<h2>c) option is correct</h2>

Explanation:

Melanin causes skin pigmentation, lowers the skin's ability to make vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure and some studies show that older adults with darker skin are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency

If there is lighter skin tones of people, it implies that the amount of Vitamin D is more in those people and skin of those people have the ability to process vitamin D from the sun

Your friend brings you rocks with a thick layer of oxidation weathering, and no other visible signs of weathering. this is a clu
Vsevolod [243]
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological. For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options. A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water. * Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice. A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. * Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice. A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation. * Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice. A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process. * Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>

Explain how the biosphere facilities movement of water from the geosphere to the atomosphere.
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explain how the biosphere facilitates movement of water from the geosphere to the atmosphere. The biosphere includes all living components of the Earth. ... Water from the plants is incorporated into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration, where water from the plant evaporates and enters the atmosphere.

Which type of mutation stops the translation of the mRNA?
Gre4nikov [31]

If a substitution changes the amino acid to a “stop,” it's called a NONSENSE mutation. frameshift, missense, silent or nonsense (hint: deletion or insertion will always be frameshift). Sickel cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule.
