The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected. In the Northern Hemisphere, wind and currents are deflected toward the right, in the Southern Hemisphere they are deflected to the left.

The coriolis effect influences the paths of surface-ocean currents by the rotation of the earth from west to east cases surface ocean currents to swerve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, helping establish the circular, clockwise pattern of water current. In southern Hemisphere it swerve to the left, thereby moving in a circular counterclockwise pattern.

Focus on the evolution of horn size in the Bighorn sheep population from 1950 to present. What would you predict would happen if

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e) "Over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency".

Explanation:

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is a species that is a very attractive for hunters because of its long horns. This negative human influence has make that bighorn sheep with long horns struggle to survive and reproduce. Horn size in bighorn sheep is determined primarly by a gene called HRN, which has two alleles H1 (for long horns) and H2 (for smaller horns). if hunting were discontinued for bighorn sheep in a large population we can predict that over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency, because in this population bighorn sheep with long horns will have better chances of surviving.

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane.

netineya [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is a back-pressure that opposes filtration. As the filtrate is forced into the capsular space, it meets 2 forms of resistance: the wall of the capsule and the fluid that has already filled the renal tubule.

This pressure drives fluid out of the capillary (i.e., filtration), and is highest at the arteriolar end of the capillary and lowest at the venular end.
