According to the top down control, each trophic level is controlled by the very next trophic level. It says that predators control the population of prey.

Therefor the correct answer is D

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.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Answer is D, Heart rate monitor.

Explanation:

It is known to be true that during exercise, the rate of the heart beat increases, and this is good for our heart to keep on functioning properly.

A heart rate monitor is usually a chest strap device to measure and sometimes record the rate of the heart's activities such as rate and rhythm. This device is with electrode sensors for transmitting heart rate to an app. Example of a heart rate monitor is Holter monitor.

Alkaptonuria is an infrequent autosomal recessive condition. It is first noticed in newborns when the urine in their diapers tur
Arisa [49]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.

Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.

Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.

                    Aa     x     Aa

Progeny:    AA    2Aa    aa

Probability of being affected = 1/4

Probability of being a carrier = 1/2

Probability of not being affected = 3/4

(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2

(b) The chance that  the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4

(c)

(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.

                 AA     x     aa

                        4 Aa

<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0

(e)

(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE about Red Blood Cells (RBCs)? a) A normal RBC has a nucleus RBCs' production is
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

RBCs' production is controlled by erythropoietin.

Mature RBCs are released into the bloodstream after approximately seven days RBCs are produced in the bone marrow

Explanation:

The hormone erythropoietin is produced and released in the bloodstream by peritubular interstitial cells of kidneys. The function of erythropoietin is to increase the number of the precursors of red blood cells and thereby to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. When the oxygen supply to body cells is reduced, the hormone erythropoietin stimulates the development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes and thereby increases the RBC production.

RBCs are produced by the process of erythropoiesis and take about seven days to become mature and to be released in circulation to serve the function of oxygen delivery. The maturation of RBCs also includes the loss of most of the organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria to accommodate hemoglobin protein. The life span of circulating RBCs is about 100-120 days.
