Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.
An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:
There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.
Answer:
4 possible combinations of gametes
Explanation:
The animal is considered an heterozygotic dihybrid because it involves two genes that have different alleles for both genes. The dihybrid animal undergoes meiosis to produce gametes. According to Mendel in his laws of segregation and independent assortment, the alleles of the two genes separate into gametes independently of one another to produce 4 types of gametes.
Number of possible combinations of gametes formed by an heterozygote can be determined by using 2^n, where n is the number of characters. Number of characters or genes involved in this case is 2, Hence, 2^2 = 4 gametes.
The allelic combination in the four gametes are: AB, Ab, aB, ab.
Answer:cell wall

Answer:
Group 1 - Alkali metals; Group 4 - Elemental Properties
Explanation:
The elements in Group 1 are called Alkali metals and those are: Lithium, Potassium, Rubidium, Celsium, Francium and Sodium and the elements in Group 4 are called: Titanium, Hafnium, Zirconium and Rutherfoundium.
It's important that group 4 has no trivial name like the group 1 does, it belongs to the grouping of <em>transition metals </em>and those metals have several general properties. They are found in the middle of the periodic table.
