Answer:
4. a
5. a
6. a
7. a
8. a
9. a
10. True
Explanation:
4. Units of inheritance in living organisms are known as genes. These genes exist in pairs in all organisms and a copy of each gene is passed down to the offspring during reproduction.
Correct option: a
5. Assuming the dominance of allele A over allele a:
AA x aa
Aa Aa Aa Aa
All the offspring will appear tall since the effects of allele a is masked by allele A.
Correct option: a
6. From the cross in (5) above, the genotypic ratio of the offspring is 100% Aa.
Correct option: a
7. Alternate forms of genes in living organisms are known as alleles. A copy of the alleles is usually passed down to the offspring during the process of reproduction.
Correct option: a
8. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of organisms. They are physical interpretation of genes.
Correct option: a
9. The law of segregation was postulated by Gregor Mendel. It states that gene pairs segregate during the process of meiosis and then randomly unite during the process of fertilization.
Correct option: a
10 Heterozygous organisms have two different alleles for the same genes. For genes that obey Mendelian laws, heterozygous condition is characterized by one dominant and one recessive alleles.
This is what is commonly know as 'peat'. Peat is found in peatlands, bogs, mires and moors, and is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. The decay is slowed down by a lack of oxygen due to waterlogged conditions. These areas are very important carbon sinks as the CO2 released by the decaying matter is trapped within the peat. It requires thousands of years for peatland to develop. Peatlands are very important as they provide a record of past vegetation and climate within the preserved plant remains.
Degradation means the wearing down of or slow lowering to a weaker position.
A) A metal forms a + charged ion, so D2+
B) A nonmetal forms a - charged ion, so A-
C) C2-
D) B+
These bones are expanded into broad, flat plates, as in the cranium (skull), the ilium (pelvis), sternum and the rib cage. The flat bones are: the occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal, lacrimal, vomer, hip bone (coxal bone), sternum, ribs, and scapulae. ... In an adult, most red blood cells are formed in flat bones.
