6 0

1. Rainforests only cover around 2 percent the total surface area of the Earth, but really about 50 percent of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest.

2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.

3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.

4. Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.

Hope this helps!

Ancient Greek philosophers spent lots of time thinking about science and imaging explanations for the natural world. What part o

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Experiments

Explanation:

The ancient Greek philosophers spent more time philosophising and thinking about scientific explanations to phenomena in the natural world.

How ever, they relied solely on reasoning while attempting to explain scientific observations. Contemporarily, science is highly empirical. The scientific process can only be complete when scientific observations are subjects to rigorous experiments in order go determine the actual relationship between variables and provide better explanation for scientific observations.

Hence the ancient Greek philosophers should have used experiments rather than sole reason in proffering scientific explanations to natural phenomena.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1

Explanation:

The gametes of the parental genotypes would be

ABC, ABc, AbC, aBC, Abc, aBc, abC, abc

The cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc will result into following offspring (image is also attached)

ABC ABc AbC aBC Abc aBc abC abc

ABC AABBCC AABBCc AABbCC AaBBCC AABbCc AaBBCc AaBbCC AaBbCc

ABc AABBCc AABBcc AABbCc AaBBCc AaBbcc AaBBcc AaBbCc AaBbcc

AbC AABbCC AABbCc AAbbCC AaBbCC AAbbCc AaBbCc AabbCC AabbCc

aBC AaBBCC AaBBCc AaBbCC aaBBCC AaBbCc aaBBCc aaBbCC aaBbCc

Abc AABbCc AABbcc AAbbCc AaBbCc AAbbcc AaBbcc AabbCc Aabbcc

aBc AaBBCc AaBBcc AaBbCc aaBBCc AaBbcc aaBBcc aaBbCc aaBbcc

abC AaBbCC AaBbCc AabbCC aaBbCC AabbCc aaBbCc aabbCC aabbCc

abc AaBbCc AaBbcc AabbCc aaBbCc Aabbcc aaBbcc aabbCc aabbcc

The genotype ratio is 27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1
