1 answer:

6 0

1. weathering reduces solid rocks to smaller and smaller particles and erosion is the removal and movement of rocks/debris. so u could say that weathering breaks rocks down and erosion takes it away

2. water, wind, gravity

3. vegetation reinforces soil through growing over the loose soil to prevent erosion

1. - loss of fertile land and increased sedimentation in rivers

2. deforestation, agriculture, human induced climate change

Pea seed color exists as green or yellow. We might say that "yellow" is an example of a (an)_ for seed color

LiRa [457]

Answer:

b. allele

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a gene. In this problem, there is one gene (that determines seed color) with two possible alleles (green and yellow).

The other options are wrong because:

The genotype is the combination of alleles an individual has.

The karyotype is an individual's collection of chromosomes, paired and ordered.

A homozygote individual has the same alleles for a particular gene.

A heterozygote individual has different alleles for a particular gene.

From an evolutionary perspective, what adaptive value do mirror neurons have?

Akimi4 [234]

Mirror neurons are said to be the factors behind social imitation. Neurons are the main cell of the nervous system which is responsible for communication of organs and control of many bodily functions. In an evolutionary standpoint, mirror neurons are an advantage because humans are able to replicate and imitate skills, behaviors and practices which they find beneficial and advantageous in the wild. Among their social peers, mirror neurons help these individuals practice social inclusion through culture, values and practices for increased group cohesion and cooperation.

A newly developed pesticide has been observed to bind to an intracellular hormone receptor. If ingested, residue from this pesti

Degger [83]

Answer:

Thyroid hormones

Explanation:

Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, interference with the thyroid hormone receptor, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.

Explain how the data supports your hypothesis.

Viktor [21]

Answer: It is verified by testing it. If the data supports the hypothesis, then we consider the hypothesis to be verified and true. If however, the data does not support the hypothesis or refutes it, then the hypothesis is in trouble, and we have to come up with a different hypothesis to explain the observations.
