When kelp plants in coral reefs are exposed to sunlight, blue and red wavelengths of light are absorbed by the kelp. energy from green wavelengths is lost to the kelp. explain why this phenomenon does not violate the law of conservation of energy. kelp are a closed system, so energy is allowed to exit the system. the green wavelengths are reflected from the kelp, making them appear green. green wavelengths do not contain any energy, so its loss is acceptable. the law of conservation of energy does not apply to biological systems.

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?
