Answer: As the mass of star increases, the temperature and luminosity also increases.

Explanation:

This can be described in what happens in main sequence star( example, the Sun), which is powered by fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core. Main sequence star exhibit a common characteristic which is hydrostatic equilibrium. This means,the inward force of gravity, which tends to compress the star, is balanced by the outward force due to the pressure. Thus when an extra mass such as hydrogen is added to its core, there will be increase in mass which leads to a higher compression. This in turn will lead to central density and temperature. As the temperature increases, fusion of gases occurs faster resulting to a much higher luminosity. I hope this helps, thanks.

Answer:

Environmental Resistance

Explanation:

Environmental resistance can be defined as all the factors including physical factors, chemical factors and environmental factors including biotic and abiotic factors (e.g drought, mineral deficiencies, and competition) limiting the life forms of an organism or kind of organism and impose a restriction on their numerical increase. These factors limit the growth of species in a population.

Answer:

When we talk about the inheritance of traits, or the passage of traits from parents to future generations down the line, we are not just talking about the visual (phenotypical) expression of those traits, but also, their underlying explanation, which is the genotype. A genotype is basically how the genes of the parents combine in such a way that the children inherit a set of traits from the parents, and express them phenotypically, or not.

In the case of blood types, we have four phenotypic groups: A, B and O. Each one of these types is characterized by the underlying set of genes that are responsible for what is expressed. While the O blood type presents a genotype ii, which is recessive, the A and B types will have the following genetic patterns: Ia Ia, or, Ia i (characteristic of the O genetic material) for the A type and: Ib Ib, or Ib i, for the B type. When there is a genetic conjugation from parents genetic material, regarding blood type, we would have these sets of genes combining. In most of the possible combinations genetically speaking, we have the recessive i gene appearing, including in the A and B dominant blood types. This means that when crossed, there will always be a chance of at least one offspring presenting the O blood type, even if one of the parents is dominant A, or B.

In answer: it is the fact that all three types present the recessive allele i, typical of the O blood type, that when pairings of genes happen between parents, the genetic characteristic of the O type may present itself in a dominant fashion, instead of the usual recessive pattern.
