The correct answer is B. The science of inherited traits

Explanation:

Genetics refers to the field in biology that focuses on studying genes which are the basic units of heredity and therefore the ones that determine inherited traits. Indeed genetic study the way traits are passed through reproduction and also the way genes change over time or express which is closely connected to evolution. Additionally, genetics have been widely studied beginning by the works of Mendel during the 19th century and nowadays the knowledge about genes including the behavior, function, and structure of them is broad. According to this, genetics is defined as the science of inherited traits.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

d) 2v

Explanation:

Since, root mean square speed of a molecule,

$V_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}}$

Where,

k = Boltzmann constant,

T = temperature of gas,

m = mass of molecule,

Also, the temperature of a gas,

$T=\frac{pV}{nR}$

Where,

p = pressure of the gas,

V = volume,

n = number of moles of gas,

R = universal gas constant,

$\implies V_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3kpV}{mnR}}$

If V = 2V and p = 2P

Then,

$V_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{12kpV}{mnR}$

$=2\sqrt{\frac{3kpV}{mnR}$

Hence, if rms speed of a gas molecule under initial conditions is v then rms speed of a molecule will be 2v

i.e. option d is correct.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Gender

Explanation:

Renaissance was a period of European history that was very disputed.
This period was a hierarchal age and the place of a person in the society was determined by the class that he/she was born into it.
However, the hierarchy was not limited to just rank but also included gender which was defended by revolutionary women as gender was considered as a natural distinction.
Thus, revolutionists in the process of equalisation wanted to defend gender the most.

How is conservation related to biodiversity?

Neporo4naja [7]

Conservation is needed for biodiversity. If one organism (plant or animal) goes extinct it disrupts the food chain and the ecosystem forcing plants an area to go extinct themselves or to migrate. The greater the biodiversity the the healthier the ecosystem is and vice versa.
