Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The force and vibration from an earthquake or volcano can cause a landslide. An earthquake can shake the ground vigorously and cause rocks and dirt on mountains to break apart and start to fall down, causing the landslide.

What is the role of carbon storage in organisms?? Plz answer fast in paragraph form if possible

belka [17]

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.

What are proteins that act to speed up chemical reactions?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Enzymes because they are proteins that act as catalysts within living cells. Catalysts increase the rate at which chemical reactions occur without being consumed or permanently altered themselves.

Hope this helps! Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

A true-breeding plant with inflated pods and yellow pods is crossed with a plant that has constricted and yellow pods. Draw a

xenn [34]

Answer: Sysy × Sysy i.e. all are genotypically heterozygous, inflated, and yellow

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic means of determining traits of hybrid offspring produced via crosses in genetic breeding. The parental genotypes and phenotypes are usually known, and these typically follow standard Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focus on trait inheritance, or heritability. These traits are packaged out into its own gamete, inherited by themselves and often show dominance, where one's effect may mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross...

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: Y → pod color green dominant (Y), yellow recessive (y)

S→ pod size; inflated dominant (S), constricted recessive (c)

Assumptions...

True breeding plants are homozygous, with identical sets of alleles
The other parent is heterozygous, as it was not said to breed true

P generation: SySy × sysy

yellow, inflated × yellow, constricted

F1 generation: Sysy × Sysy ...(from punnet square)

phenotype: yellow, inflated × yellow, inflated

∴ all are genotypically heterozygous, inflated, and yellow

Why is GMO modification different for plants and animals? Plants have a cell wall. Plants do not have DNA The mitochondria in pl

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Plants have a cell wall

Explanation:

GMO modification is different for plants and animals because plant cells have cell walls, unlike animal cells.

GMO refers to genetically modified organisms - a technique that involves the introduction of foreign genes into the genome of organisms.

GMO modification requires that the genome of a cell is accessed by a foreign gene and in order to do this, the membrane of the cell has to be disrupted to gain entrance by the gene. Animal cells do not have cell walls, and thus, can be accessed directly relevant mechanisms. Plant cells, however, have cell walls and as such, no direct access to the cell membrane can be achieved without having to remove the cell wall first.

Thus, the cell wall is a major factor that makes GMO modification to be different for plants and animals.
