The right answer is false.

All the physical characteristics of an individual, which are at the basis of genetic characters (sometimes even epigenetic), are transmitted to his offspring.

Classical or monogenic Mendelian inheritance is based on the transmission of a single gene in a dominant, recessive mode, linked to the sex chromosome X (or Y), or more rarely mitochondrial (extranuclear) chromosome.

False, the physical trait that makes it easier for an organism to access food supplies is likely to pass from the parents to the offspring.

Further Explanation:

Traits refer to the characters that are present or expressed by the organism. Some of the traits are inherited while others are acquired during the lifetime of an individual.

Inheritance is the term which is used to refer to the condition when certain traits are passed on from the parents to offspring.

Offspring are more similar to their parents than to others as the genes that encode a protein and ultimately lead to the expression of traits that are passed on from parents to offspring.

The physical trait that confers an organism’s ability to access food supply is likely to pass from parents to their next generation. Example: Giraffe having a long neck can easily eat leaves from tall trees so they pass on this trait to their offspring also.

Match the following organs and organ systems. 1.digestive system brain 2.central nervous system tracheal system 3.respiratory sy
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The correct macthing of the organs with their organ systems is as follows.

1. Digestive system - intestines.

2. Central nervous system - brain.

3. Respiratory system - tracheal system.

4. Excretory system - bladder.

Digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal consisting of the digestive organs and the glands. Among the digestive organs, the intestines play a major role in the process of digestion. The small intestine is the site of complete digestion which is associated with the pancreas and liver. The large intestine is involved the absorption of water from the digested food and remaining waste material is stored and thrown out of the body during defecation.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain makes the largest part and the functional of the central nervous system. It controls most of the activities of the body. It is made up of three parts called the cerebrum, cerebellum and medualla oblongata and is protected by the skull.

The respiratory system is divided into the upper respiratory tract consisting of the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli. The trachea or the wind pipe is a cylindrical tube infront of the oesophagus, supported by 16-20 C-shaped hyaline cartilage. It serves as a passage for air to move in and out of the lungs.

The excretory system is made up of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, an urinary bladder and an urethra. The urine produced by the kidney flows through the ureters and is collected in the urinary bladder. A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.

Limestone formations in caves are considered what kind of weathering
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Chemical weathering

Explanation:

Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.

Chemical weathering involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions between minerals such as calcite with water and gases in the atmosphere (e.g. carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide). The solution of soluble minerals is particularly important in limestone landscapes.

Solutional caves or karst caves are the most frequently occurring caves. Such caves form in rock that is soluble; most occur in limestone, but they can also form in other rocks including chalk, dolomite, marble, salt, and gypsum.

Essentially, water reacts with carbon-dioxide to form carbonic acid. It then seeps slowly through the roof of the cave, depositing calcium carbonate, which hardens and builds up over time to form a stalactite.
