The amount of gravitational pull helps determine the gases that can form an atmosphere around a large body in space. So the mass of an object also determines the density of these gases. Note that several factors come into effect for a large object to sustain their gases if present.

Mainly, the mass of a planet doesn't matter, considering many planets are made up of gas, and how in different situations, atmospheres can be destroyed (The Sun burnt off Mercury's Atmosphere). However, in some cases, the planet can be in a good situation on the galaxic map, and have great conditions for an atmosphere, such as Earth. In which case, the mass of an object can attract a smaller object, causing gravity. Therefore, the bigger the mass of a planet when in right and specific conditions, the more atmosphere it can attract, if there is any floating by the planet.
If it is bigger it will have more gravitational influence and therefore gather more gases

Budding cells formed by saccharomyces are
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Budding cells formed by the Saccharomyces are through "Cytokinensis"

Explanation:

Cytokinensis helps the budding cells of the Saccharomyces to get splitted over two new cells. These buds raise, throughout its cell cycle and afterwards leaves its mother cell while mitosis been completed. Budding of the yeast makes up an perfect model for the creature to study the meiosis. Diploid yeast can be prepared by making it undergo through meiosis in absence of nitrogen which will lead to the generation of an ascus along with 4 haploid cells. Due to this the property of the meiotic products can also be studied.

What are the possible phenotypes of chicken offspring if one parent has black feathers ( FB ) and one parent has white feathers
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

None. Chickens have feathers not fur.

Now to color. The male usually determines color so without that information it is hard to answer with any authority.

In most crosses if the male is black and the hen is white you will get some black chicks and all will have white/black

variations.

If the male is white and the hen is black you will get some all

white with others showing black and white.

If the breed is Leghorn, even if the rooster is black you will

get mostly white chicks with some throwbacks in red and buff.

A population that is decreasing in size will have an age-structure histogram shaped like a(n): 1) inverted pyramid, with a narro
lawyer [7]

The correct answer is - 1) inverted pyramid, with a narrow base representing a small number of young individuals.

The populations that are decreasing are usually population in countries that are highly developed. The conditions for living are excellent, the medical care on high level, life expectancy very high, but the birth rates very low.

In this type of conditions, there's smaller and smaller number of young individuals, with the middle aged population being much bigger, and the older population being constantly on the rise. This will give the age-structure histogram a reverse shape than what it is supposed to have, it will be similar in appearance like a inverted pyramid, meaning that the population is aging and that it will be constantly on a decline in the future.
