Humans have a gene, "T" that is involved in muscle formation of the tongue. Individuals with the one allele can roll their tongu

es, while individuals with the other allele cannot. If both parents can roll their tongues, but their child cannot, what can be said about the mode of inheritance?A. Tongue-rolling is dominant.B. Tongue-rolling is recessive.C. The parents were both homozygous, while the child was heterozygous.D. Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous (Tt).E. Tongue-rolling is recessive, and both parents were heterozygous (Tt).

Answer:

Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous

Explanation:

Tongue rolling is a type of variation in human beings. When allelic genes are not identical as in Tt, the condition is referred to as heterozygous. An individual with such a genotypic condition is referred to as a heterozygote.

Both parents had a genotype of Tt and they could roll their tongues because T is dominant over the t gene.

              T     t

  T         TT   Tt

   t         Tt     tt

TT : Tt : tt

1 : 2 : 1

In a heterozygous parent Tt, the chance of producing T gamete from both parents is each 1/2 each. Similarly the chance of forming t gamete is 1/2. Therefore, the chance of gamete T and t fusing to get genotype Tt is 1/2*1/2=1/4.

The ratios of phenotypes are 3/4 will be able to roll the tongue and 1/4 will not be able to roll the tongue.

The mode of inheritance was monohybrid inheritance since one characteristic like tongue-rolling is controlled by a single pair of hereditary factors contributed by both parents.

Hyperpolarization means that the ________. Group of answer choices membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting pot
gladu [14]

Answer:

Hyperpolarization means that the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.

Explanation:

The voltage across the membrane of a neuron that is at rest and not sending out signals is called the resting membrane potential, or just the resting potential. The concentration gradients of ions across the membrane and the amount of each type of ion that can pass through the membrane determine the resting potential. When a neuron is at rest, there are different levels of sodium and potassium on both sides of the cell membrane. Ions move down their gradients through channels. This creates a difference in charge, which gives rise to the resting potential.

When the membrane potential at a particular location on the neuron's membrane gets more negative, this phenomenon is known as hyperpolarization. Depolarization, on the other hand, occurs when the membrane potential becomes less negative (more positive). Both depolarization and hyperpolarization can take place as a result of the opening and closing of ion channels in the membrane, which changes the rate at which certain types of ions can enter or leave the cell.

It would be B.) ospreys; decomposers

Since ospreys eat nothing but fish, if all of the trout died from a disease, the ospreys wouldn't have anything to eat because all of the fish are dead. This results in a loss of energy for the ospreys.

However, decomposers would gain more energy because they gain their energy from dead creatures, in this case, it would be the trout.
