The melting of the ice caps makes Earth warmer because less solar energy is reflected due to loss of Albedo
Elza [17]4 years ago

The answer is; B

The ice caps are made of ice sheets that are mainly white in color. The white color is known to have a high albedo (a measure of how much light that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed) hence reflects some of the sun’s radiation back to space. When these ice sheets and caps are lost, this albedo decreases and the earth get a little warmer since more sun rays are absorbed by the earth.

A chimpanzee has 48 chromosomes. When performing meiosis, one chromosome does not split properly in Anaphase II, causing one cel
Schach [20]

Answer:

The mutated cell will have 25 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division process in sexual reproduction which involves two successive divisions of a cell having a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes into four daughter cells having a haploid (1n) number of chromosomes.

Meiosis consists of two successive nuclear divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division consists of these stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Anaphase consists of anaphase I and II. During anaphase II, the centromeres linking the two pairs of chromosomes which are called chromatids separate, and the sister chromatids move toward the opposite poles of the cell and are now called chromosomes.

Therefore in the chimpanzee having 48 chromosomes, after underoing meiosis, each daughter cell will have 24 chromosomes. If there is a case of non-separation of one chromosome, the cell will have 1n + 1 chromosomes i.e. 24 + 1 = 25 chromosomes.

What is the source of carbon for the organisms of food chains?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.
