Complete question:

Question: Genes in different chromosomes _____ during meiosis. Genes that are very close together in the same chromosome are _____.

a) do not assort independently; unrelated

b) assort independently; unrelated

c) assort independently; linked

d) do not assort independently; linked

Answer:

c) assort independently; linked

Explanation:

During anaphase-I of meiotic division, homologous chromosomes are moved to the opposite poles of the cell. This segregation also separates the alleles of genes present on the chromosomes to the opposite poles. The segregation of genes is a random event which means that the alleles of one gene segregate independently of the alleles of some other gene. This requires that the genes are present on separate chromosomes.

The genes present close together on the same chromosomes are linked. This means that they are inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment.

Name two ways that water can enter the atmosphere.​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:ways Water enters the atmosphere evaporation, transpiration, excretion and sublimation:

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from plants (via their leaves).

Sublimation is when ice or snow transforms directly into water vapour without going through a liquid phase (i.e. they do not melt).

Animals excrete water by respiration and by passing urine.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.

Several cities have now banned __________, which are a type of fat.
Furkat [3]
The correct answer is "trans fatty acids".

Trans fatty acids (colloquially as trans fats) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids wherein instead having its double bonds in the cis configuration giving the fatty acid "kinks" in the molecules making it more soluble; the double bonds in trans fats are in the trans configuration (hence the name) and this will not give the molecule kinks making it less soluble. Less soluble trans fats are notorious in depositing in peripheral arteries as well as in coronary arteries that increase the risk for developing atherosclerosis.
