Geological change will not cause a mass extinction, because it happens on a too big scale - on the scale of millions of years. During such long time, it is more likely that other causes will influence the survival of extinction of species, such as climate change or environmental disasters, and even if there is a small influence, it would not be significant next to other causes.
Answer – The Tide
The regular rising and falling of ocean water due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon is known as the ocean tide. Primarily, it is the moon that is chiefly responsible for the rising and falling of ocean water; the gravity of the sun only reinforces the moon's gravity.
Answer:
Obviously, such rocks transmit only small quantities of water and are poor aquifers. By comparison, rocks such as fractured sandstones and cavernous limestone have large connected openings that permit water to move more freely; such rocks transmit larger quantities of water and are good aquifers.
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
In pea plants, yellow pod color is recessive and green pod color is dominant. A heterozygous plant produced offspring with a plant that is homozygous dominant for the trait. What is a percent chance that the pea plant will have green pods.
Answer:
100%
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele "G" gives green pod color while the allele "g" imparts yellow color to the pods. The genotype of the heterozygous plant would be "Gg". A cross between heterozygous green plant (Gg) with homozygous dominant (GG) plant would produce progeny in following ratio=
Gg x GG= 1/2 GG (green): 1/2 Gg (green)
Therefore, there are 100% chances that the progeny plant will have green pods.
