No, the earth’s axis is tilted. This is why we have seasons that are opposites between the north and South Pole.

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

The earth rotates around an imaginary axis, which is known as the rotational axis and is tilted at an angle of 23.5°.

On the other hand, the plane of the orbit of the earth is usually defined as a plane which comprises the earth's orbital plane.

This axis of earth's rotation and the orbital plane of the earth are not parallel to each other. They are oriented at some angles to one another. Due to this tilt of the earth and orbital plane, there occur seasons on earth such as the summer, autumn, winter, and spring.

Thus, they are not parallel to each other.

Explain in your own words why simple cells in V1 give larger responses when the bars are parallel to the axis of elongation than
abruzzese [7]

Answer: This is as a result of it covering more on the center part of the cell unlike when it is perpendicular.

Explanation: This is as a result of it covering more on the center part of the cell unlike when it is perpendicular. Cells in the primary visual cortex tends to responds to a particular direction of light. There are distinct inhibitory and excitatory regions and when the bar of light is moved over the cell you hear the firing rate (noise) which depends on the direction the light moves in. When the bar of light is set at an angle or perpendicular, the inhibitory receptive field is illuminated which slows the firing rate. when the bar of light is perpendicular, it leads to both the inhibitory and excitatory regions being illuminated which can sometimes result in their firing potentials canceling out each other, which can lead to no response in firing.

A student drew the diagram below to model the process of binary fission, which is a type of asexual reproduction.
Leno4ka [110]
The answer would be: <span>Binary fission involves a single parent cell, so there is only one set of genetic information that can be duplicated and passed on to the daughter cells.

If you see the picture, it is clear that there is only 1 parent involved in binary fission. This will exclude the first and third option. 
The genetic duplicated before splitting, so the cells should have an equal number of parent genetic material, not halves. This will exclude the second option.

If you need to prevent waves from eroding a beach, what would you do
Zielflug [23.3K]
Waves erode a beach by pressing continually against them, right? I have heard of this happening many times. What the people do is build a small trench around the outside of the beach so the waves filter down into it, then back out instead of washing up against the sand. The other thing they do is wait a couple years for the beach to go down, then they put in new sand during the winter.
