Answer:

The correct answer is c a power plant burning coal and producing electricity.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics it can be stated that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.Energy can only be transformed.The total amount of energy of universe always remains constant.

     A powerplant burning coal and producing electricity best suits the first law of thermodynamics because here the heat energy is being converted into electric energy and no energy is lost during the transformation of energy.

Conditioned stimulus

Classical conditioning is a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus paired with previously neutral stimulus. This pairing will cause a response  that can be the same as the potent stimulus. This is done repeatedly for an organism to elicit a conditioned response to the previously neutral stimulus that was paired to the active stimulus. The dog salivates due to the idea that  food is related to the sound of the bell.

In gymnosperms, pollination can occur by _____.
gladu [14]
The wind makes pollination possible for gymnosperms. In gymnosperms ovaries are absent and the gametophytes of these plants are present on cones rather than flowers. Unlike angiosperms that get pollinated with animal interference, wind plays a crucial role in gymnosperm pollination.

Explain how a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA might cause a protein to malfunction
valkas [14]

Answer:

As a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), the amino acids also change in the final protein which leads to protein malfunction.

Explanation:

As a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), the amino acids also change in the final protein which leads to protein malfunction. If insulin does not work correctly, it may not be able to bind to the insulin receptor.

Rina8888 [55]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles?

a) Incomplete dominance

b) Genetic recombination

c) Chimerism

d) Codominance

Answer:

d) codominance

Explanation:

Codominance is a pattern of inheritance when none of the alleles of a gene is able to mask the expression of the other allele of the same gene. When the two alleles are present together in a heterozygous genotype, both are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from both the pure breeding parents. In the given example, cross-pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in the ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. This means that the heterozygote expresses both the allele for the corn color. Therefore, it represents codominance.
