Answer:

<h3>All the plants are autotrophic because they can prepare their own food using photosynthesis.</h3>

Explanation:

Animals & fungi are not autotrophic because they can not perform photosynthesis. In order to perform photosynthesis they should contain photosynthetic pigment i.e. chlorophyll. These are absent in animals & fungi. Apart from this animals & fungi have reserve food materials in the form of glycogen on the other hand plants stores the food in the form of starch. Animals & fungi lacks chloroplast.

Which best describes a person's carbon footprint?
Snezhnost [94]
Carbon footprint is the amount of CO2 a person emits, either directly or indirectly. For example, CO2 you exhale is part of your carbon footprint. But CO2 released in the process of making your clothes also counts toward your carbon footprint.

"Consider the following cross: Gl/gL x gl/gl Which combination(s) of alleles does the parent with the Gl/gL genotype contribute
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Gl, gL, GL and gl

Explanation:

The heterozygous parent has the genotype Gl/gL. Since this is a diploid individual, it has two copies of each autosomal chromosome. The slash "/" represents a separation between the two homologous chromosomes, <em>Gl</em> are the alleles of genes "G" and "L" present in one chromosome, and <em>gL</em> are the alleles of those genes present in the other chromosome.

During meiosis the total chromosome number of the original diploid cell is reduced by half, creating four haploid gametes. In a specific stage of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair and crossing over occurs, when recombination happens and one of the alleles present in one chromosome "switches" to the other chromosome, increasing genetic variation.

<u>Therefore, the Gl/gL individual can produce four different types of gametes:</u>

Gl and gL (Parental --> no crossing over occurred)

GL and gl (Recombinant --> crossing over occurred)

Explain how the reproductive strategies of mosquitoes and elephants help them overcome the natural threats of their environments
Gnoma [55]

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.
