Answer:

2. fossil fuels are abundant in many places

Explanation:

They are those fuels that originate in sedimentary rocks formed by animal and vegetable remains that take millions of years to hundreds of meters of the earth's surface.

Advantages of fossil fuels

-Petroleum:

High calorific value (good performance)

Regular source of energy

A wide variety of products can be obtained from petroleum

-Coal:

Large amount of energy

It can be consumed at the same extraction site

Transportation costs are saved

-Natural gas:

Natural gas has a competitive price.

It has several operational advantages over other fuels.

Its combustion is much cleaner than that of other fuels, which facilitates compliance with demanding environmental standards.

Given the cleanliness of its combustion, it allows to explore markets that were previously difficult to enter due to environmental restrictions.

All these fossil fuels have the advantage that they are widely available in many parts of the planet

A frog that is dominant for its light green color mates with a brown frog and produces one small brown frog. How is this possibl

horsena [70]

Answer:

The dominant (light green) parent was heterozygote for the trait

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel in his law of dominance, an allele is said to be DOMINANT if it masks the phenotypic expression of another allele in a gene. The allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. In this case of a frog whose allele for light green color is dominant over the allele for brown color, the light green color allele (G) is dominant while the brown color allele (g) is recessive.

However, in a cross between that have light green frog and a brown frog, a small brown frog is produced. This is possible despite the green color being dominant because the genotype of the light green dominant parent is HETEROZYGOUS i.e. it contains both light green (dominant) allele and brown (recessive) allele.

Hence, when a gamete with recessive allele (g) is produced by the heterozygous light green frog (Gg), it mates with a recessive allele from the brown frog (gg) to produce a brown offspring (gg).
