Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

Brown mice disappear from the mouse population for two generations and then reappear in the third generation. Give two possible
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The trait is inherited in the homozygous recessive pattern

Possible mating is between two heterozygous individuals

Explanation:

One possible explanation for this is that the trait for this brown mice has to inherited in the homozygous recessive condition. It is possible for this trait to skip two generations and then reappear if it has to be inherited in the homozygous recessive condition.

Another explanation to complement the first is that for this trait to reappear, there was mating between two heterozygous individuals (with one allele being domiant and the other being recessive). It is possible that all matings within the two skipped generations was between an heterozygous and a homozygous dominant or between two homozygous dominant individuals which will not produce the brown mice..

azamat

"Gravitational attraction" is initially responsible for the formation of the clumps of matter within this interstellar cloud.

<u>Answer:</u> Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

About 4.6 billion years ago, the solar systems were a bunch of gases and dusts, referred to solar nebula. Gravity squeezed the material as it started to rotate, creating the sun at the middle of the fog.

The rest of the material began to accumulate with the sunrise. The smaller particles moved together to form larger particles that were connected by gravity. As lumps develop, gravity increases and turns into kinetic energy of moving particles that collide and produce heat.
