Answer:

1. If you have two copies of the allele for brown hair, you are homoozygous for that trait.

2. If you have two copies of the allele for brown hair, you are homoozygous for that trait.

3. Since sickle cell disease requires two alleles that are alike, a person with a heterozygous would not have the disease.

How do the roots and stem take part in the transport of water in a plant?








please make a good explanation and make long answer pls! thanks :D

Answers

Answer:

The roots take part in the transport of water in a plant by absorbing water from the ground. The stem moves the water to the rest of the plant.

Explanation:

When a plant is in wet soil, the roots absorb the water from the ground and carry it to the stem. Then, the steam acts as a passageway and the water goes up the steam, and into other areas of the plant, sucks as leave, and (if the plant has them) flowers.

Find the mean, median, and mode of the following list of values. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Mean = 99
Median = 26
Mode = 26

Mean = 24.8
Median = 34
Mode = 26
b.
Mean = 24.8
Median = 26
Mode = 25
d.
Mean = 24.8
Median = 26
Mode = 26


Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A
B
C
D

Answers

Answer:

D.

Mean: 24.8

Median: 26

Mode: 26

Explanation:

The mean is the average. To find the average, add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers there are.

30 + 26 + 25 + 11 + 34 + 20 + 26 + 26 = 198

Now, we divide by how many numbers we started out with (8).

198 divided by 8 = 24.75, rounded would be 24.8

To find the median, you arrange the numbers from smallest to largest, and find the middle number like this:

11, 20, 25, 26, 26, 26, 30, 34

As you can see, the middle number is 26.

To find the mode, you arrange the number from smallest to largest, and find the number that appears more often.

11, 20, 25, 26, 26, 26, 30, 34

As you can see, the number 26 appears the most often.

So, we end up with:

Mean: 24.8

Median: 26

Mode: 26

For the first page: These adaptations are advantageous. For example, the dart frog’s bright colors warns predators to stay away from them. This will help them survive because they will not be bothered by any predators. Because the Hosta lives in such a crowded environment it is to its advantage that it has big leaves to get as much sunlight as possible. This makes it more likely to survive than other plants. Both of these advantages help the living thing to be stronger.
For page 2: These adaptations are advantageous. The Toucan has a long and narrow beak that helps it get fruit other birds cannot get. This gives them access to more food which can help them outlive other birds. The Monstera plant has adapted so that it does not mold. This helps it stay healthy whereas other plants may grow mold. These two organisms have adapted so that they have one sure advantage that will help them live longer than other species. The advantages are different but they both serve the same purpose.

The correct answer is option B.

Diffusion is the process of movement of both the solute and solvent. the characteristic of diffusion is that it does not require a membrane or a layer separating two parts. In diffusion particles or solutes move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

In the example, we can see that red particles are together in a place and after some time they get distributed evenly in the entire liquid. This process is known as diffusion as it does not require a membrane.

The Blacklegged Tick is a parasite of the White-Footed Mouse. The White-Footed Mouse carries the bacteria which cause Lyme Disease. The bacteria are spread to ticks that bite infected mice.

Scientists have proposed that increased human development has led to an increase in the White-Footed Mouse population which can lead to increased cases of Lyme Disease in humans.

Answering which scientific question would BEST support the scientist’s hypothesis?
