Answer:

Explanation:

You have to assume that this is complete dominance and one of these traits is dominant. To get the recessive characteristic, the alleles (versions of the gene) both have to be recessive (both lower case). But to have the dominant phenotype, either both alleles could be dominant (upper case) or you could have one of each (heterozygous, where you have one upper case and one lower case). 

So there are two possibilities for genotype of the cat with the dominant characteristic. Since you don't know (yet) which it is, just use the letters "E" and "e" and set up the two possible Punnett squares: 

......|...e...|...e...| 

..E..|..Ee..|..Ee..| 

..E..|..Ee..|..Ee..| 

......|...e...|...e...| 

..E..|..Ee..|..Ee..| 

..e...|..ee..|..ee..| 

In the first Punnett square, all the offspring have the same genotype, so they would also have the same phenotype. In the second square, you have offspring with two genotypes, one of which would produce the dominant phenotype (Ee) and one of which would produce the recessive phenotype (ee). Since your problem states that all the offspring have the same phenotype, the correct Punnett square is the first one where all the kittens are heterozygous (Ee). Since the dominant allele (E) masks the recessive allele (e), then curly ears has to be the dominant trait, since that's the phenotype of all the kittens.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Prezygotic barriers:

1. Habitat isolation

2. Behavioral isolation

Explanation:

Pre-zygotic barriers are the barriers which do not allow the formation of the zygote in the organisms.

The two mechanisms of the pre-zygotic barriers are the:

1. Habitat isolation: the Flycatchers do not share the same habitat which is also mentioned in the question that they live on different islands.

2. The behavioural isolation: the Flycatchers could have evolved the different mating rituals as a result of which the could not interbreed.

Thus, Habitat isolation and Behavioral isolation are correct.

Amphiarthrodial joints display ___ movement than synarthrodial joints.
Misha Larkins [42]
The answer to this question would be more movement.

The amphiarthrodial joint is a joint that you will found in the rib cage. This joint doesn't have a synovial cavity and only allow a little movement.
But synarthrodial joints movement is practically zero. The example for <span>synarthrodial joint would be suture in your skull. Skull joint in adult can't move so its volume can't be changed.</span>

Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing
Shtirlitz [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing Intra-specific competition.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Intra-specific competition means competition among the members of same species.
  • Individual of same species have same ecological niche i.e. how an organism is related with biotic and abiotic aspect of environment.
  • So they require same resources of their survival. When population of any species increases then there is high chance of intra-specific competition because of limited resources.
  • Intra-specific competition also determine the population size of species. For example, competition among shark rodents.

A researcher incubates a cell with radiolabeled amino acids. These amino acids are incorporated into the proteins as they are sy
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

During an investigation, the addition of radiolabeled amino acids during protein synthesis occurs when the data shows high levels of radiation in protein synthesis, packaging and transport, which is equivalent to saying that radioactivity levels would first increase in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the Golgi and then the secretory vesicles (option C).

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in the cell is a process that involves the formation of polypeptide chains with the successive incorporation of amino acids.

RNA, which contains the sequence of triplets or codons that form the genetic code, is coupled to the ribosomes. Each codon or triplet consists of three nucleotides and encodes specific amino acids.

The RNA chain contains a specific nucleotide sequence and determines the assembly of amino acids to a polypeptide chain, by the action of ribosomes present in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

In the Golgi apparatus, the proteins formed are conjugated, with the addition of carbohydrates or lipids, and arranged in secretory vesicles for transport.

In these steps, where the labeled amino acids are present, the levels of radioactivity would increase in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and the secretory vesicles.
