Answer:
Viruses are often considered non-living because outside of a living cell, they do not exhibit the characteristics of living organisms: they are basically like crystals. But within a living organism, they become activated and are able to carry out life's activities like replication (a form of reproduction).
Answer:
Chemical weathering
Explanation:
Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.
Chemical weathering involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions between minerals such as calcite with water and gases in the atmosphere (e.g. carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide). The solution of soluble minerals is particularly important in limestone landscapes.
Solutional caves or karst caves are the most frequently occurring caves. Such caves form in rock that is soluble; most occur in limestone, but they can also form in other rocks including chalk, dolomite, marble, salt, and gypsum.
Essentially, water reacts with carbon-dioxide to form carbonic acid. It then seeps slowly through the roof of the cave, depositing calcium carbonate, which hardens and builds up over time to form a stalactite.
Answer: There re two different types of phenotypes in the offsprings that is Round yellow and Round green.
Explanation-
As per the Mendelian inheritance, Round shape and yellow color of pea are dominant over wrinkled shape and green color of pea.
According to the question, genotypes of parents are- RrYy ( heterzygous for round and yellow) and RRYy ( homozygous for round and heterozygous for yellow).
The first parent can produce four different gametes that is RY, Ry, rY, ry whereas the second parent will produce only two types of gametes that is RY and Ry.
When they are crossed, they will produce two different phenotypes in the offsprings.
