Q5.

<span>The answer is A. In thermodynamics, the first law of conservation states that energy can never be destroyed or created but can only be transformed from one form to another. Therefore part of the electric energy was converted to light energy while the other dissipated as heat. However, the summation of the energy of these tow outputs in joules remains the same as initial electric energy.

Q6

<span>The answer is B. This is because the water in the dam is used to turn turbines hence this form of energy is mechanical energy. As the turbines turn, they turn electromagnets that convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy</span>

Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>2. Peter's maternal grandfather has PKU.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of the genetic disorder in which two copies of a gene must be mutated at a time is called autosomal recessive disorder such as sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, and some other diseases.
  • When a sing copy of a gene is mutated in a person then this disorder is not appeared and the person is called a carrier.
  •  So when a child is born by two carrier parents then there is a chance that a child will be affected if both the parents donate mutated genes.
  • In the case of Peter, since peter does not show this defect this means his maternal grandfather was affected by this disorder.

How can scientists learn about the mantle if they cannot study it directly?
Mice21 [21]
So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake.

Explain the idea of genetic drift. How does natural selection effect genetic drift.
Anettt [7]

Genetic drift is defined as a shift in the allelic frequency of a population. This can be caused by natural selection which is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals across a population due to differences in phenotype. Natural selection favors particular traits in a population hence these individuals are able to reproduce while the individuals with disadvantageous traits will pass their genes to succeeding generations. This way the allelic frequency of succeeding generation will be diferent from that of the parent population.
