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

A heterozygous tall pea plant is allowed to self-fertilize. The resulting F1 progeny are 25% homozygous tall, 50% heterozygous t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

25% heterozygous tall

Explanation:

If we take the F1 generation as parents and let them self-fertilise, we have 4 crosses.

The first one for homozygous tall, then we have 100% AA.

The second and third one for heterozygous tall and we have 25% AA, 50%Aa and 25%aa for each of them.

The last one would be for dwarf, and we'll have 100%aa.

Adding all of them, we'll have

AA = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

Aa =  50+50 = 100%

aa = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

as we had 4 crosses, so dividing the total percentages by 4, we'll have,

AA = 37.5%

Aa = 25%

aa = 37.5%

:. The percentage of heterozygous tall would be 25%.

Hope it helps:)

How does the experiment relate to what you've learned about submersible technology suck as submarines and ROV's?
Len [333]

Answer:

A submersible technology designed to operate the  submarines underwater.

Explanation:

We have learned about submersible technology suck as submarines and ROV's is that pumping system is used to remove water from the submarines and ROV's in order to make it lighter. A submersible is designed to push water to the surface. When a pressure switch is turned on, the impeller started to spin drawing water into the pump. The water is then pushed through the pump and brought it to the surface. Due to removal of water, the submarines and ROV's become lighter and they will come to the surface of water.
