50 Points 8. Why does Australia have so many genetically distinct organisms?

Biology

Answer:

Australia has so many genetically distinct organisms because it has been separated from other bodies of land for a very long time. This has given species in Australia a long time to evolve independently from species in other areas of the world.

In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called running mice (R). The recessive trait
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Parental genotypes: RrBb, RRBB

Offspring phenotype: Running and black hair

Explanation:

Given, Running (R) is dominant over waltzing (r)

Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b)

Parent 1: Heterozygous running, heterozygous black = RrBb

Parent 2: Homozygous running, homozygous black = RRBB

When they mate ( RrBb X RRBB ) :

Gametes produced by RrBb = RB, Rb, rB, rb

Gametes produced by RRBB = RB

Offspring:

        RB          Rb         rB        rb

RB   RRBB    RRBb    RrBB    RrBb

All offspring mice will be running mice and will have black hair because all the four types of genotype at least have one dominant allele for both the genes.

Which changing external condition triggers the salivary glands?
gregori [183]
<span>The correct answer is B. Lack of water. When there's no water and you start to dehydrate, your salivary glands start working extra hard because your mouth can't be dry and the salivary glands produce saliva to keep the mouth and the throat dry. If your throat and mouth are dry you can't even swallow.</span>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Both use energy sources to create ATP

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Autotrophs and heterotrophs must use energy in the form of ATP to synthesize organic compounds.
  • Autotrophs and heterotrophs are both living organisms that require some form of food to get energy.
  • However, autotrophs make their own food via photosynthesis or some other similar method. Heterotrophs get their food by eating autotrophs or other heterotrophs.
