Answer: d. C (parent rock)

Soil horizons are the layers lying parallel to the surface or subsurface layers of soil. These horizons are formed in the process of soil horizon. These sequence of soil horizons is collectively called as soil profile.

The layer or soil horizon, which is least likely to be penetrated by plant roots is C horizon. The C horizon is a layer of soil, which consists of huge aggregates of parent rocks, which are unweathered or partially weathered, lying deep in the bottom of the soil profile. It does not contain organic matter. Also, the texture of the soil is not fine, instead hard rocks are present. Therefore, this layer of soil cannot be penetrated by plant roots.

What is the difference between directional selection and disruptive selection
morpeh [17]
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live". 
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."

Which of the following statements is generally true of aneuploidies in newborns? a. An aneuploidy resulting in the deletion of a
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

d. Monosomy X is the only viable monosomy known to occur in humans.

Explanation:

Human have 22 pair of homologous chromosomoses and an extra pair of sex chromosomes. While in males  the sex  chromosomes  are X and  Y , females have two chromosomes X . Anyway, in normal conditions the total number of chromosomomes that humans have in their cells is 46 (23 pair of chromosomes).  

Aneuploidy is a biological condition where an individual have an abnormal number of chromosomes in their cells.  In humans for examples, this would be a human having more or less than 46 chromosomes.

The Turner syndrome also called  monosomy X is an aneuploidy  where  one of the X chromosomes is missing in a female.  Although under constant supervision, people with Turner syndrome have viable healthy lives. However this is the only monosomy that occur in humans that is compatible with life.

How do you think the Law of Universal Gravitation State connects why apples fall down and planets circle in orbit?
Leviafan [203]
Apples are drawn to a massive object, like the earth, and fall down under a gravitational constant. On the other hand, planets revolve around a more massive object under the same premise. It’s the same idea, just one follows a linear path, and the other has a uniform circular motion path because other forces are acting on it. In other words, the planets ARE still falling, but the sun is also pulled by them so they just keep dancing.
