Answer:

b) and c both are same answer- Because the ground is nearly saturated with water the vibrations can cause the ground to experience soil liquefaction.

Explanation:

Soil liquefaction is the process in which the soil will loose its strength and stiffness due to the effect of applied stress which might be caused by earthquake or change in stress condition.

Due to his process, soil in solid state will be like a liquid fluid and will be unable to support the buildings and structures.

In soft, sandy soil saturated with water the chances of soil liquification is very high due to vibration of earthquake.

The answer is; saturated soil turns into liquid that can't support buildings

Soil liquefaction occurs mainly in soils saturated, or partially saturated, with water such as in wetlands. During an earthquake, the waves pass through the soil and make it behave like a wave in a fluid. This causes the soil to loosen temporarily and become weak. The foundation of buildings in the soil fail and the structures collapse.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Given that the F2 cross produces offspring according to the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio.

YyRr X YyRr:

Let us break the dihybrid cross into individual monohybrid crosses.

Yy X Yy :

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

2/4 or 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Similarly, in Rr X Rr cross, 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Together, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits.
