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.
5. Therefore, each gamete contributes only one allele. 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.

Answer:
The correct answer is "Fist sequence; Fourth sequence; Second sequence; Third sequence".
Explanation:
Inversion of DNA is a process that often occurs during evolution of chromosomes. It occurs when the breakage of a chromosome in two places, results in the reinsertion of a DNA but in a reversed fashion. The evolutionary order of predecessors of inversion of DNA can be established by looking on the number of nucleotides that are different in the sequences of DNA. In this case, the first sequence is the ancestor and it haves the sequence "ABCDEF". The second in the evolutionary order is the fourth sequence since it originates from the first sequence only by changing the "BC" nucleotides to the end of the sequence "ADEFBC". The third in the evolutionary order is the second sequence since it still starts in AB, but has the other four nucleotides different: "ABFEDC". The last in the evolutionary order is the third sequence, which is completely different and reversed respect to the first sequence: "FEDABC".
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
Answer:
Option A, Hormones are controlled by a feedback loop; information about a system is sent back to the controller of the system to improve its function.
Explanation:
Negative feedback loop controls the hormone production and release. This is done by eliciting the release of substances till a certain level after which the stop signal is activated thereby preventing further release. By this method, concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within the narrow range.
For example – Thyroid hormones is released when the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid. This continues till the hormones in the blood reach the threshold level. Once the threshold level is reached, hypothalamus receives a feedback and then signals anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid
Hence, option A is correct
Hypothalamus
When there is abnormally high internal temperature, sensors
in the Central Nervous System send signals to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus initiates thermoregulation
by sending messages to various organs and body systems with a various
mechanisms. High temperature will set off sweating and vasodilation to cool down
the body.
