In the above case, rock L and rock F does not undergo contact metamorphism because the rock unit F was only deposited after the intrusion of the rock layer L.  

Explanation:

Contact metamorphism rocks are formed as a result of static thermal metamorphism and high temperature at regions adjacent to hot intrusive igneous rocks within the metamorphic zone called the contact aureole. This takes place either through heat contact or contact alternation metamorphism. When the hot molten magma reaches an already formed rock body, the older rock body will undergo changes due to hot magma infiltration.

In the above case, rock I does not undergo contact metamorphism because the rock unit F deposited earlier in the process.  

The contact metamorphism can occur only within a small radius ( mostly 1-10 km) of the contact aureole which is heated by the hot magma. The heat should be sufficient enough to break the adjacent rocks and change their structure.  The timing of formation of both rocks is also a gradient deciding contact metamorphism between both rocks.

A cell is hypotonic to it’s environment. Where will water move through osmosis?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:   B. Into the cell

Explanation: If a cell is put into a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell. When a cell is put into a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell. And a cell in an isotonic solution water moves into and out of cell at the same time.

A purebred tall pea plant is cross-pollinated with a tall, heterozygous pea plant. Use a Punnett square to determine the probabi
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over the allele for shortness (t). This means that allele T will be expressed over allele t in an heterozygous state.

A purebred tall plant will possess genotype: TT while a heterozygous tall plant will possess genotype: Tt. The two parents will produce the following gametes:

TT- T and T

Tt- T and t

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings with genotypes: TT and Tt in a ratio 1:1 will be produced.

TT offsprings are purebreed tall while Tt offsprings are heterozygous tall. Hence, based on the question, no offsprings of this cross will possess the recessive genotype (tt). This means that 0% of the offsprings of this cross will be short.

Explain how the heliocentric model has been modified with the help of telescopes and probes ?
baherus [9]

Answer:

They collect more information.

Explanation:

The heliocentric model has been modified with the help of telescopes and probes because telescopes and probes collect more accurate information about the solar system and planets. Due to information collected from these instruments, scientists are able to modify the heliocentric model more accurately. So we can conclude that with the help of telescopes and probes, the heliocentric model has been modified.
