Answer 2

The mantle is so hot that it allows the rocky material to flow gradually. The correct option is D.

What are the layers of Earth?

The crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core are the four principal parts that make up the earth's structure.

Each layer has a distinct chemical make-up, physical state, and potential to affect life on the surface of the Earth.

The crust, mantle, and core are the three layers that make up the earth. This stratum of the earth lies on the surface and is composed primarily of granite and basalt solid rock.

Oceanic and continental crust are the two different types. The majority of the oceanic crust is made of basalt and is denser and thinner.

The Earth's mantle is regarded as being semi-solid. Because the mantle is so heated, the rocky material can flow gently.

Thus, the correct option is D.

During which of the following processes would carbon most likely be required?
A. Breaking of rocks
B. Generation of electricity
C. Making of glucose
D. Running of cars
I think its C but when I looked the question up to check my answer, someone said they put C and got it wrong. I know we take fossil fuels out of the ground and burn them to create electricity or to make our cars run. and that burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide back into the air. And I know that carbon dioxide, water, and light make glucose.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Answers D

Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon from the atmosphere so that they can create glucose. During cellular respiration, living things give off carbon as a waste product. This gives the carbon back into the air.

The fertilization of ovules from Plant Q by pollen from Plant R results in the production of seeds. What percent of the genes in each offspring's chloroplasts will have been inherited from plant R?


A: 0%


B: 25%


C: 50%


D: 100%

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. 0%

Explanation:

The zygote formation or fertilization in flowering plants occurs by the fusion of pollen of one plant with the ovum of another plant of the same species normally. This process includes the exchange of an equal amount of the genetic contribution from both plants.

The egg cell of the mother is responsible for the mitochondria and chloroplast of the progeny so the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0% as ovum and egg cell comes from only plant Q.

percentage of chloroplast gene inherited from R plant is a)0%

In which stage of the cell cycle does the cell die
A) interphase
B) mitosis
C) apoptosis

Answers

The short answer is that cell death by apoptosis in various phases of cell cycle depends on the cell-type and inducer/stimulus. Hematopoietic cells can undergo apoptosis at all stages of cell cycle as noted by Bertrand. However, mesenchymal or epithelial cells usually undergo apoptosis at the G1/S or G2/M phase of the cell cycle.

Explain how the discoveries by Rosalind Franklin
helped Watson and Crick build an accurate
model of DNA.

Answers

Answer:

In 1951 Franklin joined the Biophysical Laboratory at King’s College, London, as a research fellow. There she applied X-ray diffraction methods to the study of DNA. When she began her research at King’s College, very little was known about the chemical makeup or structure of DNA. However, she soon discovered the density of DNA and, more importantly, established that the molecule existed in a helical conformation. Her work to make clearer X-ray patterns of DNA molecules laid the foundation for James Watson and Francis Crick to suggest in 1953 that the structure of DNA is a double-helix polymer, a spiral consisting of two DNA strands wound around each other.

Which of the following describes the mRNA molecule produced from transcription?
The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA and is transcribed in the parallel
direction
The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is identical to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.

Answers

Answer:

The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being  transcribed.

Explanation:

The process of the formation of RNA from DNA is called transcription.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to its DNA template as the enzyme, RNA polymerase matches the complementary bases to the original DNA strand and then initiates the process of RNA synthesis. Once the strand gets completed, the process got terminated.

Hence, the correct answer is "The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being  transcribed."

In humans, dimples (D) are dominant over no dimples (d). Curly hair (A) is dominant over

straight hair (a). Paul, who is heterozygous for dimples and curly hair, marries Jane, who

has curly hair but does not have dimples. Jane's mother had straight hair, but her father had

curly hair. Paul and Jane had a child named Peter, who had curly hair but did not have

dimples.

Answers

Answer:

1. ddaa

2. DdAa

3. One from each parent

4. False

5. 0.25

6. 0.25

7. 0.25

8. 0.5

Explanation:

The remaining part of the question is  

1. What is Jane's genotype?  

2. What is Paul’s genotype?  

3. Where did Jane get her gene for curly hair? From her mother or father?  

4. True or False: Jane's mother was heterozygous for curly hair?

5. What fraction of Paul and Jane's children should have curly hair and dimples?  

6. What fraction of their children would have straight hair and no dimples?  

7. What fraction should have dimples but not curly hair?  

8. What is the probability of getting any offspring with dimples

Solution

1. Genotype of Jane's mother -ddaa

2. Genotype of Paul (heterozygous for dimples and curly hair) – DdAa

3. One “a” gene from mother (whose genotype for hair was aa) and second “a”gene from father (whose genotype was  Aa)

4. False.  She was having straight hair

5. Offspring of  Paul and Jane  

DdAa (4), Ddaa (4), ddAa(4) and ddaa (4)

4 out of 16 offspring will have curly hair and dimples = 0.25

6. ddaa, 4/16 = 0.25

7. Ddaa , 4/16 = 0.25

8. Ddaa, DdAa, 8/16 = 0.5

using what have you learnt about the effect of concentration gradient and surface area to volume ratio, explain the adaptations of a leaf for photosynthesis ​

Answers

Answer:

Leaves have an increased surface area in order to increase light-harvesting and they are thin in order to increase the diffusion rate

Explanation:

Leaves have several adaptations to increase the photosynthesis rate. In the first place, leaves have a large surface area to increase light-harvesting and thus also increase photosynthetic energy conversion. Moreover, leaves are sufficiently thin to increase the gas exchange surface area, i.e., the entry of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the exit of oxygen from photosynthesis, which move by diffusion through stomata.
