BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!!! Explain what Lunar phases are in specific detail in one paragraph.

Biology

Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago

The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually and cyclically change over the period of a month (about 29.5 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.


The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by Earth's gravity; therefore, most of the same lunar side always faces Earth. This near side is variously sunlit, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit. Thus, the sunlit portion of this face can vary from 0% (at new moon) to 100% (at full moon). The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and darkened hemispheres.


Each of the four "intermediate" lunar phases (see below) is around 7.4 days, but this varies slightly due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Aside from some craters near the lunar poles, such as Shoemaker, all parts of the Moon see around 14.77 days of daylight, followed by 14.77 days of "night". (The side of the Moon facing away from Earth is sometimes called the "dark side of the Moon", although that is a misnomer.)



Take what you want from that. Don't plagerize.

Irish Setters are type of dog. In Irish Setters, the allele for red coat color (R) is dominant over the allele for brown coat
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

2 Rr, 2 rr. (2:2 ratio)

Explanation:

The offspring will be Rr Rr and rr rr.

Since the red coated parent is heterozygous the recessive gene will have more of a chance to show when bred with the recessive brown Irish Setter.

<em>Hope this is correct. Have a great day.</em>

Use the probability method to calculate the genotypes and genotypic proportions of a cross between AABBCc and Aabbcc parents.
lora16 [44]

For this, you need to use Punnett squares.

You know the genotype of the parents, and for the cross, you need to separate into two alleles, both genes.

AABBCc divided like ABC and ABc.

Aabbcc divided like Abc and abc.

Now you can cross them, and all probabilities will be:

AABbCc, AaBbCc, AABbcc and AaBbcc

So, you could say 25% of the offspring will be AaBbCc, 25% AaBbcc, 25% AABbCc, and 25% AABbcc
