3 ...The greatest curiosity of the study remains to be mentioned; it was a ponderous folio volume, bound in black leather, with

massive silver clasps. There were no letters on the back, and nobody could tell the title of the book. But it was well known to be a book of magic; and once, when a chambermaid had lifted it, merely to brush away the dust, the skeleton had rattled in its closet, the picture of the young lady had stepped one foot upon the floor, and several ghastly faces had peeped forth from the mirror; while the brazen head of Hippocrates frowned, and said,--"Forbear!" What is the meaning of the phrase ponderous folio volume as it is used in paragraph 3 of the passage? A) a storage trunk B) a very large, heavy book C) a strange, unusual object D) something that is forbidden

Answer:

B) a very large, heavy book

Explanation:

“Ponderous folio volume” as used in the paragraph in the passage connotes a somewhat large, and heavy book that is voluminous. From the description that follows, we can tell what is being described is a book that is huge, given that it is “bound in black leather, with massive silver clasps”. So, therefore, the most likely meaning of the phrase “ponderous folio volume”, considering the available options given, is “B) a very large, heavy book”

Mendel used single gene (or monohybrid) experiments to describe his law of segregation. He used _______ characters (or dihybrid)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Law of Independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, who was regarded the father of Genetics, discovered principles that governs inheritance in his experiments. He discovered that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes when he performed a crossed involving a single gene or character like height, pea color etc. He proposed his law of segregation based on this.

However, he considered two characters or genes in his cross, which he called a DIHYBRID cross. He discovered that the alleles of each different gene separates into gametes independently of one another i.e. without one gene influencing the other in each gamete. He called this principle his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

He obtained a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the F2 dihybrid offsprings which is only possible if each gamete equally likely contains two alleles of the two different genes in different combinations.

How can rock layers tell the geologic history of an area
lapo4ka [179]

<span>Studying the changes in densities of pocket gophers when large herbivores such as elk are excluded from mountain forests would be an example of studying ecology at the community level.
A community refers to a group of organisms of various species that live in the same location and interact with each other. So, if this scientist is observing gophers and elks, they are looking at the level of communities, not anything more or less.
