The snowy owl lives in the tundra, a cold biome in North America. In the year 2000, there were 200 snowy owls in a sample of the

tundra. In the year 204, there were only 126.

Explanation:

In 2000 there were 200 snowy owls and in 2004 there were 126 snowy owls .

so, the number of snowy owls decreased is : (200-126)

= 74

now this number has decreased in 4 years . so per year decrease is : (74/4)=18.5

Answer:

18.5

Explanation:

We are given that there were 200 snowy owls at first and then after four years, the population dwindled to 126.

The difference is 200-126, or 74.

There was a gap of 4 years, and it's a constant rate, so our answer is 74/4, or 18.5.

3. Two black rabbits thought to be homozygous for coat colour were mated and produced a litter that contained all black babies.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Cross each to a rabbit who you know is homozygous - i.e. a white rabbit. If there are any white offspring you know this is the heterozygote.

Explanation:

Heterozygous individuals are those with 2 different alleles of a gene. Homozygous individuals have have 2 alleles that are the same.

Imagine the allele for coat color is B black, or b white. If you cross 2 individuals who are homozygous for the black gene (BB), they would only produce black rabbits in the F1 (BB). If you cross the F1, they could only produce BB rabbits in the F2.

However, if you cross a heterozygous rabbit with a homozygous black rabbit (Bb x BB), you would get either BB or Bb rabbits in the F1. However, intercrossing them could produce BB, Bb, or bb rabbits. Therefore, white rabbits can be produced.

You know that white rabbits are bb. So if you are unsure about the genotype of the black rabbit, you can cross it with a white rabbit (either BB x bb or Bb x bb). If any white rabbits appear in the F1, you know there must be a b allele in the black rabbit genotype, so that rabbit must be heterozygous.

Explain why the vessels that transport water in trees must be very small in diameter.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The diameter of the xylem vessels should be small in order for the capillary action to take place.

Explanation:

The vessels through which water is transported to different parts of the plants and trees are the xylem. Water is transported in the trees through a mechanism named as capillary action. This mechanism can occur only if the diameter of the vessels are small.

The water molecules adhere to the walls of xylem and an upward force is generated. If the diameter of the vessels i.e xylem would be small then the surface tension between the xylem and water molecules would be enough to move the water in an upward direction.
