Answer: Annelida

Leeches are soft bodied segmented parasitic worms. They belong to the phylum Annelida. They are hermaphrodites which means they exhibit sex organs of both male and female.

The characteristics which are found in leeches which group them into Annelida are:

1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.

2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.

3. Leeches either exhibit a protusible pharynx or proboscis which allows them to suck the blood of the host such features are also common in other Annelids.

Tall pea plants are dominant, while short plants are recessive. In a cross between a purebred tall plant and a purebred short pl
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1. tall (or heterozygous)

2. 3:1

3. carriers

4. Each parent organism contributes one copy of its alleles in a seemingly random fashion to its offspring, as meiosis to create gametes (egg or sperm cells) reduces the number of genes by half. Therefore, each gamete contributes only one allele.

5. A Punnett square is a diagram used to map out the possible genotypes of a child given the genotypes of its parents. In a Punnett square, the genotype of one parent is listed in the first row of the square, and the genotype of the second parent is listed in the first column. Then, in the middle squares, all possible genotypes of their offspring are listed, and the phenotypes are calculated using the law of dominance.

6. Purebred strains of organisms always produce heterozygous offspring in the first generation, with all members of the first generation exhibiting the dominant trait for the gene of interest. The second generation typically has a 3:1 mix of dominant and recessive phenotypes, respectively.

7. Punnett squares predict that the second generation of two distinct purebred homozygotes for a trait will have a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits. Mendel did careful statistical analysis on his hybridization experiments and found that, for each of his seven characteristics of interest, the ratio was approximately, but not exactly, 3:1. Therefore, Mendel's experimental observations match the predictions of Punnett squares quite well.

The nutritional energy content (in Calories) present in 86g of broccoli with 2.6g of protein, 6g of carbohydrates, and 0.3g of f
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

40 Cal

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Protein present in the broccoli = 2.6 g

Carbohydrates present in the broccoli = 6 g

Fat present in the broccoli = 0.3 g

Now,

We know,

Energy provided by protein and carbohydrates = 4 Cal / g

and,

Energy provided by Fats = 9 Cal / g

Therefore,

Total nutritional energy content = ∑(Amount × Energy provided)

= ( 2.6  × 4 ) + (6 × 4) + (0.3 × 9)

= 10.4 + 24 + 2.7

= 37.1 Cal    

rounding off the answer to nearest 5 ≈ 40 Cal
