B. Lowering taxes in order to stimulate spending. When the economy experiences a downturn, the government is more likely to cut taxes to allow price competitiveness of goods, thereby triggering demand, hence consumption among households. A boost in consumption should translate into an increase in supply that wwould in turn bring about job creation. The negative trend would therefore be reversed.
Answer:
Accurate - Yes
Precise - Yes
Explanation:
Accuracy and precision are two ways to detect the closeness of measured values in an experiment. However, these two terms do not mean the same thing.
Accuracy of a measurement refers to how close a measurement (experimental values) is to a true or actual value while the precision of a measurement refers to how close the experimental or measured values are to one another.
Note that, a measurement may be accurate but not precise or be precise but not accurate.
In the case of the dart board in the image, it is evident that the measured values (represented by darts) are close to the middle target (represents the known or accepted mark). Hence, the measurements are said to be ACCURATE. Likewise, the measured values are also close to one another, meaning that they are PRECISE.
Therefore, the measurements are both precise and accurate.
The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:
• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),
• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and
• Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)
Answer:
<em><u>D. The first flowering plants were introduced toward the end of the Mesozoic era.</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
Explanation:
Following the Paleozoic Era, the Mesozoic Era or <em>Age of Conifers</em> began approximately 250 million years ago. This major geological era brought about the ancestors of many of the plant and animal groups still in existence today.
The Mesozoic era is marked by 3 divisions:
- the Triassic Period,
- the Jurassic Period,
- and the Cretaceous Period.
Animals and plants slowly recovered after the mass extinction in the Permian-Triassic extinction that led to the eradication of most aquatic marine species. They evolved to exploit varying niches in their environment, leading to a boom in terrestrial animals. Over time the planet's increasingly warm climate, abundant in atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide, contributed to the growth of diverse megaflora, that rapidly dominated the planet's terrestrial biosphere.
By the end of the <em>Mesozoic Era</em>, in the Cretaceous period, flowering plants (angiosperms) largely replaced the dominant seed ferns of the <em>Triassic</em>, and the conifers, cycads and gymnosperms of the <em>Jurassic</em>.
<em>Varied dispersal mechanisms in angiosperms co-evolved with the evolution of certain types of fauna. Plants used animal life, including herbivorous reptiles and early mammal-like species to disperse large seeds.</em>
Answer:
Pollination, the transfer of pollen from flower-to-flower in angiosperms or cone -to-cone in gymnosperms, takes place through self-pollination or cross-pollination. ... The placement of male and female flowers on separate plants or different parts of the plant are also barriers to self-pollination.
