9.(02.03 MC) The coming together of two terrestrial plates can change ecosystems by (4 points)
decreasing the gene pool as different species of animals and plants to interbreed

introducing new species between previously-separated land masses, altering existing food chains

creating new habitats for land animals that fill niches at lower altitudes and warmer temperatures

increasing the area of the shoreline, providing more habitats for marine life that need greater sunlight

Which of the following are the functions of the skeletal system? blood cell production in soft marrow tissues and mineral reserves largest organ of the body for defense and support vitamin d production and pumping blood through vessels voluntary movement and contractile movement

Write a paragraph at least 5 sentences “why all vaccinations should be mandatory”

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning.
