What is the dark, organic-rich material that develops when the decay of plant material is slowed by the of lack of oxygen under

waterlogged conditions?

This is what is commonly know as 'peat'.  Peat is found in peatlands, bogs, mires and moors, and is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. The decay is slowed down by a lack of oxygen due to waterlogged conditions. These areas are very important carbon sinks as the CO2 released by the decaying matter is trapped within the peat. It requires thousands of years for peatland to develop. Peatlands are very important as they provide a record of past vegetation and climate within the preserved plant remains.

Why do all models have limitations
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: All models have limitations because they are not representative of every possible scenario. They use current knowledge and scientific data, but as those are subject to change, the models based off that knowledge and data are subject to change as well.

Explanation: Brainliest please, if I helped you! :)

<h3>What is the Hox genes and evolution?</h3>

Hox proteins are a family of transcription factors that have undergone extensive conservation. They were first identified in Drosophila for their crucial functions in regulating segmental identity along the antero-posterior (AP) axis.

The regionalization of the AP axis and changes in the expression patterns of these genes have been strongly correlated during the past 30 years across a wide range of evolutionarily distinct species, indicating that Hox genes have been essential in the evolution of new body plans within Bilateria.

Despite this extensive functional conservation and the significance of these genes for AP patterning, many important concerns about Hox biology remain.

What is the answer with explaining
pychu [463]

Answer:

All EeWw (100%)

Explanation:

This question involves two genes; one coding for earlobes and the other for hairline. According to the question, one parent is homzygous recessive for earlobe but homzygous dominant for hairline i.e. (eeWW) while the other parent is homzygous dominant for earlobe but homzygous recessive for hairline i.e. (EEww).

The cross between the two parents is as follows: eeWW × EEww. The following gamete combination will be produced by each parent:

eeWW - eW, eW, eW, eW

EEww - Ew, Ew, Ew, Ew

Using this gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will likely be produced:

All EeWw
