A checkered hen mates with a checkered rooster. The genes for the checkered trait are codominant in both parents. What are the c
seropon [69]

Answer:

Option D, 75%

Explanation:

Let the genotype of co dominant checkered hen mates and checkered rooster be CcC and CcC

Where Cc – is the allele for chekered skin  

C – is the allele for non chekered skin

Co-dominant allele are those which irrespective of being dominant or recessive are expressed equally.  

The punnet square for the cross between these two would be  

Cc C

Cc CcCc CcC

C CCc          CC

3 out of 4 offsprings have chekered allele i.e CcCc, CcC and CcC. Thus, the probability of chekered offsprings would be 75%

Kay [80]
<span>The choices for this question are:
</span>-is biologically magnified in ... are recycled in
-is dissipated in ... flow through
-flows through ... are recycled in
-is continuously supplied to ... are continuously removed from
<span>-is recycled in ... flow through</span><span>

On a global scale, energy flows through ecosystems whereas chemical elements are recycle in ecosystems. So the answer is the third option. 

Energy flows through the ecosystem. Most energy comes from sunlight and it is transformed into chemical energy by autotrophs. When they are consumed by heterotrophs the energy is passed on, until it dissipates as heat.  
</span><span>
Chemical elements like carbon and nitrogen, on the other hand, are cycled between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. This is not possible for energy. These chemical elements come from abiotic factors like the air, light and soil. They are incorporated in the biomass of the photosynthetic organisms and are consumed by other organisms. They are changed back into their inorganic form when the organism dies and are broken down by decomposers and the cycle goes on. So they are constantly being recycled. 

In summary, energy needs a continuous source to be able to maintain and sustain the energy flow in the ecosystem. Chemical elements, on the other hand, are just recycled through processes between abiotic factors and biotic factors. </span>

How did the color of the trees in the squirrels’ environment change? Explain what happened to the squirrels over many generation
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The squirrels over many generations will change shades and colors to match more similarity to the new color of the trees. The colors of the trees could have changed from the weather or maybe there is a hybrid of the trees.

Explanation:

I am guessing but I hope this helps.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Add a different diet and maybe add an animal. If you put a bigger water bowl than the cage will become humid. If you change things about the terrain, its a desert so watering more plants and planting trees will make the ground more fertile to other plants. If you continue to take care of the plants until they are able to grow and reproduce. After enough time, where used to be a desert there will be a forest.
