Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Charles Darwin

Explanation:

In Galapagos Islands, Darwin observed that animals from different parts were clearly similar but had very different features (such as beak type in finches).

A gardener crosses tall true–breeding pea plants with short true–breeding ones. Tall plants are dominant to short ones. He collects the seeds to grow F1 plants and then allows them to self–pollinate to form an F2 generation. Which of the following describes the traits of the offspring correctly?

A.
Three–fourths of the F1 and one–half of the F2 plants will be tall.
B.
All of the F1 and three–fourths of the F2 plants will be tall.
C.
Three–fourths of the F1 and all of the F2 plants will be tall.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T = tall allele (dominant), t = short allele

True breeds are homo-zygous.

So the gardener is crossing TT with tt, with the resulting genotype of F1 all equal to Tt, i.e. all Tall hetero-zygous.

When the F1 pea plants are allowed to self-polinate, F2 results in Tt crossing with Tt, with the genotypes TT, Tt, tT and tt, and phenotypes 75% tall and 25% short, tall being dominant.

Throughout human existence we have relied on the oceans – for food, as a waste dump, for recreation, for economic opportunities and so on. However, it’s not only our activities in the marine environment that affect life in the sea – it’s also the things we do on land.

With more than half the world’s population now living within 100 kilometres of the coast, it’s not surprising that our activities are taking their toll. Human impacts have increased along with our rapid population growth, substantial developments in technology and significant changes in land use. Over-fishing, pollution and introduced species are affecting life in the sea – and New Zealand is no exception!


Threats to marine habitats

Human actions at sea and on land are putting increasing pressure on the ocean and the species that live there.

Fisheries

Humans living near the coast have probably always used the ocean as a source of food. However, with advances in fishing equipment, larger ships and new tracking technologies, many fish stocks around the world have reduced significantly. Fish stocks on continental shelf areas are now widely considered to be fully or over exploited. Aside from reducing fish stocks, unsustainable fishing practices can have other negative impacts on the marine environment. For example, some fishing techniques such as dredging and trawling can cause widespread damage to marine habitats and organisms living on the sea floor. These techniques also often capture non-target species (known as bycatch) that are then discarded.

Commercial fishing boat

Fishing was probably the first use of the oceans by humans. In the last century, significant increases in commercial fishing have resulted in the over-exploitation of many fish stocks.

In New Zealand, fisheries are managed by a quota system that sets catch limits for commercially important species and aims at sustainable management of our fish stocks. The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society (NZ) publishes the Best Fish Guide to try and encourage us to make more sustainable choices when purchasing seafood. The list evaluates fish stocks and bycatch levels and the fishing methods used.

Pollution

Our oceans have long been used as an intentional dumping ground for all sorts of waste including sewage, industrial run-off and chemicals. In more recent times, policy changes in many countries have reflected the view that the ocean does not have an infinite capacity to absorb our waste. However, marine pollution remains a major problem and threatens life in the sea at all levels.

Some marine pollution may be accidental, for example, oil spills caused by tanker accidents. Some may be indirect, when pollutants from our communities flow out to sea via stormwater drains and rivers. Some effects may not be immediately obvious, for example, bioaccumulation – the process where levels of toxic chemicals in organisms increase as they eat each other at each successive trophic level in the food web.

How does reducing gene flow cause speciation?
A. it increases fossilization
B. it creates patches of favorable habit
C. it increases gene flow
D. it allows populations to become genetically different

Answers

The answer is D. It allows population to become genetically different

Gene flow cause speciation because it allows populations to become genetically different.

What is speciation?Speciation is the process of creating a new plant or animal species.

When a group within a species separates from other members of the species and develops its own distinct feature  known as speciation.

what is gene flow?Gene flow refers to the movement of alleles (genes) from one population to another across geographical boundaries.

Gene flow is the movement of genes into and out of a population.

Individual creatures may migrate to new populations and reproduce, or gametes may move .

for example as a consequence of pollen transfer among plants.

How does gene flow affect speciation?

By recombining the gene pools of the groups and thereby mending the emerging differences in genetic variation that would have led to full speciation.

The establishment of daughter species, gene flow strongly opposes speciation.

Hence, the correct option is D

What are the two main types of minerals?

Answers

Answer:

The two main types of minerals are macro minerals and trace minerals.

Explanation:

Macro means large in Greek. And your body needs larger amounts of macro minerals. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur make up the macro mineral group.

A trace of anything indicates that only a small amount of it exists. Even while your body requires trace minerals, it only requires a small amount of each. Iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium are examples of trace minerals.

O C. The horse latitudes moves north.
O D. The doldrums moves south.

Answers

A. The correct answer is “Polar jet streams moving south.”

The polar jet stream moves south is accompanies a cold spell in Minnesota. Therefore, option (A) is correct.

What do you mean by polar jet stream?

Polar jet stream is a belt of strong upper-level breezes that sits on the polar front. The winds generally move in a westerly direction in midlatitudes and are strongest at the tropopause, the upper boundary of the troposphere.

The convergence of cold air masses coming down from the Arctic and warm air coming up from the tropics creates the jet. Profound box and soak edges arise as the denser virus air sinks and redirects warm air locales north, giving the fly stream its wavy appearance.

The northern polar jet stream is the most important jet stream for aviation and weather forecasting on Earth because it is much stronger and lower in altitude than the subtropical jet streams.

Answers

Answer:

In the presence of lidocaine, the action potential was NOT affected at R1 because lidocaine was applied downstream of R1

Explanation:

Lidocaine is an anesthetic that has the power to neutralize neuromal membranes. This anesthetic power allows the ionic fluxes capable of stimulating impulses to be diffused and this allows a dormancy to be achieved. However, when lidocaine is applied downstream to a molecule or structure, the action potential of that structure or molecule is not affected and it may continue to receive impulses.
