Biology

Oxana [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1- Option (B)

2- Option (D)

3- Option (A)

Explanation:

1) The continental drift theory was introduced by Alfred Wegener, which described the large scale movement of the continents over the vast ocean water body. He provided many evidences of which one is that the similar type of fossil assemblages were found in the distant continents.

2) In a divergent plate boundary, two plates move away from one another, and results in the formation of new oceanic crust, along the mid oceanic ridges and seafloor spreading takes place extensively.

3) In a convection cell, the hot and less dense materials rises up slowly, and as it rises upward it cools, and eventually sinks, giving rise to the formation of cells. For example, in the mantle region of the earth, the less dense magma rises upward, more dense magma sinks, forming convection cells.

Thus, the correct answers are given above.

The F2 generation phenotypes resulting from the monohybrid cross of purebreds display a ratio of _____.
ki77a [65]
In the sentence "The F2 generation phenotypes resulting from the monohybrid cross of purebreds display a ratio of _____" the word that correctly completes the sentence is 3:1. In the monohybrid cross of purebreds, F1 generation will consist of heterozygotes with dominant phenotype. When F1 generation cross, the F2 generation phenotypes will be as following: 3 dominant phenotypes (1 dominant homozygote and 2 heterozygotes) and 1 recessive phenotype (1 recessive homozygote).

Explain five important things that can be determined by studying fossils.
Naddik [55]
Studying fossils allowed researchers to learn about organisms that lived long ago. The fossils provide as evolutionary evidence that shows how organisms in our present time have evolved over time and which common ancestors they are tied to. Fossils also provide information about climate change depending on the region and location they are found in. Fossils also date back to millenias ago, so fossils dated very far back in the past can help researchers infer that life had existed even farther than what they might have discovered. And finally, by studying fossils, you can determine how the organism may have died.

Los métodos hormonales son eficientes porque: * A: impiden la entrada de los espermatozoides C: Se inhibe (no se desarrolla) la
timofeeve [1]

Answer: C: Se inhibe (no se desarrolla) la ovulación.

Explanation:

Los métodos anticonceptivos se utilizan prevenir el embarazo no deseado, evitando que el esperma fertilice a un óvulo. Hay distintos tipos, los cuales se clasifican en:

  • Anticonceptivos hormonales: Contienen hormonas, tales como estrógeno y progesterona, que previenen la ovulación (es decir, la liberación de óvulos de los ovarios). De esta manera, al no haber óvulo disponible, por mas que hayan espermatozoides, no va a ocurrir ninguna fecundación. El método mas conocido es la píldora o pastilla anticonceptiva.
  • Anticonceptivos de barrera: Proveen una barrera física que impide la fecundación al impedir el encuentro entre el óvulo y el espermatozoide. Por ejemplo, el uso de preservativos o condones. En estos métodos, se impide la entrada de los espermatozoides, no se encuentran con el óvulo y la esperma queda atrapada dentro del condón.
  • Anticonceptivos permanentes: Proveen un método permanente como  por ejemplo el Dispositivo Intrauterino que se coloca en el tracto uterino con una vida media de meses o años y posee un efecto espermicida que mata a los espermatozoides (por lo que no lograrán encontrar un óvulo). Otro ejemplo es la vasectomía, la cual es una cirugía que corta los conductos deferentes que transportan a los espermatozoides por lo que ya no pueden salir de los testículos para producir la fecundación (quedan atrapados dentro de los testículos, no entran al tracto uterino y no encuentran al óvulo)

Tanto los métodos de barrera como los permanentes, no inhiben la ovulación aunque si impiden que el óvulo se encuentre con el espermatozoide. <u>Entonces, los métodos hormonales son los únicos que logran inhibir la ovulación</u>. Las píldoras que poseen las hormonas previamente mencionadas pero fabricadas sintéticamente. Las mismas mimetizan el efecto de las hormonas naturales producidas por el cuerpo, alterando el ciclo menstrual regular y así evitan el embarazo ya que no habrá óvulo disponible para fecundar. Además, también pueden alterarla mucosidad en el cuello del útero para que los espermatozoides no pueden atravesarlo y llegar al óvulo. De todas maneras, el objetivo principal y mas importante de los métodos hormonales es bloquear la ovulación.

Diana is moving into a new apartment. She wants to get a heavy chair up to her second-floor apartment, but it will only fit thro
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Diane will have to travel a farther distance to move the chair.</em>

Explanation:

To slide the chair up an inclined path, Diana would have to travel a further distance. While using the ladder to reach the second floor window would have made the distance smaller, but more force would have been required to move the chair through climbing a ladder. Diane would have got easily exhausted for moving the chair across the ladder. Using the inclined path will make the distance farther but as much force would not be required in this process. Hence, the method of using an incline is better.
