The correct answer is 2. Runoff will decrease as infiltration increases

Explanation:

Runoff refers to the flow of water over the surface that occurs due to the soil being saturated or surfaces that do not allow infiltration such as pavement. On the other hand, infiltration occurs as water soaks into soil or it is absorbed by it.

This means in the case presented, once the water reaches an area of unsaturated soil, it is expected infiltration increases because this soil different from solid bedrock absorbs water. At the same time, runoff or water flowing without being absorbed will decrease as water will soak into the soil due to infiltration. Thus, in this case, the runoff will decrease as infiltration increases.

1 because there’s more absorption meaning less water to runoff

What are the phases of meiosis where crossing over occur
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Prophase 1

Explanation:

Prophase I :It can be divided into five stages:

1)Leplotene: In this stage, chromosome becomes visible and shorten as a single structure.

2)Zygotene: Homologous / sister chromosome pair up. This process is known as synapse. Synapse is the process of attachment of homologous /sister chromosome. One pair comes from the male parent while the other comes from the female parent.

3)Pachytene: Bivalents shorten.

4)Diplotene:Point of attachment of non-sister chromatids. The two chromosomes are seen to be joined at several points along their length. These points are known as Chiasmata.(Chiasmata, a cross). The paternal gene A, B, C may swap for the maternal gene a, b, c for instance, leading to a new gene combination in the resulting chromatids. This is referred to as *CROSSING OVER*.

5)Diakenesis: Homologous centromere move apart.

So, crossing over occurs in *Prophase 1.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Substrate-level phosphorylation, which is a process of forming ATP by the physical addition of a phosphate group to ADP can take place in the cytoplasm during glycolysis or inside the mitochondrial matrix during the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Substrate-level phosphorylation is a metabolic reaction that results in the formation of ATP or GTP by the direct transfer of a phosphoryl (PO3) group to ADP or GDP from another phosphorylated compound.
