P waves move quickly and S waves move slowly through solids,

Explanation:

S and P waves can move through a solid material. P waves generally moves quickly and S-waves move slowly through solids.

S and P waves elastic seismic waves.

P waves are primary waves travels through any material medium. They move faster than S-waves.
S waves are secondary waves that moves through solid only. They are shear waves.
They cannot move through liquids and gases because these materials cannot be sheared.

At a seismic station, P waves arrives first because they have a higher velocity

In pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds. A heterozygous yellow-

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The phenotypic percentage of having yellow or green seeds is 50% for having either of the two colours

Explanation:

The crossing to determine the offsprings is shown in the image attached where we have two green (Yy) seeds and two yellow (yy) seeds as offsprings.

Thus, <u>the phenotypic percentage of having yellow or green seeds is 50% for having either of the two colours</u>.

Note, the dominant allele is "Y" while the recessive allele is "y". Thus, Yy would produce a yellow colour while yy would produce a green colour (as both mentioned in the question).

Also note that phenotype describes the outward properties/characteristics of an individual.

Which element, under normal circumstances, does not combine chemically with other elements to form compounds?

Ilya [14]

That would be the NOBLE GASES (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon). Because these elements have a filled outer shell (thus giving them the full octet that other elements crave), they are stable elements under normal circumstances and as such resist chemical combination.

Plz note that under special conditions, noble gases such as Xenon and Radon can form compounds (Xenon Fluoride and Oxide; Radon Fluoride)

Are there moles of stars in the universe?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Yes, a mole is defined as 6x1023 of something, so a mole of stars is 6x1023 stars. If we compare this number to our estimate of the total number of stars, we find that there is about 1/10 of a mole of stars in the Universe.

Hope this helps!
