Define:

solar system : The Solar System is the gravitationally bound planetary system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, such as the five dwarf planets and small Solar System bodie

big bang theory : The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today

nebular theory : the theory that the solar and stellar systems were developed from a primeval nebula

heavy elements : the Universe starts off with hydrogen and helium, all stars produce helium, and then stars over a certain mass threshold produce carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and lots of heavier elements

composition : solar composition, compared to earlier measurements, are enriched in Fe and Ca relative to Mg, Al, and Si. The Fe/Si and Ca/Al atomic ratios are 30 to 40 percent higher than chondritic values. These changes necessitate a revision in the cosmic abundances and in the composition of the nebula from which the planets accreted (which have been based on chondritic values).

milky way galaxy : The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains the Solar System. The name describes the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye

scale: In astronomy, magnitude is a unitless measure of the brightness of an object in a defined passband, often in the visible or infrared spectrum, but sometimes across all wavelengths. An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus

biosphere : the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

atmosphere : the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.

"part of the sun's energy is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere"

synonyms: air, aerosphere, airspace, sky;

geosphere : any of the almost spherical concentric regions of matter that make up the earth and its atmosphere, as the lithosphere and hydrosphere.

redshift :the displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects. This is interpreted as a Doppler shift that is proportional to the velocity of recession and thus to distance.

cosmic background radiation: The cosmic microwave background (CMB, CMBR), in Big Bang cosmology, is electromagnetic radiation as a remnant from an early stage of the universe, also known as "relic radiation". The CMB is faint cosmic background radiation filling all space. ... This glow is strongest in the microwave region of the radio spectrum.

radioactive decay: Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity or nuclear radiation) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture  

heat of formation: The standard heat of formation is defined as the amount of heat absorbed or evolved at 25° C (77° F ) and at one atmosphere pressure when one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements, each substance being in its normal physical state  

core-mantle: The core–mantle boundary of the Earth lies between the planet's silicate mantle and its liquid iron-nickel outer core. This boundary is located at approximately 2891 km depth beneath the Earth's surface.

"during meiosis, errors occur during chromosome replication. which term describes the rearranging of genetic material between no
Irina18 [472]
The term that describes the rearranging of genetic material between non homologous chromosomes without a net loss or gain of genetic material is Translocation.
Chromosomes translocation is an abnormality that results from the rearrangement of parts between non homologous chromosomes.  A gene fusion may be created when the translocation joins two or else separated genes and is normally detected on karyotype of affected cells.

Help please!! Biology
SOVA2 [1]
The correct answer is C. Males have a y and X chromosome making it easier for them to inherit diseases and mutations. Females have two X chromosomes which means that most of the time, they only carry the mutation rather than have symptoms such as color blindness. I hope this helped!

The punnet square below represents the result of the cross between two tall pea plants.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Genotype is 1:2:1 (1 Homozygous tall, 2 heterozygous tall, 1 homozygous short)

Phenotype ratio is 3:1

The heterozygous Tt and recessive tt could produce short pea plants if they were crossed.

Explanation:

Genotype is the alleles present for a particular gene. In the Punnett square we can see there will be three tall pea plants and one short pea plant but they can be either homozygous or heterozygous.

While phenotype is the exhibited trait by particular allele that is 3 tall pea plants and one small pea plant.

If Tt and tt are crossed 50 per cent chances of short pea plant is there.

Why would it be advantageous to observe mold colonies on an agar plate?
Alika [10]
I think it would be advantageous to observe mold colonies on an agar plate because one is able to observe colony structures, pigmentation, among others.  Colony forming units are the individual colonies of bacteria,yeasts or mold. A colony of bacteria or yeast refers to a mass of individual cells of same organism, growing together.
