<em><u>Air is less dense on a mountain top than at sea level.  </u></em>

<em><u>More force pushes on the air at the bottom of an air column.  </u></em>

<em><u>As you descend a mountain, air molecules are closer together. </u></em>

Answer: Option A, D & E

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air pressure means the effect of gravitational force acting on the surface area. Density is the measurement on the arrangement of the molecules. Altitude is the height above sea level. Air pressure decrease with altitude.

The altitude always determines the air pressure and density. As we get above the sea level the air is less dense lacking Oxygen. At higher altitude the air molecules spread more. Due to earth’s gravity the air is pushed towards the bottom of an air column.

"Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely
lyudmila [28]

Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"

A) complete dominance

B) incomplete dominance

C) codominance

D) epistasis

E) incomplete penetrance

Answer:

B) incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.

For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".

KIM [24]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) cerebral cortex.

B) basal nuclei.

C) sensory pathways.

D) motor pathways.

E) All of the answers are correct.

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex processes and filters its information before passing the most relevant aspects to other regions of the brain. Some of these brain regions, in turn, send information back to the cortex. These loops, known as 'feedback systems', are considered essential for the functioning of cortical networks and their adaptation to new sensory information. Neural circuits must first assess the importance of incoming sensory information and then refine how it is processed in the future. Positive feedback, triggered with the purpose of amplifying the response to the initial stimulus, can be compared to a chain reaction or a vicious circle. Few are the functions regulated by this mechanism; rather it is triggered in pathological situations. It is the system by means of which the organism very rarely regulates any of the bodily functions under normal conditions, making the initial stimulus to be maintained and even increased. This type of mechanism is predominantly present in pathological situations: Its constitutive elements are: stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, integrating center, efferent pathway, effector and response. The response does not have the ability to satisfy the initial stimulus.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

A) Sedimentary

B) Weathering

Explanation:

A sedimentary soil/rock is formed when carrying agents such as wind or water carries rock pieces or soils particles from faraway places and deposit them at one place through a process known as lithification. However, increased pressure and temperature causes weathering of rocks. Changing temperature causes a rock to expand or cool alternatively thereby giving rise of internal stresses. While exfoliation is caused on increasing pressure.
