Forests and trees store carbon . When they are degraded or completely cleared, e.g. by fire – a process referred to as deforestation – this stored carbon has the potential to be released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and contribute to climate change .

Which description is an example of converting gravitational energy into kinetic energy?

Troyanec [42]

When an object from a pause state begins to move the potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. One of the example is the yo-yo, it has stored energy due to its position. Once the yo-yo begins its fall the potential energy will change to kinetic energy and vice versa.

In humans, dimples (D) are dominant over no dimples (d). Curly hair (A) is dominant over

jeyben [28]

Answer:

1. ddaa

2. DdAa

3. One from each parent

4. False

5. 0.25

6. 0.25

7. 0.25

8. 0.5

Explanation:

The remaining part of the question is

1. What is Jane's genotype?

2. What is Paul’s genotype?

3. Where did Jane get her gene for curly hair? From her mother or father?

4. True or False: Jane's mother was heterozygous for curly hair?

5. What fraction of Paul and Jane's children should have curly hair and dimples?

6. What fraction of their children would have straight hair and no dimples?

7. What fraction should have dimples but not curly hair?

8. What is the probability of getting any offspring with dimples

Solution

1. Genotype of Jane's mother -ddaa

2. Genotype of Paul (heterozygous for dimples and curly hair) – DdAa

3. One “a” gene from mother (whose genotype for hair was aa) and second “a”gene from father (whose genotype was Aa)

4. False. She was having straight hair

5. Offspring of Paul and Jane

DdAa (4), Ddaa (4), ddAa(4) and ddaa (4)

4 out of 16 offspring will have curly hair and dimples = 0.25

6. ddaa, 4/16 = 0.25

7. Ddaa , 4/16 = 0.25

8. Ddaa, DdAa, 8/16 = 0.5
