Answer:

Haploid organisms have only one allele per <em>locus</em>

Explanation:

In haploid species, the number of alleles for a single <em>locus</em> always will be only one. Haploid species contain one complete set of chromosomes in their somatic cells. In nature, species are generally diploids but there are exceptions to this norm (e.g., male bees, ants and wasps are derived from an unfertilized egg). Consequently, in haploid organisms, the allelic and genotypic frequencies are the same. In this case, it is also important to note that the three remaining alleles will be distributed among the other haploid individuals in the population.

A grocery store newspaper claims that apple cider and honey can cure cancer, bronchitis, acne, bad breath, heart disease, athlet
frosja888 [35]
The shopper should first ask if this claims created by the newspaper is true and is backed up by actual facts. While apple cider and honey do have positive benefits, it is not the answer to all ailments.
Assuming that everything said was true, the shopper then must know whether or not he/she has allergies to apple cider and honey like itching, rashes, difficulty in swallowing, etc.
Lastly, the shopper should ask how much apple cider and honey should he/she take. Too much of both can lead to adverse side effects. If he/she were to consume apple cider and honey exclusively, then they should visit a doctor or a nutritionist in order to get the right amount of intake.

if a rabbit consumes 500 calories of plant material, how much of that would be passed on to a hawk in the following food chain?
slamgirl [31]
10% of energy is lost (to heat), for each level of the food chain. So the rabbit would have 500, the snake would have 50 and the hawk would have 5.

Gel analysis of fragments in step 6 shows that even though the undigested DNA and DNA digested with HindIII are both 1000 bp, th
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Size of the band varied

Explanation:

In the given question, the options are not provided but based on the information provided in the question, it can be predicted.

When the DNA was digested by the HindIII, then the length of the digest came about 1000 bp and the undigested DNA was also found 1000 bp.

When both the bands were analysed by Gel electrophoresis then the bands do not run to the same distance therefore this shows that the size of both the bands was not equal and their size varied.

Thus, the size of the band varied is correct.

Alecsey [184]

C is incorrect

Both acids and bases produce ions in solution, are electrolytes, and conduct electricity in solution. Although red litmus is an indicator, it does not change color in an acid, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. Soaps often contain bases, not acids.

D) conduct electricity in water. is the correct answer

The model below shows the structure of a portion of a plasma membrane in an animal cell. The model shows the structure of a port
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The amphipathic property of the phospholipids that constitute the membrane

Explanation:

It seems like a options-based answer so it would be better if they were included here but basically, each of those phospholipid molecules has two parts with antagonistic reactions towards water.

The head is polar or hydrophilic, wich means it can be sorrounded by water. The tail, is apolar or hydrophobic which means it is repelled by water.

The interior and exterior of the cell is contain water-based substances, that's why the heads of the phospholipids are oriented like that with the tails protected inside the membrane.

This double layer structure has a fundamental role in the fluid property of the cell membrane from which derive most of it's functions.
