Answer:

Option B and D are correct as the Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth’s atmosphere have been steadily increasing and other greenhouse gases amplify the effect of carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

As we all are aware that increasing rate of carbon dioxide is responsible for global warming. Scientists note that the average temperature on Earth is increasing over time. They believe that a contributing factor is the greenhouse effect.  

This effect is caused by the formation of greenhouse gases, such as methane, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. Increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is considered to be the cause of global warming and climate change. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone are main green house gases.

Carbon dioxide is steadily increasing in the atmosphere over hundreds of years and it has a longer life span than most of the gases.

Option B and C

<h3><u> Explanation:</u></h3>

Carbon dioxide is the most prominent greenhouse gas of atmosphere. It is very much responsible for increasing the temperature of Earth's surface by capturing the long wave infrared lights emitted by Earth's surface.

Due to industrial revolution, various natural calamities and huge increase in population over the last few centuries, amount of carbon dioxide is increasing in atmosphere significantly. And the half life of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is around 200 years which is much more than other significant greenhouse gases. This leads to the significant contribution of carbon dioxide to greenhouse effect.

How is muscle color related to muscle specialization?
kati45 [8]
<span>Muscle color is related to muscle specialization because it indicates whether muscles are used more for aerobic or anaerobic metabolism. Aerobically respiring muscles that do work over a long period of time have more red oxidative fibers, while anaerobically respiring muscles that do work in bursts have more white glycolitic fibers.</span>

If a homozygous black bull is mated with a homozygous white cow and the calf is gray, this could be an example of ___________. H
givi [52]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Co-dominance

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered the principles that governs heredity, in which one of them is that an allele called DOMINANT allele, is capable of masking the expression of its variant allele called RECESSIVE allele in a heterozygous state. However, there has been genetic scenarios contrary to this his LAW OF DOMINANCE.

One of those Non-mendelian pattern of inheritance is a phenomenon called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, where an allele does not mask the expression of another completely, instead their combined state produces a third intermediate phenotype that is different from both parents. This is the case of the homozygous black bull mated with a homozygous white cow to produce a grey calf. The grey phenotype is an intermediate phenotype of both the black and white colours that forms due to incomplete dominance.

Another genetic scenario is called CO-DOMINANCE, where one allele is neither dominant nor recessive to the other allele, but instead both phenotypes becomes simultaneously expressed in the heterozygous offspring. In this case, the black bull and white cow were mated to form a heterozygous calf with both black and white spots.
