Answer: Spreading limestone on crop fields to neutralize acidic soils.

Minerals are necessary for the growth of plants growing in an agricultural field. Plants obtain minerals from the soil. Minerals like potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen are required by the plants for their growth. Also, minerals are added to the soil of the agricultural field to maintain the pH of soil, which is desirable for specific crop growth. Limestone is a mineral useful for maintaining the pH of soil. It's primary component is calcium carbonate. It is basic in nature. It is added up to the soil to increase it's pH, with it's use soil acidity is reduced and alkalinity is increased. Therefore, it nutralize the acidic soil and makes it suitable for plant growth.

A wire-hair terrier and a smooth-hair terrier are mated. The offspring produced are 6 wire-hair puppies and 2 smooth-hair puppie
Leto [7]

Let’s assume a wire-hair terrier is a true breed for wire hair with alleles (BB) and a smooth-hair terrier is true breed for smooth hair (bb). Allele B is dominant over its allele b. When these two terrier mated and produce offspring wire-hair terrier and smooth-hair terrier in the ratio 3:1.

Based on this result it can be inferred that –

a. The pattern of inheritance is monohybrid cross.

b.Genotype of wire-hair terrier (1BB and 2 Bb) and genotype of smooth-hair terrier is (bb)

c. Phenotype ratio will be 3:1 and genotypic ratio will be 1:2:1.

Information coming from each eye goes to the opposite-side thalamus, where _____ receive and help process signals from sensory n
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Information coming from each eye goes to the opposite-side thalamus, where "inter neurons" receive and help process signals from sensory neurons and shuttle the data to the visual cortex.

Explanation:

Interneurons are the fundamental nodes of neural circuits, allowing message transfer among sensory or motor neurons and the central nervous system (CNS). They show dynamic characters in reflexes, neuronal oscillations, and neurogenesis in the grown-up mammalian brain. Interneurons (also recognized as association neurons) are neurons that are found exclusively in the central nervous system. That means that they are found in the brain and spinal cord and not in the peripheral segments of the nervous system.
