The answer to this question is letter C) Each student read the meter stick from different angles.

The students might have been reading the meter stick facing each other. So when one reads the meter stick as 18, the other student will read the reverse image of the measurement. 18 and 82 can be easily mistaken when reversed.

How codominant inheritance patterns differ from dominant/recessive inheritance patterns
alekssr [168]
Its simple dominant and recessive inheritance patterns and organism would need two recessive alleles(rr) for the trait to be expressed but only one dominant allele for that trait to be expressed (RR or Rr) however in the case of co-dominant alleles the heterozygous state (Rr) would produce a third phenotype rather that the dominant phenotype.

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

162.8 K

Explanation:

initial current = io

final current, i = io/8

Let the potential difference is V.

coefficient of resistivity, α = 43 x 10^-3 /K

Let the resistance is R and the final resistance is Ro.

The resistance varies with temperature

R = Ro ( 1 + α ΔT)

V/i = V/io (1 + α ΔT )

8 = 1 + 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

7 = 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

ΔT = 162.8 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 162.8 K.

What would be the resulting charge of carbon (C) after this element loses four electrons?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Carbon will become positively charged.

The charge of Carbon will be +4.

Explanation:

The charge of Carbon will be +4.

In the periodic table, elements that give out  or lose electrons during electrochemical combinations are called electropositive elements. If carbon loses electrons during the chemical combination, Carbon will become positively charged, with a valency equal to the number of electrons that it lost.

This will make carbon have a charge of +4
