the answer is actually A. chemical weathering by oxidation .
chemical weathering works on rocks that contain iron. These rocks turn to rust in a process called oxidation. Rust is a compound created by the interaction of oxygen and iron in the presence of water.
While mitosis produces 2 daughter cells from each parent cell, meiosis results in 4 sex cells, or gametes in males and 1 in females. Unlike the cells created by mitosis, gametes are not identical to the parent cells. In males, meiosis is referred to as spermatogenesis because sperm cells are produced.
Answer:
B. The membrane lets certain substances move across it freely, while others must move through a “gate”.
Explanation:
Selective permeability is a property of cellular membranes that only allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell. This is important for the cell to maintain its internal order irrespective of the changes to the environment. For example, water, ions, glucose and carbon dioxide may need to be imported or exported from the cell depending on its metabolic activity. Similarly, signaling molecules may need to enter the cell and proteins may need to be released into the extracellular matrix. The presence of a selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to exercise control over the quantum, timing and rate of movement of these molecules.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Genotype is the genetic composition of organisms and a gene is made up of two alleles.</em>
a) Since the allele for black is B, <u>the genotype for black chickens would be BB. </u>
b) Since the allele for white is W, <u>the genotype for white chickens would be WW.</u>
c) Since erminette color is heterozygous,<u> the genotype would be BW.</u>
d) Two erminette were crossed:
BW x BW
BB BW BW WW
i. <em>Probability of having black chick (BB) </em>= 1/4
ii. <em>Probability of having a white chick (WW)</em> = 1/4
iii. <em>Probability of having erminette chicken (BW)</em> = 1/2
