At least three seismograph stations are needed to locate the epicenter of a earthquake.

Further Explanation:

An earthquake occurs when two region of the earth slip past each other. Fault plane is the area where the slip occurs. Hypocenter is the region below the earth’s surface where earthquake starts while the epicenter is the region above it.

The earth consists of four major layer:

1. Inner core

2. Outer core

3. Mantle

4. Crust

Seismographs is an instrument used to record the earthquake. The recording done by this instrument is called as the seismograms.

The seismograph comprises of:

1. A base: is fixed tightly in the ground

2. Heavy weight: hangs freely

When the earthquake occurs, the ground shakes and in turn the seismograph also shakes while the hanging weight does not shakes. During the earthquake, the difference in the location between the shaking piece and the motionless piece is recorded. Magnitude of the earthquake is recorded as one for each earthquake. The magnitude of earthquake is measured by the Richter scale but is more commonly measured through moment magnitude scale.

I'm unsure if these are correct.

1. Heart problems

2. They believe nothing should be left to chance because they have the technology to make a prefect human... at least that's what they believed. They though naturally born humans were flawed so they don't get the same perks in life as a genetically modified human. (I'm not really sure if this is true or not)

3. Because children in the movie are genetically engineered, meaning, they only take the best traits on their DNA to make children. (I don't know if this one is correct either)

4. Not sure for this one

5. His cells tell the truth about who he is - you can't lie about your cells - that he is invalid

6. Because children in the movie are genetically engineered, meaning, they only take the best traits on their DNA to make children (Not sure if it's correct)

7. He has a job and can date. Since he has a genetic disorder he couldn't do either if he would not had impersonated the other guy whose DNA was perfect but he was wheelchair bound due to injury.

8. He furiously and meticulously washes his skin and picks up all of his hairs from the shower and cleans he keyboard and desk every single day.

9. The doctor did, but he didn't tell anyone because his son was born naturally, and he therefore naturally respected Jerome. He said at the end, "Nobody pees with their left hand." So yes, he knew all along.

10. Because he was getting paid for it.

I'm really really sorry if it took too long. I searched for a long time looking for answers and I'm so sorry if they aren't right. I'm trying my best, lol.

Answer:

1. Asexual Reproduction (If there is only one organism reproducing)

2. Selective Breeding

Explanation:

1. If there is only one parent organism that means the offspring it is a carbon copy of its parent.

2. Selective breeding is breeding to bring out more desirable traits out of the species, like how dog breeders breed for better sense of smell or hearing.

Given the parents AABBCc × AabbCc, assume simple dominance for each trait and independent assortment. What proportion of the pro

galina1969 [7]

The answer is C) 3/4

Let's analyze separately each of the traits:

Parental generation: AA x Aa
F1 generation: AA AA Aa Aa
So, all progeny will phenotypically resemble the first parent.

Parental generation: BB x bb
F1 generation: Bb Bb Bb Bb
So, all progeny will phenotypically resemble the first parent.

Parental generation: Cc x Cc
F1 generation: CC Cc Cc cc
Only 3 (CC, Cc, Cc) out of 4 progeny will phenotypically resemble the first parent.

The genotypes for first two traits will not affect phenotypical resemblance to the first parent. So, it only counts the third trait, for which the chance to have progeny that phenotypically resemble the first parent is 3/4.
