Answer:

The actual velocity of the canoe is 17 mi/hr in downward direction.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of canoe, $v_c=5\ mi/hr$ (downstream)

Velocity of stream, $v_s=12\ mi/hr$

We need to find the actual velocity of the canoe. Let it is equal to v. As it is clear that both velocities are in same direction. So, the actual velocity of the canoe is given by the sum of velocity of canoe and the stream.

$v=v_c+v_s$

$v=5+12$

v = 17 mi/hr

Since, the velocity is positive. It means it is in downstream direction. So, the correct option is (d) "17 mi/hr, downstream".

I don't know much about it but i think it is when <span>When you crosses 2 plants of the same pure lines parentage, the resulting F1 is termed as true-breeding plants.
</span>True-breeding plants can also be produced by <span> selfing </span> (or self crossing) flowers form a pure line plant. When seeds from this fertilization are planted, they will give rise to homologous-homogeneous population.

Which two species are most closely related?

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Two species (B & C) are more closely related to one another than either one is to a third species (A) if, and only if, they share a more recent common ancestor with one another (at Time 2) than they do with the third species (at Time 1).
