Can someone please explain what gives air its weight?

maks197457 [2]

Simple. Air has mass. And if air has mass it also has weight. You can feel air when the wind blows. Or do an experiment. Weigh an empty container. Then pump it to a vacuum. Weigh it again. The difference is the weight of the air inside.

How are retroviruses different in their reproduction

gogolik [260]

What is different with retroviruses in reproduction is that they do not kill their hosts at first because they can still insert their own genome. This process is what is known the reverse transcription. This is done by different proteins.

Sharks have existed on Earth for centuries, even thousands of years with very little change to their structure. Why do you think

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Sharks, in their basal form have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. They were the first to develop a stream-like, torpedo shaped body and created a niche for themselves. Their aerodynamic body shape has evolved to allow for efficient and dynamic movement in water. Having a cartilage instead of bones allowed them to grow large and still be relatively light and buoyant . After they've evolved flexible, protruding jaws, there wasn't much to change. They were able to adapt and exploit all the water habitats as the world was changing.

In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true-breeding. If plants with blue

Zolol [24]

Answer:

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve
colors may be true-breeding
the cross of blue-flowered plants with red-flowered plants, produce plants that have yellow flowers
F2 generation: 9/16 yellow, 3/16 blue, 3/16 red, and 1/16 mauve.

Knowing that the phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1, we can assume that there are two genes involved in the flower color expression. We can name these genes B and R with a dominant and a recessive allele each (B, b and R, r respectively).

According to the first cross, we might establish the following genotypes:

1st Cross: blue-flowered plant x red-flowered plant

Parentals) BBrr x bbRR

Gametes) Br, Br, Br, Br bR, bR, bR, bR

F1) 100% BbRr, yellow plants

Parentals) BbRr x BbRr

Gametes) BR, Br, bR, br

BR, Br, bR, br

Punnett square) BR Br bR br

BR BBRR BBRr BbRR BbRr

Br BBRr BBrr BbRr Bbrr

bR BbRR BbRr bbRR bbRr

br BbRr Bbrr bbRr bbrr

F2) 9/16 yellow ---> 1/16 BBRR + 2/16 BBRr + 4/16 BbRr + 2/16 BbRR

3/16 blue ------> 1/16 BBrr + 2/16 Bbrr

3/16 red---------> 1/16 bbRR + 2/16 bbRr

1/16 mauve ----> 1/16 bbrr

So,

Yellow-flowered plants: BBRR, BBRr, BbRR, BbRr
Red-flowered plants: bbRR, bbRr
Blue-flowered plants: BBrr, Bbrr
Mauve-flowered plants: bbrr

According to these genotypes, the second cross would be like following,

2nd Cross: true-breeding red-flowered plants with true-breeding mauve flowered plants.

Parentals) bbRR x bbrr

Phenotype) Red Mauve

Gametes) bR, bR, bR, bR br, br, br, br

Punnett square) bR bR bR bR

br bbRr bbRr bbRr bbRr

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.
