Retrieve your animal tissue specimens. if you have an edmentum lab kit, your specimens are frog skin, human cardiac
(heart) muscle, and human red blood cells.
as you did with the protist slide, start with the lowest magnification and record what you see. identify the structure of the
tissue and whether you can see any individual cells and cell structures. repeat with the next two magnification settings.
in the answer space, write down what you observed for each sample under each magnification.

6. in domesticated cats, the following are independently assorting: normal ears (t) is dominant to tufted ears (t); curved whiskers (c) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); the presence of six toes (s) is dominant to five toes (s); gene for hair length is an x-linked codominant. the three phenotypes for hair length are long (xhxh), medium (xhxh), and short (xhxh); medium is the heterozygous condition. given two parents: ttccssxhxh x ttccssxhy how many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? how many phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?

African penguins, which inhabit the coasts of southern africa, were classified as an endangered species in 2010. two significant threats to their survival are ecosystem damage from oil spills and overfishing by humans. overfishing depletes the food supply of african penguins. the best method to reduce the threat of overfishing would be to . the risk of oil spills could be reduced by increasing the use of , which should oil consumption. if an oil spill does occur, could be used to remove the oil so the ecosystem may more quickly recover.

The graph shows the amount of global warming happening in different ecosystems. which populations of organisms will likely decline the most as a result of climate change, and why? a. coral reefs because of the loss of the symbiotic algae living within their bodies b. penguin populations because the fish they eat will move into warmer waters c. mountain-dwelling birds because rising sea levels will relocate their food sources d. large cats in the rainforest because of decreased habitat loss for their prey
