The right answer is D. none of above.

Light can be defined as a wave and also as packets of energy: particles called photons. The energy increases when the frequency increases that is to say that one goes towards the ultraviolet (UV).

The sun emits its maximum wavelengths between 0.3μm and 25μm.

The atmosphere, the oceans and the surface of the continents absorb solar radiation (short wavelengths: 0.2 to 4 micrometers). This has the effect of increasing their temperature. But any body brought to a certain temperature emits radiations in turn. The wavelength of these radiations depends on the temperature of the emitting surface. Thus, the Earth emits infrared radiation to space; it represents a loss of energy for the Earth.

On earth 70-85% of the radiation is absorbed, 15-30% is reflected. and the energy that has been absorbed is emitted as infrared rays.

How can interactions between alleles genes and the environment affect an organism's traits?
Nataly_w [17]
Genes code for proteins. That way they determine biological structures and functions. Besides genes, the environment has the great impact on the structure of an organism. Alleles and genes will give a trait, but the environment can affect it. For example, alleles that are responsible for height will give a person some average height. But if the person begins to train basketball at the early age (during growth), the person will overcome the average height. This is the effect of the environment and not genes. The other example is that if a person lives in a sunny region, the person will be tan.

You are an oxygen molecule floating in the air near a rabbit about to pass into its nasal passageways. Tell the story of your ad
miskamm [114]
During cellular respiration, electrons are produced. The oxygen molecule accepts these electrons, then combines them with protons to make water. This outputs ATP, which is what the rabbit uses for energy. At the end of the process, carbon dioxide is released. From here, the carbon dioxide travels to one of the rabbit's favorite plants. This helps plants breathe. Sunlight penetrates the leaves of the plant, which are generating into sugar molecules within the chloroplast. The substance is known as chlorophyll. Electrons make the chemical process go more quickly. At the end, the plant releases oxygen back to the rabbit.

If the characteristic is eye color, what could be two different phenotypes?
Feliz [49]
The phenotype is just a characteristic/trait. 

For instance Brown and Green are phenotypes of eye color. 

This can also be used in Punnet Squares, and could be displayed as B and G. 
B equaling dominant Brown, and G = dominant Green, vice versa to g and b where they are recessive.
