Answer:

The hill models gravity as a driving force in the water cycle.

Explanation:

Gravity (the gravitational force that pulls objects towards the centre of the Earth) drives the water cycle.

Gravity is responsible for precipitation (rain, hail, sleet, and snow) falling downwards towards the Earth's surface. It is also responsible for water at higher points on the Earth's surface flowing downwards to the lower points on the Earth's surface.

In Carlos' model, the hill represents a higher point on the Earth's surface while the valley represents a lower point on the Earth's surface. The river, flowing downwards from Carlos' hill to Carlos' valley, demonstrates the role of gravity as the driving force of the water cycle.

You perform the following dihybrid cross: A blaBx Ab/aB. The A and B genes control different traits. What phenotypic ratio would
Luda [366]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

In the given question the genotype of parental allele is- AbaB X AbaB. The alleles formed will be- AB, Ab,aB, ab in which the crossover allele will be AB and ab.

1. Unlinked genes

Now of these alleles are unlinked then the alleles will assort independently of each other therefore performing the punnett square we will get dihybrid ratio as 9:3:3:1 in which  

1. A_B_ are 9

2. aaB_ are 3

3. A_bb are-3

4. aabb- 1

Since the crossover allele are AB and ab therefore A_B_ are 9 and aabb- 1 represent recombinant genotype.

2. Linked genes

When the genes will be linked then chances of crossing over will be reduced as a result of which only two type of allele will be formed which are-  Ab and aB and the recombinant frequency will become less.

Crossing these allele will  form Aabb , AaBb , AaBb  and aaBB  genotypes. The recombinant ratio will decrease as A_B_ is 2 and aabb is not present.

Thus, option-4 which states that the unlinked ration is  9:3:3:1  and linked ratio is  <9: >3: >3: <1 is correct.

After researching the possible effects of music, Elaina proposes that if people listen to faster-paced music, their pulse rates
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Constant variables

Explanation:

Elaina's investigation lacked the critical ingredient of constant variables which are important components of every scientific investigation. In every research, there are 3 important variables, namely:

1. Dependent variables: the actual variable to be measured during the course of investigations and whose values are dependent on another variable (independent variable) supplied by the investigators.

2. Independent variable: one of the variables that are supplied by investigators whose values are often manipulated to see the kind of changes it will cause to the dependent variable.

3. Constant variables: other variables that are neither independent nor dependent but constant for all the various experimental groups in investigations.

Why zooplankton is essential to life on the planet
son4ous [18]

Answer:

zooplankton feed on phytoplankton, the main producers of the ocean, that provide a strong link for every marine food chain. without these consumers, there would be very little methods for energy to be distributed through the oceans ecosystem and life would diminish within the ocean.
