Answers

Answer 1
Answer: An area having relatively little precipitation due to the effect of a topographic barrier, especially a mountain range, that causes the prevailing winds to lose their moisture on the windward side, causing the leeward side to be dry.

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring?A. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25 percent pp)
B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25 percent pp)
C. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp)
D. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail (50 percent PP; 50 percent pp)

Answers

The answer is B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) 

If P represents dominant allele (a polka-dot tail), p represents recessive allele (a solid colored tail), then heterozygous individuals have Pp genotype. All alleles will combine each other:

Parental generation:      Pp     x     Pp
Offspring:                  PP    Pp    Pp    pp

Thus, the probability of PP genotype is 1/4 (there is only 1 of total 4 possible genotypes), which is 25%. The probability of Pp genotype is 1/2 or 50%, and 
the probability of pp genotype is 1/2 or 25%.

Talking of phenotypes, the P allele is dominant and each genotype containing P allele will have the polka-dot phenotype. In this case, there are 3 out of 4 genotypes containing P allele - 1 PP and 2 Pp. So, the probability of the polka-dot tail is 3/4 or 75%, leaving the 
probability of the solid color tail 1/4 or 25%.

Which of these is an indicator of the age of a woody plant?. . . . The number of growth rings. . . . The thickness of the growth rings. . . . The distance between the growth rings.

Answers

The correct answer among the choices listed above is the first option. The number of growth rings is an indicator of the age of a woody plant. A growth ring a concentric layer of wood which is developed on a regular period of growth of a plant.
the number of growth rings determine age of woody plant

Hunter is studying for his ecology test. Which fact would least likely show up in his notes?

Answers

Since you didn't give me a choice, I'll explain what ecology is. Ecology is the study of the ecosystem. Therefore, a question likely to be in the notes would be about how organisms interact with each other. 

Final answer:

The fact that would least likely show up in Hunter's ecology notes is the history of the microscope.

Explanation:

The fact that would least likely show up in Hunter's ecology notes is the history of the microscope. While understanding the history of scientific instruments is important in the context of science, it is not directly relevant to ecology. Ecology focuses on the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment, including concepts like ecosystems, food chains, and biodiversity.

It is advantageous for animals that migrate to store energy in the form of lipids rather than carbohydrates. This is because

Answers

The answer is: lipids store more energy than carbohydrates.

Lipids are the long-term energy storage. This is because they consist of much higher proportion of hydrogen. So, they are easier to store than carbohydrates and have more energy for their weight. 

Answer:

D) lipids weigh less and store more energy than carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Although it is true that lipids do not form polymers, the option that best answers this question is due to the fact that it is easier to move when you weigh less and much more efficient to burn fat than carbohydrates if you are gaining more energy per gram in the event of a long migration. However, quick energy is better supplied through carbohydrates.
