Why does putting your name on a health behavior contract indicate your commitment to the contract?

Because it is written. A popular tool used for motivation and commitment is the use of written contracts and often does not even need to be as lengthy as a contract. A slip of paper or even another writing surface has been shown to significantly increase the likelihood of committing to that action. 

There is also premeditation involved when signing a contract or writing on a piece of paper. An individual has read and recognized the written words and then signed it according to a commitment to that act. As such there is a significant amount of thought put into the over procedure, and thus increases again the likelihood of an individual to be committed to completing those actions.

Aside from all the factors of motivation, the signing demonstrates commitment to the contract because that is fairly universally understood to be the way in which people recognize and formally commit to contracts. Whatever the context of the action, whether signing papers to buy a house or for a new job, the signing of the contract is the commitment of the individuals involved to complete the requirements within the contract. Although in this instance the healthier behavior most directly affects the individual who signs the paper.

Which statement about how organisms depend on abiotic factors in an aquatic ecosystem is not true?
Nat2105 [25]
The answer is <span>a. most living organisms can survive in environments with several different temperature and salinity levels.

</span>Aquatic plants and animals depend on dissolved oxygen for respiration. The other abiotic factors that impact their life in an aquatic ecosystem are temperature, salinity, and flow and they determine the quality of their life. <u>It is not true that most living organisms can survive in environments with several different temperature and salinity levels.</u> On the contrary, a few species can live in <span>environments with several different temperature and salinity levels, for example, some bacteria. The most organism can survive in a specific range of abiotic factors.</span>

deff fn [24]
Well we have to say that It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate reactions.Have in mind that the simplified chemical reaction equation of photosynthesis is: <span>6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O<span>2. The problem is that this equation doesn't show the many other reactions involved in photosynthesis, including the the two important components, the light and dark cycle. I hope this is something very useful for you</span></span>

soldier1979 [14.2K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) n+1; n+1; n-1; n-1

B) n+1; n-1; n; n

C) n+1; n-1; n-1; n-1

D) n+1; n+1; n; n

Answer:

Option-1

Explanation:

The laws of inheritance were concluded from the result of Mendel's experiment which is based on the fact that gametes are formed. Later research suggested that gametes are formed by the process of meiosis which takes place in two phases and recombination is a characteristic of Meiosis.

If during anaphase I of meiosis I, the alleles fails to separate that is nondisjunction takes place at anaphase I, Then the resulting daughter cells will have unequal distribution of chromosomes.

One daughter cell will receive 1 extra copy of the chromosome while another daughter cell will receive 1 less chromosome therefore ploidy level will be n+1 and n-1.

During meiosis II, 2 more daughter cells will be formed with the same ploidy level therefore in last the meiosis will result in 2 (n+1) and 2 (n-1) cell.

Thus, Option-1 is the correct answer.
