Answer:

1-The longest a total solar eclipse can last is 7.5 minutes.

2-The width of the path of totality is usually about 160 km across and can sweep across an area of Earth's surface about 10,000 miles long.

3-Depending on the geometry of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, there can be between 2 and 5 solar eclipses each year.

4-A total solar eclipse can happen once every 1-2 years. This makes them very rare events.

5-Almost identical eclipses occur after 18 years and 11 days. This period of 223 synodic months is called a saros.

6-During a total solar eclipse, conditions in the path of totality can change quickly. Air temperatures drop and the immediate area becomes dark.

7-There is another type of solar eclipse, known as a hybrid eclipse, which shifts between a total and annular eclipse depending on where you view it from on Earth. These are comparatively rare.

8-The speed of the Moon as it moves across the Sun is approximately 2,250 km (1,398 miles) per hour.

9-If you are at the North or South Poles, you cannot view a total solar eclipse.

10-In ancient times, people thought an eclipse was a sign that the gods were angry or that bad things were about to happen.

11-During a total solar eclipse day time looks more like twilight.

Explanation:

Your welcome.

5-Each year there are between 2 and 5 solar eclipses.

6-The total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely obscures the Sun and leaves only the faint solar corona, is known as a Totality.

7-Total solar eclipses are rare, happening only once every 18 months.

8-Total solar eclipses produce harmful rays that can cause blindness.

9-If any planets are in the sky at the time of a total solar eclipse, they can be seen as points of light.

10-During a total solar eclipse, conditions in the path of totality can change quickly. Air temperatures drop and the immediate area becomes dark.

11- A solar eclipse can only occur when the Moon is close enough to the ecliptic plane during a new moon

16. In which of the following situations are the phenotypes of F2 offspring expected to follow
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The F2 offspring of a cross would follow the ratio of 9:3:3:1 only if the cross is a <u>dihybrid for two unlinked traits</u>.

There is nothing like a monohybrid cross for two traits. A cross involving two traits is a dihybrid cross. Hence, options a and b are out of the equation.

A dihybrid cross for two closely linked traits would produce F2 offspring in another ratio that is different from 9:3:3:1 depending on the linkage map.

<em>Hence, the correct option is</em><em> C</em><em>.</em>

Can a female be a carrier for a sex-linked recessive trait? Explain.
tatuchka [14]

In each pregnancy, if the mother is a carrier and the father has the disease, the expected outcomes are: 25% chance of a healthy boy.
