Answer: b. birds have beak adapted to break open hard shells.
Birds in the rain forests are adapted to perform different functions. It helps birds to capture their food, groom their features, defend their territories and attack predators. The shape of the beak defines a particular ecological niche of a particular bird. The shape of the beak are specially adapted to eat foods such as seeds, fruits, insects. The beaks becomes hard and pointed in order to break open pods, seeds, fruits available as food source in rain forests. Therefore, adaptation in beak allows birds to feed different types of food and allows them to switch to different sources of food if one source becomes scare in the rain forests.
Answer:
C. On average, 25% of the children are affected by the autosomal recessive disease if both parents are carriers.
Explanation:
A recessive trait is always expressed in homozygous genotype only. To have progeny with recessive traits from two normal parents, both the parents should be heterozygous carriers. For example, two normal parents with genotype "Aa" have 25% of the chances to have a child with homozygous recessive genotype (Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA: 1/2 Aa: 1/4 aa).
An autosomal trait is equally expressed in both males and females. Inbreeding increases the homozygosity and thereby, increases the risk of expression of recessive traits which are otherwise masked in heterozygous genotype.
Answer:
1000 times.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the pH is defined by:
![pH=-log([H^+])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%28%5BH%5E%2B%5D%29)
If we want to compute the concentration of hydrogen we must write:
![[H^+]=10^{-pH}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D10%5E%7B-pH%7D)
Thus, for both the backyard soils we compute:
![[H^+]_{pH=7}=10^{-7}=1x10^{-7}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D_%7BpH%3D7%7D%3D10%5E%7B-7%7D%3D1x10%5E%7B-7%7DM)
![[H^+]_{pH=4}=10^{-4}=1x10^{-4}M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D_%7BpH%3D4%7D%3D10%5E%7B-4%7D%3D1x10%5E%7B-4%7DM)
It means that:
![\frac{[H^+]_{pH=4}}{[H^+]_{pH=7}} =\frac{1x10^{-4}M}{1x10^{-7}M}\\ \\\frac{[H^+]_{pH=4}}{[H^+]_{pH=7}}=1000](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D_%7BpH%3D4%7D%7D%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D_%7BpH%3D7%7D%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1x10%5E%7B-4%7DM%7D%7B1x10%5E%7B-7%7DM%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D_%7BpH%3D4%7D%7D%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D_%7BpH%3D7%7D%7D%3D1000)
It means that the concentration of hydrogen at a pH of 4 is 1000 times greater than the concentration of hydrogen at a pH of 7.
Regards.
