Answer:

The study of personality traits, mental tendencies, and talents as a consequence of skull curvature is termed as phrenology. It is regarded as a pseudoscience as it is devoid of scientific support for its claims. However, the study has contributed to medicine as its fundamental premise is that the mental activities are localized in the regions of the brain.  

Phrenology relies upon the concept that the brain refers to an organ of the mind and physical areas in the brain can offer something to the character of an individual. Apart from its popularity it was controversial and is now been discredited by science.

Which of the following scenarios is representative of how agricultural practices can affect the environment?
Citrus2011 [14]
<span>The correct answer to the question, 'which of the following scenarios is representative of how agricultural practice can affect the environment' is A. Option A is chosen because it is the only option that refer to another environment which is different from that of the farm. When fertilizers are washed to nearby ponds as a result of erosion, it causes a lot of negative changes in the pond. For instance, the chemicals in the fertilizer can be poisonous to some of the smaller organisms in the pond, this will result in the death of these organisms. Fertilizer run off can also cause excessive growth of plants such as algae in the pond. This may block out the light necessary for the survival of the organisms in the ponds and may also reduce the amount of oxygen available to the organisms living in the pond.</span>

Why do real examples not always follow the punnrt square
m_a_m_a [10]
Because they have more underlying factors such as (straight) brown hair or (curly) blonde hair from different parents. A punnet square would be too big and confusing if we considered all the factors that came from the parents.
