What are tectonic plates and how do they work?

1 answer:

7 0

Plate tectonics is the study of movement of the Earth's plates, called tectonic plates. A tectonic plate is a huge, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock. They are commonly composed of continental and oceanic lithosphere. Weather, as well as others, cause tectonic plates to slide, this causes a slight shake, volcanoes or earthquakes.

The two are potassium and rubidium. Why? Na is an alkali metal. As you go down the metals become more reactive.
Calcium has 20 protons. Why? The atomic # is 20 (the one at the top).
It has 20 neutrons. Why? The atomic mass (the number on the bottom) is ~40, ignoring electron mass. 40- 20 protons = 20 neutrons.
It has 20 electrons.
Why? The # of protons and electrons is the same. Ions aren't on the periodic table.

Compare and contrast the ways of life of crustaceans and arachnids and explain how their body forms are adapted to their environ

Ede4ka [16]

Insects are found in almost all ecosystems on Earth, with the rarity being oceans. While some species, such as coconut crabs, sand hoppers, woodlice and pill bugs dwell on land, crustaceans are generally found in water â€” and usually oceanic â€” regions. Adapting to their habitat, many insect species evolved wings â€” two pairs for most and one pair for others. A tracheal system is also present for breathing. Crustaceans, on the other hand, breathe using gill-like mechanisms.

In one type of plant, orange petals (O) are dominant over yellow petals (o) and tall stems (T) are dominant over short stems (t)

vodka [1.7K]

Answer No 1:

The set up of the punnet square is shown in the attached diagram. As the alleles assort independently hence the gametes formed will be OT,Ot,OT,Ot and OT,Ot,oT,ot. These will be the outcomes of the possible gametes formed. When these gametes are cross bred, the results are shown in the diagram attached.

Answer No 2:

The outcomes of each possible genotype are:

OOTT = 2/16

OOTt = 4/16

OOtt = 2/16

Oott = 2/16

OoTT = 2/16

OoTt = 4/16

Answer No 3:

The likelihood of each possible offspring phenotype is:

Orange petals with tall stem and orange petals with small stems present in ratio 12:4 i.e. 3:1.

The Offspring produced by a cross between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C. A

ratelena [41]

Complete question:

The offspring produced between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes, denoted by A, B and C. A theoretical model of gene inheritance suggests that the offspring of types A, B and C should be in a 1:2:1 ratio (meaning 25% A, 50% B, and 25% C). For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded in the table below.

Genotype Observed frequency

A → 18 individuals

B → 55 individuals

C → 27 individuals

Do these contradict the genetic model?

Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Determine the chi-square test statistic.

Answer:

Do these contradict the genetic model? No, according to the chi-square test, there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of the population being in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Available data:

Crossed genotypes: two
Genotypes among the offspring; Three → A, B, and C
Expected phenotypic ratio → 1:2:1
Total number of individuals, N = 100
A = 18 individuals
B = 55 individuals
C = 27 individuals

So, let us first state the hypothesis:

H₀= the population is equilibrium for this locus → F(A) = 25%, F(B) = 50%, F(C) = 25%
H₁ = the population is not in equilibrium

Now, let us calculate the number of expected individuals, according to their expected ratio.

4 -------------- 100% -------------100 individuals

1 --------------- 25% -------------X = 25 individuals A

2 -------------- 50% -------------X = 50 individuals B

1----------------- 25%--------------X = 25 individuals C

A B C

Observed 18 55 27
Expected 25 50 25
(Obs-Exp)²/Exp 1.96 0.5 0.16

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

A) (18 - 25)²/25 = 49/25 = 1.96

B) (55 - 50)² / 50 = 25/50 = 0.5

C) (27 - 25)²/25 = 4/25 = 0.16

Chi square = X² = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

∑ is the sum of the terms
O are the Observed individuals: 2 in chamber B, and 18 in chamber A.
E are the Expected individuals: 10 in each chamber

X² = ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = 1.96 + 0.5 + 0.16 = 2.62

Freedom degrees = 2

Significance level, 5% = 0.05

Table value/Critical value = 5.99

X² < Critical value

2.62 < 5.99

These results suggest that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We can assume that the locus under study in this population is in equilibrium H-W.
