Biology
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<u><em>Option B</em></u> is correct: 235 92U + 1 0n→ 140 55Cs + 94 37Rb + 2 (1 0n)

Explanation:

During nuclear fission, nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts. The fission process produces free neutrons and photons, and releases a large amount of energy.

In these four reactions, only B option satisfied the conditions of a nuclear fission reaction. <u>Here is more detail</u>

B. 235 92U + 1 0n → 140 55Cs + 94 37Rb + 2 (1 0n)

235 92U atoms split into 140 55Cs and 94 37Rb smaller parts with the help of neutron (energy).

The <u><em>other</em></u> three reactions are the example of <u><em>nuclear transmutation reactions</em></u>.

A. 14 7N + 1 1H → 15 8O

C. 9 4Be + 4 2He → 12 6C + 1 0n

D. 239 93Np + 239 94Pu + 0 -1e

In the last century, the extent of global rain forests has been reduced by _____. one-half
Elodia [21]

The correct answer is - one-half.

In the past century, the deforestation of the rainforests in the world had been devastating, and it is estimated that approximately one half of the tropical rainforests have been destroyed.

The reason for the large scale destruction of the rainforests is mainly because of clearing space for agriculture and for spaces where the cattle can graze. Unfortunately, the people that live the regions where the tropical forests are, are not well educated as to how to manage the land, and a big problem is that the soil of the rainforests is only good for 2-3 seasons, because it spends and erodes very quickly. Because of that, people just continue to clear more and more of it, thus leaving destroyed forest and destroyed soil behind them, without taking in consideration the long term effects.

A heterozygous, three-horned alien from Mercury has met and fallen in love with a four-horned alien from Jupiter. What would hap
Gnesinka [82]
Because the three-horned alien is heterozygous, we know that three must be dominant to four, because the gene for the three horns is "hiding" the gene for four horns. Therefore, the three-horned alien has the genotype Tt (T for three horns, and t for four horns). The four horned alien must be tt, because that is the only way that a recessive trait may be seen.  If you solve the punnet square on a cross between Tt and tt, you end up with half three (heterozygous) and half four (homozygous recessive) it is a bit easier to explain with something a little "closer to home" if you want me to explain it again, just say so, I don't mind!
