<span>When you are pregnant, you do not ovulate because you have already fertilized an egg and it is embedded into the uterus where it is growing into a baby. The body knows this, so it does not shed the uterine lining. The shedding of this lining is triggered by hormones which change when the body is pregnant. During pregnancy, a large amount of progesterone is initially produced which helps to prevent the lining from shedding. If you are not pregnant, your progesterone level will begin to decline at the end of your cycle, triggering the shedding of the lining and the period. Birth control pills alter your hormones to mimic a pregnant state. This will prevent the body from releasing an egg and then shedding the uterine lining.</span>
Answer:
Carrying capacity was reached due to the abundance of prey
Answer:
% GENOTYPE
FF = 0%
Ff = 50%
ff = 50%
% PHENOTYPE
Black fur = 50%
Grey fur = 60%
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in dogs. The allele for grey fur (F) is dominant over the allele for black fur (f). This means that a heterozygous dog (Ff) will have a grey fur.
In this question, a heterozygous female (Ff) is said to cross with a recessive male (ff) i.e. Ff × ff. The following gametes will be produced by each parent:
Ff - F and f
ff - f and f
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic proportion of offsprings will be produced:
Ff - 1/2 = 50%
ff - 1/2 = 50%
Ff is phenotypically GREY while ff is phenotypically BLACK. This means that 50% of the offsprings will be black and 50% will be grey.
