Answer: C. The C horizon is very deep.

Horizons are the layers of soil develops as a result of soil formation. Horizon lies parallel to the earth surface. Each horizon differs from the other on the basis of amount or organic matter present, color of the soil, texture of soil and other components making up horizon, and amount and type of minerals present in the soil.

C horizon is the horizon that lies deeper region of the collective soil horizon. It consist of unweathered or partially weathered rocks or their aggregates. Therefore, it retains the original chemical composition of the parent rock. This results in the higher mineral content as compared to other horizons. This horizon also lacks the organic matter as no or very little decomposition activity of plant and animal matter takes place. Therefore, color of soil in this horizon in the absence of organic matter remains light.

Hence, a sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar is because of the fact that the C horizon is very deep.

What does the process of diffusion do for the cell
dybincka [34]

Diffusion is important to the cell because it is the process by which useful molecules enter the cell and waste products removed from the cell.

Without diffusion, cells and tissues of the body can not get important nutrients and gases for survival and would die.

An example is the eye. The eyes lack a great  number of blood vessels (which carry oxygen that diffuses into cells) and must have an extra supply of oxygen. The atmosphere provides the extra needed oxygen which is taken up into the cells of the eye by diffusing through the cornea and thus the eye is kept functioning. If this does not happen , the eye would dry out.

swat32

Assuming you mean to type:

 

"In humans, the allele for dimples (D) is dominant to the allele for no dimples (d). at another gene locus, the allele for broad eyebrows (B) is dominant to the allele for broad eyebrows (b)."

 

Man: Heterozygous for both genes means DdBb

Woman: no dimples, and heterozygous for slender eye-brows means ddBb

 

Punnett Square

 

         DB       Db         dB        db

dB   DdBB   DdBb    ddBB    ddBb

dB   DdBB   DdBb    ddBB    ddBb

db    DdBb    Ddbb    ddBb    ddbb   

db    DdBb    Ddbb    ddBb    ddbb   

 

Interpretation: anywhere that has a capital letter has the dominant trait.

Dimples+Broad eyebrows : 6 cases out of 16  (3/8=37.5%)

Dimples+slender eyebrows: 2 cases out of 16  (1/8=12.5%)

No dimples+Broad eyebrows: 6 cases out of 16 (3/8=37.5%)

No dimples+slender eyebrows: 2 cases out of 16 (1/8=12.5%)
