Answer:

(a)-Rills, and arroyos or gullies develop mainly during prolonged droughts.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is the process of erosion, transport and sedimentation of soil, subsoils and rocks as an effect of the action of erosive agents such as water, winds and living things. The process of disintegration of rock particles (called sediments) is caused by the action of weathering (a set of chemical, physical and biological processes that cause soil and rock wear).

About soil erosion, we can confirm that the following information is true:

  • Grasses and other vegetation, windbreaks, and contour cropping will help reduce soil loss from cultivated lands.
  • Soils form naturally by weathering; if protected from erosion, sound management can maintain or enhance their nutrient levels and textural characteristics.

Explanation:

Antimicrobial peptides are short-chained amino acids that are produced as a result of the innate immune defense which can kill various pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

The structure of these antimicrobial peptides consists of a large portion of hydrophobic residues along with positively charged residues such as arginine and lysine.

Antimicrobial peptides employ the use of various mechanisms to combat the pathogens that enter the body. Some of these mechanisms are ;

You inherited your mother's crooked nose and her recipe for chocolate chip cookies (both favorable traits). Which trait will be
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

b.the recipe because it can be passed on to all relatives

Explanation:

A crooked nose is a genetic trait and can be passed to the progeny via genes only. Sexually reproducing organisms such as humans experience segregation of traits during gamete formation. Therefore, crooked nose inheritance is a chance factor regulated by the inheritance of genes and the segregation of alleles. On the other hand, a recipe for chocolate chip cookies can be shared with all the relatives and other individuals of the population by any means without any conditions. Therefore, a recipe will spread more quickly through the population.
