What happens to the precipitation that reaches land? Select all that apply

Biology

The correct answers are: All of them.

- Runs off into the ocean;

The parts of the land that are close to the ocean, and are leaned towards it, especially if it is a more rocky landscape, when receiving precipitation, the water runs off directly into the ocean, though this is happening only on a relatively small area.

- Runs off into the streams and rivers;

Most of the precipitation on the land, ends up in the closest streams and rivers which increase their volume and carry the water further downstream.

- Enters the water table of groundwater;

Part of the precipitation managed to get through the soil and the rocks, and enters deeper, eventually reaching the underground reservoirs and filling them, thus contributing to the levels of the groundwater.

- Taken up from shallow soil by plants;

The plants need water for survival, so when there's precipitation, through their roots (some through their leaves), are taking water from the soil, thus spending part of it for their own needs.

The city of Los Angeles wants to know if there is a connection between physical fitness and air pollution. Fifty volunteers from
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber

Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles

Independent variable: exposure to air pollution

Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.

N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).

In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).

The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.

How is a trait passed down from parents to offspring USE OWN WORDS
artcher [175]
A trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. We represent these gene pairs by writing a combination of two letters. For example, if one parent contributes a gene for blue eyes (c), and other parent contributes a gene for brown eyes(C), then we write the offspring’s eye color trait as Cc. This combination, of the two genes that determine the trait, is called a genotype. If gene pair contains a dominant allele, the the offspring will show this dominant trait

Can you create a punnett square for this question?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is 50%.

Explanation:

In the given question, the table says that fruit color is determined by the incomplete dominance of allele R and R'. In the case of RR genotype the fruit color will be red and R'R' the food color will be yellow but in the heterozygous condition the color would be orange, so the cross between RR' and R'R' would be as follow:

Punnett square:

      R       R'

R'    RR'   R'R'

R'    RR'   R'R'

It is found by the given cross that the cross between RR' and R'R' would form two orange fruit plants out of four which is 50%
