Which of the following best describes the solar radiation absorbed by and radiated from earth?

Biology
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: c. The Earth’s surface is responsible for a small fraction of heat radiation to space.

Explanation:

In later ages the large amount of sun's energy is reflected back by the terrestrial surface back to the space. But now due to the abundance of large concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is responsible for the absorption of thermal energy from sunlight by these gases causing the atmosphere to be hot. This is the reason of global warming. Now only small fraction of heat is radiated back to the space.

The mutation rate is the probability of a single gene mutating in an offspring bug.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A mutation is any alteration in the genetic sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations in the germline (i.e., gametes) can pass to the next generation, thereby these mutations can increase their frequency in the population if they are beneficial or 'adaptive' for the organism in the environment in which the organism lives (in this case, an insect/bug). The mutation rate can be defined as the probability of mutations in a single gene/<em>locus</em>/organism over time. Mutation rates are highly variable and they depend on the organism/cell that suffers the mutation (e.g., prokaryotic cells are more prone to suffer mutations compared to eukaryotic cells), type of mutations (e.g., point mutations, fragment deletions, etc), type of genetic sequence (e.g., mitochondrial DNA sequences are more prone to suffer mutations compared to nuclear DNA), type of cell (multicellular organisms), stage of development, etc. Thus, the mutation rate is the frequency by which a genetic sequence changes from the wild-type to a 'mutant' variant, which is often indicated as the number of mutations <em>per</em> round of replication, <em>per</em> gamete, <em>per</em> cell division, etc. In a single gene sequence, the mutation rate can be estimated as the number of <em>de novo</em> mutations per nucleotide <em>per</em> generation. For example, in humans, the mutation rate ranges from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ <em>per </em>gene <em>per</em> generation.

Science! Simple. 8th grade.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms.

Solids: their molecules are close to each other.They can't change their shape nor they can does it expand to fill the entire available volume like gas.

Liquid: A liquid is an incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of the container in which it is stored. It's molecules are not too close to each other.

Gas: Most gases cannot be seen but are present in the atmosphere.Their particles are far from each other.Gas is described by pressure, volume, temperature and number of particles

Regarding the "East Side Story" hypothesis, what would paleoanthropologists need to show that it was false?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Evidence of fossil apes and hominids in both East and West of the great rift valley

Explanation:

<em>The East Side Story hypothesis opined that a tectonic plate movement created a seismic split in the earth, thus deepened the rift valley and created a geographical barrier between the east and the west of the great rift valley. The barrier created a kind of geographical isolation between the ancestors of hominids, dividing them into two with each population taking different evolutionary paths. </em>

<em>Thereafter, the ancestors in the western side of the rift valley evolved into the chimpanzee's family while those in the eastern side ultimately evolved into humans. </em>

<u>Thus, providing the fossils of apes and that of hominids in both East and West sides of the great rift valley will render the hypothesis invalid.</u>
