I observe that squirrels that live in the southeastern United States are much thinner than squirrels that live in the northeaste

rn part of the country. I theorize that this is because the squirrels that live in the northeast have greater fat reserves for the winter months when food is scarce. Is this a scientific theory?

Answer:

No, it is not a scientific theory.

Explanation:

  • A scientific theory is a proposition that is made to explain the various phenomena that are occurring in nature and it is supported by experiments that have repeatability and well-analyzed results.
  • Scientific theories are usually tested in experiments under controlled conditions and verified as well.
  • In the given situation, the theory made by the observer is not being tested through any experimentation or quantification and therefore, it is just a hypothesis and not a scientific theory.

Which statement BEST characterizes the general relationship between air pressure and elevation?
Ad libitum [116K]

Both have an inverse relationship.


Explanation:

The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

This is due to the amount of air on top of you at your current elevation.

At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.

At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.


At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.


OK, :)

-Dominant- [34]
Since after crossing a red and a white flower produced pink flowers, the red color trait shows an incomplete dominance and has a genotype of Rr.
Using the Punnett to determine the cross between pink and white flowers:
   |   R   |   r   |
r  |  Rr  |   rr   |
r  |  Rr  |   rr   |

The results indicate that the cross between pink and white flowers will produce a ratio of 1:1

Rr x rr
