Answer:
Surface Tension --> The tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles inthe surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area
High Specific Heat --> The amount of heat or energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree celsius
Explanation:
first one in the dictionary and the second one from reference.com
Phenotype - short , Tall
Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)
<u>Explanation:</u>
In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.
So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.
Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.
The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.
The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.
The genotype for short trait is tt.
Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.
Answer:
The nights are shorter.
Explanation:
Summer normally begins on June 21 and ends on September 20 in the northern hemisphere. This season is characterized by the higher temperatures of the year than sloping, and in which both animals and plants are more active. Summer is characterized by the days being longer than the nights.
Answer:
It occurs in organisms because an organism with a beneficial trait/mutation have a higher chnace of surviving compared to organisms that do not. So the organsims that do survive pass on their genes to the next generation, and the bext generation will pass on those genes to the generation after and so on. But all the organisms that do not possess a beneficial trait/mutations will not survive, therefore they cannot reproduce and pass on those genes to their offspring. This means that most of the population will posses that trait/mutation.
Example: Spotted moths camouflage with bark so they are seen by predators and eaten. Black moths are easily seen by predators and are eaten. Spotted moths then pass on their genes to the next generation of moths.
