a. Make a list of as many traits as you can think of that could be used to classify a new species.
b. Which of the traits in the list above would be most useful for classification at high levels (e.g. classifying things into different kingdoms or phyla) , which would be more helpful at lower levels (e.g. family or genus)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. My list is the following:

1. presence of photosynthetic pigments

2. presence of cell wall

3. body symmetry pattern

4. presence of cell nucleus

5. presence of specialized organelles

6. presence of hair

7. presence of mammal glands  

8. niche (e.g., terrestrial or marine habitats)

9. diet (food habits)

10. position of a particular muscle

Explanation:

b. In the list above, traits such as the presence of a cell nucleus or specialized organelles can be used to classify organisms at the kingdom level (since these phenotypic features are observed in eukaryotic organisms but not in prokaryotes). In a similar mode, animals may exhibit two different body symmetry patterns: radial (around the central axis) and bilateral (two sides: left and right), thereby symmetry body can be used to classify organisms within the animal kingdom. Other features used to classify species at high levels include the presence of photosynthetic pigments in green plants (chlorophyll) and bacteria (xanthophyll), presence of cell walls in plants (composed of cellulose,)  and fungi (composed of chitin), presence of hair and mammal glands (mammals), etc. On the other hand, ecological differences (e.g., food habits, niche) and minor anatomical differences (e.g., the position of a particular muscle) are helpful to classify species at the family/genus level.

Determine the parental genotypes and proportion of offspring genotypes for locus 2. What are the genotypes of the parents with respect to locus 2 (i.e., alleles B and b)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Alleles are the different varieties of genes. For every gene, somatic cells have two alleles.An allele that is not expressed by an organism might be passed to the offspring of The organism provides one allele.

It is difficult to conclude which two alleles of a gene exist within the chromosomes of organisms.  that organism and can express in the next generation.

The parental genotypes can be determined by PUNNETT SQUARE, in which we use two letters to signify the genotype.

As the white throat code and the red throat code are alleles.

A lowercase letter represents the recessive form of a gene (allele), and a capital letter represents the dominant form of a gene (allele). For example, for the red-throated bird, white throat is a recessive trait, and red throat is a dominant trait.

There are basic steps of using Punnett Square. Step one is to determine the parent organism genotypes then write down “mating.” Draw a p- square. For each parent, split the letters of the genotype. Then place them outside the p-square. By filling the p-square, determine the genotype of the offspring. Then summarize results.

Within a plant, photosynthesis is critical. It provides cells with the glucose they need for
energy. Photosynthesis is important for another reason, too. It's part of the flow of carbon
through organisms and the environment. This cycle, known as the carbon cycle, is essential
for life on Earth. It includes several processes that are occurring all the time. When plants
photosynthesize, carbon is removed from the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. When animals
and plants use cellular respiration, carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon
dioxide. Organisms that die and are buried for millions of years turn into fossil fuels, which
are made of carbon. When humans burn those fossil fuels, carbon is released into the
atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Without enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the
planet would be too cold. But too much carbon dioxide contributes to the warming of the
planet that could make it too hot to survive.
Based on the passage, what is one reason that the carbon cycle important?
A It adds carbon into the atmosphere whenever the level begins to drop too low.
B
It helps maintain a level of carbon in the atmosphere that is neither too hot nor
too cold.
с
It removes carbon from the atmosphere whenever the level begins to become
too high.
D
It releases carbon into space, preventing it from building up in Earth's
atmosphere.

MASTERY CONNECT MITOSIS

Answers

Answer:

According to the cell cycle data provided in the table, these data indicate that cells spend most of their time preparing for the cell cycle (third option).

Explanation:

The cell cycle is divided into two major phases, interphase —without cell division— and cell division or mitosis. Interphase in turn is divided into three phases prior to the division process:

G1 phaseS phaseG2 phase

Assuming that the complete cell cycle lasts 24 hours, the cell will remain in interphase for 23 hours - preparing for the next division - investing only 1 hour in cell division or mitosis.

The data provided by the table indicate that, at a given time, there will be a greater number of cells in the interphase stages, indicating that cells spend most of their time preparing for the cell cycle.

with reference to evolution of long neck in giraffe explain how natural selection brings about adaptation of species to its environment

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to reach specific items of food that meet the dietary needs of the giraffe, they must reach for food up in the trees. Giraffes with longer necks are open to a wider array of food whereas the short necked giraffes are limited. The longer neck is seen to be more favorable. When a trait is more favorable, it has a higher likelihood of being passed on. The less favorable traits are eliminated or "weed" out and the taller giraffes mate with other tall giraffes, generating a greater population with this trait. Again, it is solely dependent on what is available around them and their surroundings.

An image of a mountain with three circles going up the side of it. The lowest circle is filled with many, smaller circles. The middle circle has fewer circles that are farther apart. The highest circle has the fewest circles that are the farthest apart.

What do the molecules in the circles model regarding altitude?
A. Air pressure increases at higher altitudes.
B. Air density decreases at higher altitudes.
C. There is a greater gravitational pull on air molecules at higher altitudes.
D. Temperature has a decreasing effect on air molecules at higher altitudes.

Answers

Answer:

B. Air density decreases at higher altitudes

Explanation:

Since air is compressible, air from higher altitudes will compress air from lower altitudes. As a result, air density at lower altitudes will be greater than air density at higher altitudes. Air particles at the highest altitudes, not being acted upon by air above it, will be more spread out.  

2. What are the three common methods of latent fingerprint enhancement?

Answers

Answer:

see description

Explanation:

In general, there are four classes of fingerprint powders-regular, luminescent, metallic and thermoplastic. In the past, powder dusting, ninhydrin dipping, iodine fuming and silver nitrate soaking were the most commonly used techniques for latent print development.

The three common methods of latent fingerprint enhancement are regular, luminescent, and thermoplastic.

What do you mean by latent fingerprint?

A latent print is an impression of the friction skin of the fingers or palms of the hands that has been transferred to another surface. The permanent and unique arrangement of the features of this skin allows for the identification of an individual to a latent print.

Latent fingerprints are traces of sweat, oil, or other natural secretions on the skin, and they are not ordinarily visible. Latent fingerprints can be made visible by dusting techniques when the surface is hard and by chemical techniques when the surface is porous.

The three fingerprint class types are arches, loops, and whorls. Arches are the least common type of fingerprint, occurring only about 5% of the time.

Fossils of the same type and same age have been found on different continents. If we were to put South America and Africa together, these fossils would even be in the same area! What does this tell us? How could this happen?


Can some one help me plz

Answers

Answer:

there have been several cases where fossils of the same type and age where found on different continents.

For example:-

"The Mesosaurus" which is an extinct genus of reptile from the Early Permian and was found in the continents of southern Africa and South America.

This seems to point to the fact that once all the continents were togethe, and they are now separate due to the Continental drift. ( the theory that states that all the continents were earlier one big form of landmass, but they have moved away from each other thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed."

But again these are all just theories and speculations but findings like these strengthen them and make people believe in these theories. They haven't exactly been confirmed. Like the evolution theory.

Blood is a critical body fluid. What role does blood play in the body? How is it usually cleaned, and how is it cleaned during dialysis?

Answers

Answer:  Dialysis cleans your blood by passing it through a filter. If you do peritoneal dialysis (PD), the filter is the lining of your abdomen (your peritoneum). If you do hemodialysis, the filter is made of plastic. Your blood is on one side of the filter.

Explanation:Hemodialysis uses a machine to pull blood out of the body, filter it, and pump the clean blood back into the body again. The actual filtering happens in a part of the machine called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney. The dialyzer has two parts. One part is for blood.
