Soil is a complex mixture of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms that are the decaying remains of once

-living things.
Soil covers the ground and is an important ingredient for plant growth. However, soil must be formed. The picture shows the soil formation process.

Which statement best describes the process of soil formation?

A) Rain gets into cracks in rocks. When the rain freezes, ice forms. Rocks begin to erode and decay. These processes provide organic and mineral matter for soil.
B) Rain gets into cracks in rocks. When the rain freezes, it fills the cracks with ice. The water dissolves the minerals in the rock, releasing them into the soil.
C) Rain gets into cracks in rocks. When the rain freezes, the cracks expand. The ice preserves dead organic materials. These processes release minerals into the soil.
D) Rain gets into cracks in rocks. When the rain freezes, the cracks expand. The rock begins to break down by the process of weathering, releasing minerals into the soil. Small plants and microorganisms also loosen the rock and when decayed, provide organic material.

When you were testing the ciliospinal reflex and only stimulated the left side of the subject, was the response reflex contralat
natulia [17]

Options: A. contralateral

B. ipsilateral

C. both

Answer:B. ipsilateral

Explanation:The ciliospinal reflex which is also known bas pupillary-skin reflex is usually made uo of the dilation of the ipsilateral pupil this dilation is in response to pain applied to the neck, face, and upper trunk.

If you stimulate the left side of the subject, the response will be only in the ipsilateral which means the stimulation will be felt in the same side of the subject which in this case is the Left side if the subject.

If two orange heliodors have a child, what is the probability their child would be red?
Stels [109]

Answer:

25% or 1/4

Explanation:

The gene for colour in Heliodors is controlled by two contrasting alleles that codes for Red (R) and Yellow (Y) colours. However, these two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, which is a phenomenon whereby a combination of both alleles gives rise to a third intermediate phenotype that is a blending of the other two parental phenotypes. In this case, both colours gives rise to a heterozygous Orange coloration (RY) in Heliodors.

However, if two orange Heliodors (RY) are crossed, four possible offsprings will be produced with the genotypes: RR, RY, RY, YY. This shows a phenotypic ratio of 1 red: 2orange: 1yellow. Hence, the probability of having a child with red coloration is 1 out of 4 possible offsprings i.e. 1/4.

Expressing this in percentage, we have 1/4 × 100 = 25%.

A molecule that has regions of partial positive and partial negative charge
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

A) polar

Explanation:

Polar molecules contains  partial positive and partial negative charge as in all polar molecules two atoms have unequal sharing electron. Due to unequal sharing of electrons, one atom that attracts valence electrons strongly gains positive charge and other gain negative charge.

For example water, water is a polar molecule having partial negative and partial positive charge because the oxygen atom in water attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the correct answer is "A) polar".
