Answer 2
Answer:

A homozygous green (yy) pea plant is crossed with a heterozygous yellow (Yy) pea plant. The phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 50 percent Yy and 50 percent yy.

Further Explanation:

Genotypes help in the genetic makeup of any individual. Phenotype describes as a physical characteristic of an individual. The genotype is responsible for the phenotypes of any individual. If two copies of the same alleles present in an organism, its genotype is called homozygous. If two copies of different alleles present in an organism, its genotype is called heterozygous.

When a homozygous dominant individual is crossed with the homozygous recessive individual the resultant offspring has the genotype which is heterozygous and phenotype which is dominant. All possible genotypes of the parent as well as offspring are graphically represented in a Punnett square.

In the given punnet square below, the parent homozygous green plant having a genotype yy is crossed with the parent heterozygous yellow plant having a genotype of Yy. The resultant offspring of filial generation tends to be 50 percent of Yy which means heterozygous and 50 percent yy which means homozygous.

Which of the following is NOT considered a potential cause of extinction?(A) introduction of a new predator
(B) introduction of a new parasite
(C) introduction of a new mutation
(D) interspecific competition for limited resources
(E) habitat destruction
Please explain the work behind the solution

Answers

C is the correct response to this query: the introduction of a new mutation. Mutations are modifications to an organism's genetic code; while they may result in phenotypic alterations, they seldom result in extinction.

What happens if a new predator hunts down ?

If a new predator is able to hunt down or outcompete an existing species, or if it spreads a disease or parasite, it can lead to extinction. If a novel parasite can spread swiftly and generate significant mortality rates, it may lead to extinction.

If one species is more suited and can outcompete the other species for resources, interspecific rivalry for scarce resources can lead to extinction. Last but not least, extinction may result through habitat damage if it results in a decrease in food, water, or shelter. something an organism requires to survive.

In conclusion, the introduction of a novel mutation is not seen to be a probable cause of extinction since mutations are often too gradual and the changes they bring about are typically too minor to do so.

What is the most important reason to continue efforts to preserve coral reefs?

Answers

Because there are some fish that can only survive in Coral reefs :/ And im sure adapting right away to the open ocean is not going to be good. On top of that we destroy a lot of Coral reefs when we have oil spills from huge boats. And preserving our nature is always a good thing because helping coral reefs could mean saving lots of coral and tropical fish and keeping our earth as beautiful as it is:)

MARK ME BRAINLIEST!:D

A researcher conducted an experiment to test whether exposure to high levels of UV radiation (that seen when ozone depletion is at its peak) harms human skin cells. He exposed human skin cells growing in Petri dishes to this level of UV radiation and determined the percentage of cells in each dish that died. He found that 30% of the cells died after 3 days of exposure to high UV radiation exposure. Why would it be unreasonable to conclude that this level of UV radiation exposure is harmful to these cells?

Answers

It be unreasonable to conclude that this level of UV radiation exposure is harmful to these cells because, There is no control group and we don't know how many cells would have died after 3 days with normal UV exposure.

Explanation:

The researcher in the given example shows the effect of UV radiation and its effects to the cells. He does not tell about the group that did not receive the UV radiation and their effects. A control group is very important in a research because it can be compared with the result obtained by some experiment effects. It is a group in an experiment in which the treatment is not given.

The results can be compared with the group under treatment with the group that did not undergo any treatment. Since, there is no control group in this experiment, we can not determine how many cells that were exposed to normal UV radiation  died after 3 days, it would be unreasonable for getting the conclusion of how harmful UV radiation exposure to these cells.

"She produced the key from her pocket and opened the trunk in my presence-this was a great honor for me, for the venerable trunk had never before been opened in the presence of another person-and immediately there wafted out of it a strange yet familiar scent, a scent of age, a smell of the distant past, of years which have been folded up and stored away." A. sight
B. taste
C. touch
D.. sound

Answers

Reading the passage there are two senses that are evidently used. These senses are A. SIGHT and though not included in the choices SENSE OF SMELL.

Sense of sight - seeing her produce the key from her pocket ; seeing a trunk being opened.

Sense of smell - smelling a scent once the trunk that has been opened. 

The answer would be E. smell
