Answer;

-Permitted the evolution of novel forms

Explanation;

-Hox proteins regulate other genes. Hox genes code for proteins that attach to molecular switches on DNA, turning other genes on and off. The DNA-binding piece of a Hox protein is called the homeodomain, and it's encoded by the homeobox.

-Hox genes are important as they help lay out the basic body forms of many animals, including humans, flies, and worms. They set up the head-to-tail organization.

An apartment complex has a floor plan with the dimensions shown. To effectively air condition a room, 20BTU's (British Thermal U
marysya [2.9K]

The dimensions of the room is not given. Lets assume a value and calculate BTU accordingly.

Answer and Explanation:

BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1° F.

In other words,BTU's measures the amount of heat an AC (or any other cooling unit) can remove from a room per hour. Higher the BTU, the more powerful the cooling.

Calculation:

Lets assume that a room is 10 feet wide and 14 feet long.

  • Step 1

Calculate the size of the room by multiplying the height of the room with its width:

size of the room= 10 × 14

                          = 140 square feet

  • Step 2

Then multiply the size of the room that you obtained in step 1 with 20 BTU per square foot, in order to get the minimum BTU's required for AC to cool a room,

140 × 20= 2800

 2800 BTU cooling capacity is required.

Which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers?
saw5 [17]
The Earth's lithosphere is 100km while astehnosphere is 660km so this statement stands true.

Other statements are false like Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust as Earth’s mantle is around 3k km while its oceanic crust is just 5km.

Also, Earth’s outer core is thicker than its mantle and Earth’s continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere is false as well.
