Answer is C. The man is twenty thousand (2 x 10⁴) times larger than the paramecium.

1 meter (m) = 10⁶ micrometers (µm)

Therefore, 1.7 m = 1.7 × 10⁶ µm

Thus, the length of the man compared to the length of the paramecium will be

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2× 10⁴ .  

Therefore, length of the man is  2× 10⁴ times larger than the length of the paramecium.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The given question requires the knowledge of the standard unit meter. By convention, the meter can be converted into micrometers in order to come to the conclusion. 1 meter is equal to 10⁶ micrometers. Thus, 1.7 meters = 1.7 × 10⁶ micrometers.  

There is a need to divide the height of the man with the length of the paramecium, which is 85 micrometers long.  

Therefore, the length of the man in comparison to the length of the paramecium will be:  

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2 × 10⁴

Hence, the length of the man is 2 × 10⁴ times larger in comparison to the length of the paramecium.

In dry desert areas poor drainage can lead to a buildup of salt in water supplies. A student performed an investigation to study
saul85 [17]

Answer:

B. food production

Explanation:

In the example above described, salinity conditions (3%) completely prevented radicle development (0 mm). Salinity conditions may alter plant development by inhibiting the uptake of nitrogen, and by limiting water intake. Moreover, it has been shown that the excessive accumulation of chloride ions in plant cells may have toxic effects on plant growth, causing ionic stress and thus leading to nutrient deficiency.

Mendel accounted for the observation that traits that had disappeared in the f1 generation reappeared in the f2 generation by pr
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Option C,  traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.

Explanation:

Complete question-

Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that

Select one:

a. new mutations were frequently generated in the F2 progeny, "reinventing" traits that had been lost in the F1.

b. the mechanism controlling the appearance of traits was different between the F1 and the F2 plants.

c. traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.

d. the traits were lost in the F1 due to dominance of the parental traits.

e. members of the F1 generation had only one allele for each trait, but members of the F2 had two alleles for each trait.

Solution -

In the Mendel’s experiment, some traits which were absent in the F1 generation appeared in the second generation cross. By this he concluded, that the traits exressed in the F1 generation were dominant and hence they capped the expression of traits associated witl recessive allele. He classified the traits in F2 generation as recessive, because these traits can occur only when they are in pair i.e they form individuals with homozygous recessive genotype.  

For instance – If “R” is allele for dominant red color trait and “r” is the allele for recessive white color trait, then the cross between true breeding red flowers and white flowers will produce following offspring  

RR * rr

Rr, Rr, Rr, Rr

Thus, in F1 generation all the offspring are heterozygous red

F2 generation-  

Rr * Rr

RR, Rr, Rr, rr

The recessive trait of white colored flower reappears in second generation.

Hence, option C is correct
