How do scientists separate the layers of the atmosphere

1 answer:

7 0

Well, there are five layers in the Earth's Atmosphere:

(In order from the inside out)

1) Troposphere
- This is where weather occurs.

2) Stratosphere
- This is the layer where jets fly, this is where jet-streams are found

3) Mesosphere
- Meso ("Middle") named because it is in the middle. This is where meteros burn up in the atmosphere.

4) Thermosphere
- Thermo ("Heat") Names because it is the hottest layer in the atmosphere. This is where the aurora borealis, or northern lights occur.

5) Exosphere
- Exo ("Outer") This is the outmost layer and it is where the atmosphere merges with outer space.

How are food chains and food webs related

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.

A GeoChart is a tool used to visualize data on a map. The size of the circular

7nadin3 [17]

Explanation:

We know that the larger the circle, the more large the diameter of the circle the more the quantity being studied.

We can clearly see that the South eastern coast of Australia has more number of people diagnosed with cancer.

The South western and the Northern part also records a sizable amount of skin cancer cases.

In the middle part of the map where the circles are small, the number of people diagnosed with cancer is very low
Other areas without the circle did not record any case of skin cancer.

Variation of ecological habitats within a species is characteristic of which type of diversity? a. genetic diversity b. ecosyste

zheka24 [161]

An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and the other organisms work for the existence of bubble life.

<h3>Variation of ecological habitats within a species is characteristic of which type of diversity?</h3>

The variation of ecological habitats within a specie is character of the type of diversity is known as Ecosystem Diversity.

Ecosystem is defined as the different kinds of habitats, ecological processes and communities. A biological community is defined by the specie which occupy a specific area and the interactions between the species.

So we can conclude that: An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and the other organisms work for the existence of bubble life.

why was it imporatnt for mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance

Elena L [17]

It is important for Mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance because higher sample size gives more accurate results.

>>>Mendel coined the terms “recessive” and “dominant” in reference to certain traits.One best association to this is is his study about pea plants. According to him, green peas are recessive and yellow peas are dominant.

To check whether Earnest and Denise could have a baby with Type O blood, draw a Punnett square for a father who has blood Type A

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Answer is explained below and also see the document attached below for Punnett square.

Explanation:

ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O) is based on the presence (or absence) of the A and B antigens in the red blood cells. The blood type, A has only the A antigen (and has anti-B antibodies) while the blood type, B has only the B antigen (and had anti-A antibodies). Also in the AB blood type, both A and B antigens are present (but has no antibodies) while in the O blood type, both A and B antigens are absent (but has both antibodies).

The blood type is inherited from the parents and the offspring inherits one of the two alleles from each parent. The ABO blood type has three types of alleles: IA, IB, and i. Here, I is a term for antigen (isoagglutinogen).

The IA and IB alleles are dominant while the i allele is recessive. The blood type A is formed by either two IA alleles (IA IA ) or IA i. So, the genotype of blood type A is IA IA or IA i. The blood type B is formed by either two IB alleles (IB IB ) or IB i. So, the genotype of blood type B is IB IB or IB i. The O blood type is formed only by two i alleles (ii). So, the genotype of blood type O is ii. The IA and IB alleles (IA IB) give the AB blood type, which is an example of codominance (the traits of both the alleles are visible in the phenotype). The genotype of blood type AB is IA IB.

If the parents have blood type A and B, then they can have an AB blood type offspring. If the parents have blood type A and B and they both are heterozygous (IB i and IA i), then they can also have a O blood type child.

Here, the father has blood Type A (IA i genotype) while the mother has blood Type B (IB i genotype). Both the parents are heterozygous (IB i and IAi), so the possible genotypes of their child are IA IB (blood type AB), IA i (blood type A), IB i (blood type B) and ii (blood type O).

i.e., Blood Type Genotype

A IA IA or IA i

B IB IB or IB i

AB IA IB

O ii
