A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

Vesna [10]

Austin who was securely attached in Mary Ainsworth's theory of mother-infant attachment likely showed confidence in his caregiver's ability to protect him.

Options to this question were not provided. However, it is worthy to note that Mary Ainsworth's theory of mother-infant attachment classifies the relationship that children have with their caregivers as; Secure, Resistant, and Avoidant.

The Securely attached children are distressed when their mother is absent, they avoid strangers when their mother is not around but become friendly to strangers when their mothers are present.

They are also happy when their mother is around.

Generally, these sorts of children are confident and exhibit high self-esteem. So, Austin must have displayed some of these qualities.

You want to determine whether short wings in fruit flies are the result of a dominant or recessive mutation. You cross a short-w
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a dominant mutation

Explanation:

A monohybrid testcross is a cross-breeding experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homo-zygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular phenotypic trait (in this case, wing length). In a monohybrid testcross, a 1:1 phenotypic ratio shows that the dominant parental phenotype was a heterozygote for a single gene that has complete dominance. Moreover, a 3:1 ratio in the F2 is expected of a cross between heterozygous F1 individuals, which means that 75% of individuals with short wings have the dominant allele that masks the expression of the long-wing trait (i.e. the recessive allele).
