 Best Answer

Sediments can be deposited by wind or water but water moves most. 
Loess is wind deposited particles. Alluvium is water deposited soil. 
The particles are one part but the place they settle impacts how they become rock because the geologic process will be different at the bottom of a deep marine sea than it is in a shallow off shore shelf. 

Only the very smallest particles will be moved to mid-ocean but there will be many plankton and other organic deposits. 

Coastal particles will vary in sizes . Water temperature will have more impact on the organic contributions here. Shallow tropical waters have coral and can form limestone.

A mom, heterozygous for type B blood, has a baby with type AB blood, what possible blood types could the baby's father have?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

A

AB

Explanation:

This question involves blood type, which can either be blood type A, B, AB or O in humans. Alleles A (iA) and B (iB) are co-dominant but dominant over allele O (i).

According to this question, a mom who is heterozygous for type B blood i.e. genotype iBi, has a baby with type AB blood. Since the mother contributed the "B" allele, it means that the father contributed the A allele. Only a father with genotype: iAi or iAiA (type A) or iAiB (type AB) can produce such allele.

Why would it be pointless for reptiles to sit on their eggs to incubate them as birds do? (2 points) Reptiles have teeth with wh
Alika [10]
The correct answer is: 'Reptiles are ectotherms and cannot raise their body temperature above that of the environment'. Birds sit on their eggs to incubate the eggs as the body temperature of the adult bird warms up the eggs. Birds are <span>endothermic homeotherms, and maintain a constant body temperature. In contrast </span>reptiles <span>are ectothermic poikilotherms, and their body temperature depends on the temperature of the outside environment.</span>
