Canine phosphofructokinase (PFK) deficiency afflicts Springer spaniels, affecting an estimated 10 percent of the breed. Given its critical role in glycolysis, one implication of the genetic defect resulting in PFK deficiency in dogs is .A) early embryonic mortality
B) elevated blood-glucose levels in the dog's blood
C) an intolerance for exercise
D) a reduced life span

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i. e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?

Zoe decided to measure the hand length of each of her classmates. first she marked a line across each student's wrist and lined up a ruler from this mark to the top of the middle finger to measure the length. then she recorded the measurements in the table below. marla did this the same way for each classmate, and then zoe used this ruler to measure each straight line and record the data below. this data is invalid. what is the most likely reason why it is invalid? the ruler is marked in centimeters, but zoe recorded data in inches. the range of lengths is too wide, so zoe must have misread the ruler. marla’s complicated measuring procedure was overly confusing. marla could have been inconsistent while drawing outlines of fingers.

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.
