Answer:
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still has the properties of that element.
Atoms are made of three particles. protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Explanation:
Answer:
If the two magnets have their two N poles pointing up then when they are side by side they will repel each other but when they are head-to-tail they will attract.
Explanation:
so a positive and a negative will attract
Disruptive selection describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.
Global air circulation cells move air "clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern hemisphere".
<u>Answer:</u> Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
Global circulation is defined as the global connection of winds, through which the requisite heat transport from tropical latitudes to polar latitudes carried out. Each hemisphere comprises with three cells, such as Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cell, air circulation take place in this through the complete depth of the troposphere.
The worldwide circulation cells allow passage of air in clockwise pattern in the northern hemisphere while in southern hemisphere circulate in counter-clockwise pattern from equator to poles but in different directions and at different latitudes.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
This is a monohybrid cross between involving a gene coding for earlobe. The allele for free earlobe (F) is dominant over that of attached earlobe (f).
N.B: let F represent the gene involved.
A genotypic ratio is the ratio derived from the offsprings based on the actual genetic make-up and not based on their phenotypic appearance as in phenotypic ratio.
A homozygous individual is an individual having the same kind of alleles for a gene while a heterozygous individual is one that has two different alleles i.e. combination of the dominant and recessive allele.
The monohybrid cross is between an individual with attached earlobe (ff) i.e. homozygous recessive individual. (Note that, a recessive trait will only be expressed in a homozygous state) and a heterozygous free earlobeb individual (Ff). (See attached picture). Ff × ff
The resulting four offsprings will
be expected to have only two distinct genotypes i.e heterozygous (Ff) and homozygous recessive (ff) in an equal ratio i.e. 2:2 ~ 1:1
