The second option: meiosis and fertilization
process A is meiosis, you can see that the gamete(haploid cell) results from the diploid cell. The gamete has n chromosomes(39), whereas the diploid cell has 2n(78)
process B is fertilization the two gametes(haploid) fuse together to form the zygote(diploid)
Answer:
The high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that substance by one degree Celsius (1° C).
Due to the hydrogen bonding present in water, water has a high specific heat capacity of 4184 Joules per kilogram. This means that, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. When compared to other substances such as metals, this is very high. For example, the specific heat capacity of copper is 385 Joules per kilogram which means that it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.
Therefore water, can absorb a large quantity of heat with very little changes in its temperature. This property of water helps the oceans and seas to serve as heat reservoirs by absorbing a large quantity of heat in hotter seasons and releasing these heat in colder seasons.
The correct answer is the marble would weather more rapidly.
The weathering of the rock can be defined as the procedure of the erosion of the rock by various agents. The marble is a metamorphic form of the limestone. The limestone is easily affected by the hot and the humid climates. The rain and the atmospheric carbon dioxide get mix together form mild acids, this acid react with the limestone and causes the chemical changes. As a result, the marble is subjected to erosion in hot and humid climate.
a local health officer
The power to arrest someone who refuses to undergo treatment for a communicable disease lies with: a local health officer.
A local health officer is an individual who works with a local health department (a government agency). A local health officer is responsible for the enforcement of all public health laws, and regulations. He is also responsible for controlling, organizing, and administering all duties and operations of the health department, inclusive of the operation of laboratories, clinics, and health centers.
