Arrange the events in the correct order to describe how the magnetic field forms around Earth.
horsena [70]
The correct sequence of events is : C,D,B,A.
Iron rich magma in the earth's core heats up because of radiation and the pressure exerted by the other layers of the earth. This heat in the crust trigger convection currents in the mantle. The magma closest to the core will be hotter and therefore less dense than other layers. Being less dense the layer will rise towards the crust, eventually becoming cooler and sinking back down in a circular motion.
The continued circular motion creates electric currents which then generates the magnetic field.

Several students were having a discussion about the role of chromosomes in inheriting traits.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Chromosomes are the structures found in the nucleus of a cell. They are made from DNA, containing hereditary information in the form of genes that control how an organism will look and behave.  

Chromosomes come in homologous pairs (one from each parent) that each contain thousands of genes, determining traits expressed in the offspring.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are the structures found in the nucleus of a cell. They are made from DNA, containing hereditary information in the form of genes that control how an organism will look and behave.  - this is true. Prior to cell division, DNA molecules are organized into large structures called chromosomes. Specific regions of a DNA molecule are called genes. These dictate specific proteins which control our traits.

Genes contain thousands of chromosomes that carry specific information about building proteins for a particular trait.  - this is false - genes are segments of DNA that control specific traits by dictating the structure and functions of proteins. Chromosomes contain thousands of genes

Chromosomes are small sections of DNA that contain specific information about a trait to build proteins that people inherit. The thousands of different chromosomes passed from the parents allow for humans to look uniquely different. - this is false - chromosomes are large structures, genes are the relatively small sections of DNA. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, not thousands.

Chromosomes come in homologous pairs (one from each parent) that each contain thousands of genes, determining traits expressed in the offspring.  - this is true. In diploid organisms, like humans, have two copies of each chromosome. These chromosomes contain slightly different versions of genes, which make us unique.

Sonja [21]

a) Expedited Review b) Not Human Subjects c) Convened Review d) Exempt Review e) Full board review.

Answer:

Full board review.

Explanation:

IRB ( Institutional Review Board) is mainly responsible for the protection and maintains the ethics that are involved in the research related to humans and other animals.

The full board review requires  more time that n the other type of review. This review is mainly done in the cases where the participants can get misleading information. This review includes the research that are based on to involve the judgement and involves less risk. The information given in the question explain the full board type review.

Thus, the correct answer is full board review.
