C) a system is a set of parts that function together as a whole
Answer:
Nitrogen cycle
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted by either a natural or an industrial means to a form of nitrogen such as ammonia. In nature, most nitrogen is harvested from the atmosphere by microorganisms to form ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates that can be used by plants.
Dominance involves one allele masking another at the same locus whereas epistasis involves one locus masking a different locus.
Explanation:
Epistasis is a type of gene interaction in which one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene at a distinct locus.
Dominance refers to the gene interaction in which one allele of a given gene masks the expression of another alllele of same gene.
The comparison of dominance and epistasis give the following information:
- Dominance involves allelic suppression while epistasis involves non-allelic suppression.
- Dominance involves a single pair of alleles while epistasis involves two pairs of allele.
- In dominance, the expression of recessive allele is suppressed while in epistasis, either recessive or dominant non allele is suppressed.
- The effect of dominance is due to the dominant allele while epistasis may be due to dominant or recessive allele.
Sedimentary rocks form when sediments come together and forms the rocks, while metamorphic rock are those formed when sedimentary and igneous rocks compress under great heat and pressure.
