Explanation:

The his impact theory or the big splash is one of the accepted theories of tge moon and it states that the moon or luna and explain the origin of the moon that a Mars sized object planetestimal collided with the the proto Earth and the ejecta debris joined together by gravitational force which is the moon and it's orbit the Earth.

Answer:

<u>Impact Theory</u>

Explanation:

"The Impact Theory has two advantages over other theories about the moon's origin. First, other theories cannot explain the differences in the composition of the earth and moon. . . If Earth and a Mars-sized object collided, their iron-rich cores most likely would have merged into the earth's core. The collision would eject dust primarily from the mantles of the two bodies. This would explain why the moon's composition is similar to the composition of Earth's mantle."

The co-formation theory is <u>not </u>supported by that discovery because its composition should have been the same. "Although the moon is similar in age to Earth, its composition is very different. Earth is 31% iron, with most of the iron contained in the earth's core. The moon is only 8-12% iron. This difference is hard to explain if the earth and moon formed from the same material."

Therefore, it is <u>not </u>the co-formation theory, it is the impact theory.

Mendel wanted to find out if the pattern of inheritance for one trait affected the pattern of inheritance for another.what exper
balu736 [363]
He used  Pea plants to help him find the laws of inheritance. He crossed homozygous (AA) tall plants with short (aa) plants and found that all of the off spring were tall, due to the fact that tall is dominant and short is recessive. He then conducted another experiment where all the offspring mated (all offspring were heterozygous (Aa)) And produced the F1 generation and 25 percent of the plants were short (use a punnet square to see why) and 75 percent were tall. 

I hope this response helped :) If u have anymore q about mendelian genetics pls lmk !
