Answer:

D. 4

Explanation:

The mentioned plant species is diploid and have 48 chromosomes. A diploid organism has two complete sets of chromosomes. This means that the diploid plant species have two complete sets of chromosomes. Mutation results in the formation of a diploid gamete having a total of 48 chromosomes (two complete sets of chromosomes). Self-fertilization of such mutated diploid gamete would produce a zygote with 48 (2 sets of chromosomes) + 48 (2 sets of chromosomes) = 96 chromosomes. Therefore, the resultant zygote would have a total of four sets of chromosomes.

Explain what happens to the body temperature of the rattlesnakes as day turns to night
Mila [183]

\huge\bold\red{Answer}

It bears repeating that reptiles potentially dangerous to man account for only a small proportion of Nevada’s herpetofauna. Of the twenty-five snake species found here, only the six rattlesnakes pose any possible threat. Similarly, of twenty lizard species native to Nevada, only the Gila monster is venomous. The vast majority of reptiles found in Nevada (and elsewhere) are completely harmless!

Was the membrane at a stable equilibrium before you pushed it? How could you tell?
liq [111]

Answer:

Well, first let's define the difference between stable and unstable equilibrium.

Stable: After a little perturbation, the equilibrium state is retaken.

Unstable: After a little perturbation, the state changes to one more stable.

An example of this is:

Imagine a pencil, when the pencil lays down in the table, it is in stable equilibrium because you can touch it and it will return to the same initial state.

Now suppose that the pencil is standing up (we can think this as a more energetic state). The pencil is in equilibrium, it does not move and there is no force acting on it.

Now you can touch it (a small perturbation) and the pencil will likely fall down, to the stable state of equilibrium.

That is the difference between stable and unstable (There is also an image below, where you can see it in a more physical way, where the vertical axis represents energy and the horizontal represents a given variable or set of variables).

Then, how to know if the membrane was at a stable equilibrium before you pushed it?

Did it return to the initial state? then yes, it was a stable equilibrium

Did It change to a less energetic state? Then no, it was in an unstable equilibrium.

Jobisdone [24]

A mushroom-shaped landform consisting of a column of less resistant rock supporting a broader extent of wind-resistant rock is termed a yardang. Yardangs form in environments where prevailing winds are strong and move in a single direction. Yardangs occur in various deserts of the world such as the Turkistan and the Mojave deserts.
