Answer:

C. It was a compromise between big and small states so that states with a larger population cannot control presidential elections

Explanation:

Durign its earlier creation, small states believed that there is no point for them to be uniting under one federal government. This perception was created because they typically have lower population compared to the bigger states.

Meaning that if smaller states and bigger states conduct a vote to elect a government that rule all of them, smaller states will always lose if the result is determined by simple majority.

As a compromise, electoral college was created.  Rather than basing the total number of votes based on the number of population, The election in the electoral college is based on  the amount of people that each state has within the The Senate and House of Representatives.

This provide an opportunity for smaller states to over the big states during the general election.

Why is it impossible from an individual to inherit a recessive condition if only one parent is a carrier for that condition
Jobisdone [24]
I added a picture of a badly-drawn cross as an example to help me explain. Let's say h is the recessive allele, in this case, that would cause a recessive condition. The heterozygous Hh parent is the carrier and they are being crossed with a homozygous dominant HH parent.

As you can see, all of the children are either homozygous dominants HH or heterozygous carriers Hh. None of the children can be homozygous recessive hh because there is not a recessive allele h to inherit from the other parent. Because H is dominant over h, the recessive condition won't be displayed.

Answer:

The correct answer is option 1. a stimulus in the presence of which a response will be reinforced

Explanation:

We call discriminative stimuli to those stimuli that indicate the probability that a given response is reinforced. The presence of a discriminative stimulus makes the appearance of the responses that have been reinforced in their presence more likely.

It's a neutral stimulus that indicates when the response may or may not lead to the desired consequence. That is, the discriminative stimulus indicates whether the enhancer is available.
