<u>Answer:</u>
Angle of inclination is the independent variable.
Distance covered by the rolling ball is the dependent variable.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An independent variable is the one whose variation is not dependent on the value of any other variable while dependent variable changes its value with a change in the independent variable.
In this experiment, angle of inclination (angle between a line and the x-axis) is an independent variable whereas the the distance covered by the rolling ball is a dependent variable which will vary with a change in angle of inclination.
<span>Certainly. Every organism has a variety of different characteristics. One person writing a key might choose to use different characteristics than another person would use.
For example: Here's a key for separating fish, snake, frog and mouse
1.
A. Has scales on its skin ... 2
B. Has no scales on its skin ... 3
2.
A. Breathes with gills - fish
B. Breathes with lungs - snake
3.
A. Has hair or fur - mouse
B. Has no hair or fur - frog
Here's a different key for the same four animals:
1.
A. Has four legs ... 2
B. Does not have 4 legs ... 3
2.
A. is warm-blooded - mouse
B. is cold-blooded - frog
3.
A. has fins - fish
B. has no fins - snake</span>
Answer:
Point-source pollutants.
Explanation:
Point-source pollutants are emitted from single identifiable sources. For instance, untreated waste water from a particular oil refinery or factory is a point-source pollutant.
Alleles are versions of a gene that will express different qualities. Multiple alleles would mean that a gene has many variations; for example, there a multiple alleles for eye color: blue, green, brown, etc. The opposite would be a gene with just two variations; an example would be simple pea plants which can have smooth or wrinkled pods.
Hope this helps!!
Answer: There is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit Huntington's disease
Explanation:
Huntington's disease is expressed by a dominant allele.
Since the father is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, his genotype would be as follows:Hh
Even though he carries a normal allele, the dominant allele is disease causing and thus masks the effects of the normal allele, therefore he expresses the disease.
The mother does not have Huntington's because she is homozygous recessive, in other words, she carries 2 copies of the normal alleles.with the genotype hh.
If you do a punnet square, and you cross the mother and father, the following genotypes can be produced:
Hh, Hh, hh, hh
Therefore, there's a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the disease causing allele and 50% chance that the offspring will not inherit it.
