There are choices for this question namely: 

<span>A) tonsil
B) thymus
C) Peyer's patch
D) appendix
</span>
The correct answer is "tonsil". Tonsils are lymphoid tissue that is found in the oral mucosa. The tonsils are arranged in a ring-like fashion called the Waldeyer's ring. This ring comprises of two tubal tonsils, two palatine tonsils, one adenoid tonsil, and one lingual tonsils. In cases of infection involving the oral mucosa and the pharynx, the tonsils become inflamed as well and the condition is called acute tonsillopharyngitis.

In a particular human family, John and his mother both have brachydactyly (a rare autosomal dominant allele causing short finger
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Brachydactyly and Huntington are phenotypic diseases that develop when a person has one or two dominant alleles for these traits.

John's father has the Huntington disease, but not brachydactyly so his genotype is Hh/bb.

John's mother is a healthy women with brachydactyly, so her's genotype is probably hh/BB or hh/Bb.

What similarities, if any, do you think exist between a human’s reproductive cycle and the life cycle of a fern? What difference
ipn [44]

Answer:

Plant Reproduction and Life Cycle. The life cycle of a plant is very different from the life cycle of an animal. Humans are made entirely of diploid cells (cells with two sets of chromosomes, referred to as ''2n''). ... Plants, however, can live when they are at the stage of having haploid cells or diploid cells.

Explanation:

In an animal life cycle, male and female parents each create sex cells (sperm and eggs) that unite to form a fertilized egg and develop into an offspring organism. Plants, likewise, have sperm and eggs in their life cycles, but these are produced by an intermediate stage between the adult and the offspring.

A yellow female Labrador retriever was mated with a brown male. Half of the puppies were brown, and half were yellow. Explain ho
Over [174]

Answer:

The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb EE.

Explanation:

In Labradors coat colour is controlled by two genes. Suppose the two genes are B and E. B produces black colour and recessive form bb gives brown colour. Gene E is epistatic over gene B in its recessive form which means that ee will produce yellow colour regardless of the genotype present of B gene.

The first case is possible if the female lab is bbee (yellow) and the male lab is bbEe (brown):

bbee X bbEe

        bE      be

be  bbEe    bbee

So half of the offspring will be brown (bbEe) and half of them will be yellow (bbee)

The second case is possible if the same female bbee mates with a brown male of different genotype which can be bbEE:

bbee X bbEE

         bE

be   bbEe

So all offspring will be brown (bbEe)

Hence, the first male was bbEe and the second male was bbEE.

Which statement describes the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: A.) Heterotrophs compete for the same food source.  

A food chain is a linear sequence in which food and energy is being transfered when one organism is fed the another organism in an ecosystem. A food web is a interconnection of two or more food chains. Heterotrophs are  organisms which are dependent upon other organisms for the food requirement. In the given condition, the lizard and frogs are the heterotrophs which are dependent upon insects for their food requirement.

<em>Hence, heterotrophs compete for the same food source is the correct statement to describe the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web. </em>
