Geiger-Muller tube is instruments requires you test three times the background of the work area.

<u>Explanation</u>:

These detectors are gas filled detectors and hence requires time for responding to the value. This time is taken because during this period it collects the electric charges and features of the electric circuit. It also gets stabilized during this period. This device has thumb rule i.e one must wait or hold for at the least 3 times the time constant before getting the precise and accurate reading. The time constant order is 10 seconds for the ionization chamber but for the Geiger counter it can vary from seconds to greater than 20 seconds

Which of the following is an example of polygenic (quantitative) inheritance? a. the ABO blood groups b. Huntington's disease
ra1l [238]

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).

<h3>What is the importance of mangrove forests?</h3>

The mangroves are located in the subtropical and the tropical region where the climate is high in humidity and have saline and waterlogged forests.

The mangroves interact with the ecosystem through various means and help other aquatic organism for shelter and reproductive sites.

They help the ecosystem in maintaining water quality and help in coastal protection along with aiding the wildlife habitat. The fishes reside in the roots and the forests structures and lay their eggs.

Therefore, option d. all of the above is correct.
