In farmland areas poor drainage can lead to a buildup of salt in water supplies. A student performed an investigation to study the
effects of salinity on the germination rates of seeds. The student
places seeds in several solutions containing 0% to 3% salt. The
data from this investigation is shown below and suggests that
increased salinity in more areas may lead to a decrease in which of
the following?

What initially causes a nerve impulse? release of enzymes out of the neuron movement of chemicals into the dendrites of the neuron pathogens attacking the dendrites of the neuron red blood cells bathing the neuron

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.

Ecology can best be described as the study of what
