Which of the following actions acts to warm a homeothermic body?
panting
sweating
dilating blood vessels
shivering
alteration of the set point in torpor

Shivering

Explanation: shivering action is an act to warm a homoeothermic body. Sweating makes the body cool, panting don’t keep body warm and dilating blood vessels does not keep body warm instead constriction of blood vessels is the initial process to conserve body heat followed by waves of muscle contraction, which is nothing but shivering. Alteration of the set point in torpor is also not the right answer

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.
