Answer: Correct options B, D and E.
Explanation:
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)
Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
Answer:
1. ridges and trenches (either answer is acceptable)
2. mid-atlanitc
3. subduction zone
4. molten
5. oceanic trenches
Explain:
6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.
Answer and explanation:
If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.
<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.
In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
Answer:
Explanation:
<em>The probability of producing plants with white axial flowers would be 1/16.</em>
From the illustration, All F1 individuals had red, axial flowers. It thus means that red and axial genes are dominant over white and terminal genes in the pea plant.
Let us assume that the allele for flower color is A (red) and a (white); and the allele for flower location is B (axial) and b (terminal).
Pure-breeding red, axial flower = AABB
Pure breeding white, terminal flower = aabb
AABB x aabb
F1 genotype = AaBb - all red and axial
At F2:
AaBb x AaBb
Progeny
<em>9 A_B_ red/axial</em>
<em>3 A_bb red/terminal</em>
<em>3 aaB_ white/axial</em>
<em>1 aabb - white/terminal</em>
Hence, the probability of producing plants with white axial flowers in the F2 generation is 1/16.
D. Chromosomes as mitosis is essentially asexual reproduction and the offspring is the same as the parent cell
