Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

When a Mercury in a glass thermometer is put on flames the Glass bulb because of high coefficient of expansion expands and the mercury inside it descends( appears to descend). As soon as the heated reaches mercury its expands faster than the glass and hence its level rises in the glass( α for mercury is greater than α for glass , α here is coefficient of thermal expansion)

Mercury expands when heat comes into contact with it. at first, the thermometer touches the flame and gains heat, expanding. hence, more space inside the thermometer. the mercury has more space, so descends. finally, the heat passes through the glass after a while, as glass is a poor conductor of heat. the mercury gains heat and expands, rising.
hope this helps!

A girl playing tug-of-war with her dog pulls the dog a distance of 8.0m by exerting a force at an angle of 18° with the horizont
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25 N

Explanation:

Work is a product of force and perpendicular distance moved.

W=Fd where F is force exerted and d is perpendicular distance.

However, for this case, the distance is inclined hence resolving it to perpendicular so that it be along x-axis we have distance as dcos\theta

Therefore, W=Fdcos\theta

Making F the subject of the formula then

F=\frac {W}{dcos\theta} where \theta is the angle of inclination. Substituting 190 J for W then 18 degrees for \theta and 8 m for d then

F=\frac {190}{8cos18^{\circ}}\approx 25N

Assortative mating changes ______ frequencies but does not change ______ frequencies.
andrew-mc [135]

Allele frequencies are unaffected by assortative mating, but genotype frequencies .

<h3>Assortative mating: </h3>

Individuals with similar phenotypes and genotypes mate with others more frequently than is anticipated under a random mating pattern in assortative mating, which is a mating pattern and a type of sexual selection.

<h3>Frequencies of genotypes:</h3>

A population's genotype frequency is calculated by dividing the number of people having a particular genotype by the overall population size. The genotype frequency in population genetics is the frequency or ratio (i.e., 0 f 1) among genotypes inside a population.

<h3>The frequency for alleles in biology:</h3>

The term "allele frequency" describes the prevalence of an allele in a population. It is calculated by calculating the number of times the allele occurs in the population and dividing by the sum of all the gene copies.
