Based on your observations, which way does earth rotate—from east to west, or west to east? Explain your answer.

1 answer:

6 0

Based on my observations, the earth rotates from west to east about the axis of rotation. The counter-clockwise rotation of the earth is as viewed from the North Pole star Polaris.

My observations supporting the counter-clockwise rotation of the earth are:

The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

All celestial objects including the stars and the moon rise in the east and set in the west.

The rotation is the result of the strong geomagnetic field of the earth. It is also responsible for the formation of day and night on the planet.

You cross purple-flowered and white-flowered pea plants, and all offspring are purple. how come? select one:

Vaselesa [24]

To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.

Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.

We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.

P P
p| Pp Pp

p | Pp Pp

As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.

Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.

Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.

Consider that a certain gene is a maternal effect gene and that the allele for dark brown pigment is incompletely dominant to th

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

BB - Dark brown color - (1/4)

Bb - light tan (due to incomplete dominance) - (2/4 or 1/2)

bb - white color - (1/4)

Explanation:

Let the allele for dark brown pigment be represented by "B"

And the let allele for white (no pigment) be represented by "b"

Due to incomplete dominance, the phenotype of heterozygous species would be "light tan"

Genotype of heterozygous female - Bb

Genotype of heterozygous male - Bb

Bb * Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

BB - Dark brown color - (1/4)

Bb - light tan (due to incomplete dominance) - (2/4 or 1/2)

bb - white color - (1/4)

The registered nurse is overseeing a nursing student who is providing a dressing change to a patient who had a cesarean section.

natulia [17]

The nurse conducting wound care should choose a dressing that keeps the periwound skin dry and the surgical wound bed moist to contribute healing. The dressing used for wound care should control exudate from the wound, but it should not desiccate the wound bed. There must be a pressure in application while cleaning the periwound and wound may deepend the wound bed. Using sterile normal saline and a sterile gauze to clean the surgical wound reduces the incidences of infection.
