The following structural changes occur as conducting tubes
become smaller;
- support structures change. The trachea has more hyaline cartilage
than the bronchioles
- epithelium type changes with bronchioles having ciliated
columnar cells with the trachea having tall columnar pseudostratified
- amount of smooth muscle increases as you go lower the respiratory tract
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.
It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.
Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.
It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.
Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.
When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
Answer:
4, based on the assumption that the R allele is dominant over the r allele, and that the T allele is dominant over the t allele.
Explanation:
Any bush with a dominant petal color allele (R) will have red petals. This includes Rr and RR.
Any bush with a dominant bush size allele (T) will have a tall bush. This includes Tt and TT.
The only way to acquire a short bush or pink petals is to have two recessive alleles together (tt, rr).
RRTT, RrTT, RRTt, and RrTt -> red petals with tall bushes
RRtt, Rrtt -> Red petals with short bushes
rrTt, rrTT -> pink petals and tall bushes
rrtt-> pink petals with short bushes.
These are the four phenotype variations possible in this dihybrid cross.
5 chromosomes. Meiosis results in 4 haploid cells, meaning they have "n" pairs of chromosomes. The diploid cell that the 10 chromosomes originated in has "2n" pairs. This leaves us with a simple equation to solve the problem, 2n=10, so n must equal 5 chromosomes.
Both have a pump that pushes materials throughout the organism.
