Saturn has about 62 moons that have been confirmed with orbits. But only 53 of those are named.

Saturn has 62 confirmed moons of which 9 are waiting to be officially named. Saturn's largest moon Titan is bigger than both Mercury and Pluto. Titan has a very thick atmosphere which is mostly nitrogen. Earth's atmosphere is also mostly nitrogen. Saturn also has many icy moons like Mimas which has a large crater that is 1/4 the diameter of the moon, and Enceladus which has very dark material covering one side and very bright material on the other side. Some of Saturn's smaller moons help keep Saturn's rings stable by orbiting in or near the rings. These moons are called "shepherd moons" and use their gravity to keep the small ring particles in a stable orbit. Some of the gaps in Saturn's rings are caused by these moons. More moons are constantly being discovered so check the NASA Saturn site for the latest.

16. Why should the recessive phenotype be used first to determine the q squared value instead of the dominant phenotype to deter
podryga [215]

The recessive phenotype is used first to determine the q squared value because it is only expressed when h0m0zygous.

<h3>What is a recessive phenotype?</h3>

A recessive phenotype is a phenotype which expresses the recessive trait of a gene.

The recessive phenotype is always h0m0zygous for that triat to be expressed.

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, the allele and phenotype frequencies are given as follows:

  • p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

where;

  • p^2 is the h0m0zygous dominant phenotype frequency
  • 2pq is the heterozygous phenotype frequency
  • q^2 is the h0m0zygous recessive phenotype frequency

Therefore, the recessive phenotype is used first to determine the q squared value because it is only expressed when h0m0zygous.

A postmenopausal female client diagnosed with osteoporosis asks the nurse how a decrease in estrogen can cause problems with bon
larisa [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis refers to a condition that weakens the bone, and enhances the threat of unanticipated and sudden fractures, also known as porous bones. It leads to an enhanced loss of bone mass and strength. The disease often advances without any kind of pain or signs.  

There is a direct association between the reduction of estrogen post menopause and the emergence of osteoporosis. Postmenopause, the breakdown or resorption of bone takes over the formation of novel bone. Estrogen diminishes the function and number of osteoclasts. Thus, the reduction in the levels of estrogen after menopause leads to bone loss.

Which qualities describe the entire open-ocean zone? Check all that apply. few nutrients
uysha [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

- few nutrients

- high pressure

- low temperatures

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Few nutrients:  open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.

2. High pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.

3. Ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface.

4. Varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.

5. Low temperatures:  the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°C to an average of 17°C.

The work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace on the origin of the Earth's species extended the ideas of Lyell's uniformitariani
Morgarella [4.7K]
<h2>The work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace </h2>

Explanation:

C) uniform modification of genetic traits over long periods of time.

The theory of uniformitarianism  states that the natural phenomena and laws that are bringing about changes in the today's world are functioning in the same rate since the geological times. This idea of uniformitarianism was linked to biological sciences because according to Darwin and Wallace's observation, the uniform modification of genes among the population brought about the species diversity on the Earth.
