in 6-8 sentences, explain how stream volume and speed affect the size, shape and flow of streams and rivers.

Biology

sukhopar [10]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The higher the volume of water in a stream, the higher its speed and the wide its size and shape which ensures a proportionate flow rate.

To quantify how the speed of stream, we use the quantity, discharge in hydrology;

 Discharge is the volumetric rate of water flow past a point at a particular time.

  Discharge = \frac{volume of water}{time}

  • We see that discharge is directly proportional to the volume of water in a stream.
  • It is inversely proportional to the time taken.
  • We know that volume is the amount of space occupied by a body. It is function of its size and shape.
  • A big water body that is deeper, wider and longer will have more wate and a greater discharge.

Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in guinea pigs. An F1 cross was conducted and resulted in 100% heterozygous guinea pi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.

If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:

Bb = B and b

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs

bb = white fur guinea pigs

Elis [28]

Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each

What is the term used to describe the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule
Nastasia [14]

Answer: double helix

Explanation: The double helix of DNA is, like its name implies, in the shape of a helix which is essentially a three dimensional spiral. The double comes from the fact that the helix is made of two long strands of DNA that are intertwined—sort of like a twisted ladder.

take two plants allow one to grow in sunlight and other in dark.write your observation and conclusion
melisa1 [442]

The plants which will grow in sunlight will be able to perform photosynthesis while the other in dark will not and die slowly.

<h3>What is Photosynthesis?</h3>

This is the process in which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight.

The plants which is exposed to sunlight will activate the photosynthetic reactions and produce food such as glucose.

Compare and contrast the cell cycle with mitosis and the cell cycle with meiosis. Citing atleast 4 similarities and 5 difference
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.

Mitosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell. Chromosomes replicated during the S phase are divided in such a way as to ensure that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome. In actively dividing animal cells, the whole process takes about one hour.

Meiosis is the form of eukaryotic cell division that produces haploid sex cells or gametes (which contain a single copy of each chromosome) from diploid cells (which contain two copies of each chromosome). The process takes the form of one DNA replication followed by two successive nuclear and cellular divisions (Meiosis I and Meiosis II). As in mitosis, meiosis is preceded by a process of DNA replication that converts each chromosome into two sister chromatids.
