Ducklings follow their mother due to imprinting.

<u>C imprinting</u>

Attachment of newborn babies to mothers is a species typical behavior that has received a lot of attention. Newly hatched ducklings, which walk as soon as they hatch, follow their mother almost immediately. Similar attachment occur in many other species.

The process by which attachment develops is called imprinting. Baby ducklings follow the first large moving object they see after hatching, especially if it makes duck sounds. Normally this is the mother, but if ducklings hatch in an incubator, they will form an attachment to a person, a large, moving orange ball, or almost anything else that is the first large moving object they see.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a single gene with four different alleles.
tino4ka555 [31]
The answer is D) 1/2.

If each allele confers a unit of color darkness, then only genotypes S2S3 and S1S4 will have 5 units of color darkness because in genotype S2S3 S2 will have 2 units, and S3 will have 3 units, which is 5 units in total. The similar math is for <span>genotypes S1S4.
</span>
Now, let's cross S1S3 and S2S4:
Parents:          S1S3      x     S2S4
Offspring:  S1S2    S1S4     S2S3     S3S4

The offspring with genotype S1S2 will have 3 units of color darkness. The offspring with genotype S1S4 will have 5 units, as well as the offspring with genotype S2S3. The <span>offspring with genotype S3S4 will have 7 units.
It can be assumed that only 2 genotypes out of 4 will have 5 units:
2/4 = 1/2.</span>

What combinations of alleles could result from a crossover between BD and bd chromosomes?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Bb, Db , Bd and Dd

Explanation:

When a cross between two parents (having certain trait) is carried out , they share their alleles with each other to produce offspring with new traits. These offspring have gentically different allele combination as compared to their parents. A  genetic cross can be represented by a punnet square (as given below)

The cross between two parents with genotype "BD" and "bd" will result into the following offspring -

B D

b Bb Db

d Bd Dd

In grasslands, goats are prey for both foxes and tigers. If the population of goats decreases because of natural causes, what ar
Andreas93 [3]
The following option are correct:
1. There will be interspecific competition between foxes and tigers.
Competition for food between animals of different species is called interspecific competition while that between the same animal species is called intraspecific competition. 
2. The energy received at the tropic level of carnivores will be less than the usual amount.
The energy received at the trophic level become reduced because the amount of food available for the carnivores has been reduced.
3. There will be decreased biomass at the trophic level of carnivores.
Decrease biomass will occur at the trophic level of carnivores because, those carnivores that can not survive the food reduction problem will die off.
