Answer:

3/8, 1/8, 1/2.

Explanation:

Probability may be defined as the chance of the occurring of a particular event.  

The probability of a girl and a boy is 1/2.

The group of three siblings means there sample size could be

BBB, BGB, BBG, GBB, GGG, GBG, GGB, BGG. ( B = boy and G = girl).

Probability = No. of possible outcome / total outcome.

The probability of exactly two boys = BGB, BBG, GBB = 3/8.

The probability of exactly three boys = BBB = 1/8.

The probability of two boys = BBB, BGB, BBG, GBB = 4/8 = 1/2.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Some bacteria live in the roots of plants like soybeans and peas. What is the role of these bacteria in the nitrogen cycle.
love history [14]

Answer:The nitrogen present in the soil is not directly used by the bacteria. It can be used only when the nitrogen is converted into usable form. These bacteria convert  atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, then nitrite which is then converted into nitrate. This nitrate is used by the roots of the plants like soybeans and peas. This is the role of bacteria present in the roots of the plant to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable form that can be used by plants.

Which type of blood vessel usually carries oxygen-rich blood
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Arteries

Explanation:

There are three main types of blood vessels: veins, arteries, and capillaries. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry the oxygenated blood from the heart to various body parts. Veins pick the deoxygenated blood and deliver it to the heart to be oxygenated.  

Arteries are the blood vessels with thick walls and no valves. Blood is pumped with higher pressure from the heart into arteries. The pulmonary artery is the only exception that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.

____ [38]

Answer:

The reactivity greatens the farther you go down on the periodic table. Lithium will have the weakest reaction, and cesium will have the greatest reaction. Patterns like this are useful to scientists because it shows which elements are the most reactive and which aren't. The farther down and to the left you go within the periodic table, the more reactive the elements become. The farther up and to the right you go, the less reactive they become.
