If a rock disintegrates by chemical weathering into small grains of similar composition, would this be considered reproduction?

Not really. The similar composition is still different from the chemical weathering, making it not really a reproduction

Answer:

The disintegration of rock by chemical weathering into small grains is not considered as reproduction.

Explanation:

Reproduction may be defined as the biological process of production of an offspring. Two main type of reproduction is asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

The breakdown of rock into small particles is not considered reproduction because this is a chemical process not a biological process. The living cells are not involved in the chemical weathering of rock. The small grains will not reproduce and divide to form the next generation offspring.

Thus, the process of chemical weathering is not considered as reproduction process.

There are 100 cats in a population that follows hardy-weinberg conditions. 4 cats display a recessive white coat color. how many
mr Goodwill [35]

We know that Hardy-Weinberg conditions include the following equations:


p^{2}+2pq+ q^{2}=1


where p+q=1


And where p = dominant, and q = recessive; this means that p^{2} is equal to the homozygous dominant, 2pq is the heterozygous, and q^{2} is the homozygous recessive .


So we have 100 total cats, with 4 having the recessive white coat color. That means we have a ratio of \frac{4}{100} or 0.04. Let that equal our q^{2} value.


So when we solve for q, we get:


q^{2}=0.04

q=\sqrt{0.04} =0.2


Now that we have our q value, we can use the other equation to find p:


p+q=1


p+0.2=1


p=0.8


So then we can solve for our heterozygous population:


2pq=2(0.8)(0.2)=0.32


This is the ratio of the population. So we then multiply this number by 100 to get the number of cats that are heterozygous:


0.32*100=32cats


So now we know that there are 32 heterozygous cats in the population.

Analyze and evaluate the formation of organic carbon molecules in c4 plants.
Setler [38]

In C4 plants, photosynthesis is compartmentalized into two; light-dependent stage and  light independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. Here, CO2 is fixed into oxaloacetate by PEP carboxylase enzyme. The oxaloacetate is then converted to malate that is then transported to bundle-sheath cells (around the leaf veins). The CO2 is then released from the malate and the gas molecule is subsequently fixed by RuBiSCO like in C3 plants. The biggest advantage of C4 photosytheis is that the wasteful process of photorespiration is greatly reduced.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The electron microscope

Explanation:

<u>The microscope that would be best suited to study the inner structure of the chloroplast would be the electron microscope.</u>

<em>The electron microscope has a high magnifying property due to the fact that it uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination, unlike the light microscope that uses visible light. While the light microscope might be enough to see the inner portion and the organelles of the cell, the tiny nature of the inner structure of the chloroplast means that the light microscope will not be able to view the details. A more powerful microscope like the electron microscope would be required.</em>
