How and why does the latitude of a place on earth affect its average temperature?

Biology
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Higher latitudes receive less light intensity from the sun than lower latitudes. This is due to the way the sun rays differentially 'hit' the earth's surface at the different latitudes as a result of the spherical nature of the earth. The higher the latitudes, the sun rays 'hit' the earth at a more oblique angle and cover a larger surface area (hence lower density). This is why the equatorial regions are the warmest because the sun rays 'hit' more or less at right angle and therefore more sun rays hit per surface area (high density).

In a population of 200, 86 individuals express the recessive phenotype. What percent of the population would you predict would b
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 45%

Explanation:

From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;

p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1

p + q = 1

Where:

p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population

q = Recessive allele frequency in the population

p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant

q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive

2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population

The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86

The number of individuals in the population = 200

The percentage of  individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43

Therefore;

q = √0.43 = 0.656

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344

∴ The frequency of  individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344

The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%

All of the following statements describe kinesin-I EXCEPT__________.
adell [148]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Kinesin -1 is the major anterograde motor which helps in the transportation along micro tubules. This is important for the proper transport of the mitochondria, Golgi derived vesicles,  endoplasmic reticulum tubulin, mRNA and intermediate filament sub units.

It moves along the micro tubules and for this task it gets energy from the adenosine triphosphate.

The heavy chain of KInesin 1 is made of globular head via short flexible neck and has a light chain as well which ends in the carboxy terminal.

Which event started the Pequot war?
Tanya [424]
<span>The division of the fur trade was mostly the spark of the Pequot war. The Pequot war is a conflict between the Pequot tribe and the alliances that the European colonists have made in Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their native tribe alliance with the Mohegan tribes. <span>

<span>It was a dispute that the Pequots lost; where about an approximate of 700 of these tribesmen were either killed or sent to slavery. Access to the control of fur trade divided the two tribes when they both decided to realign with English trade sources. The Pequots made an alliance with the Dutch, while the Mohegan made an alliance with the English. </span></span></span>
