The correct answer is option C, that is, physical weathering.  

The weathering resulting due to the influences of changing temperatures on a rock, making the rock to split apart is known as physical weathering. There are two main kinds of physical weathering, that is, exfoliation and freeze-thaw.  

Physical weathering takes place mainly in the locations, where few plants grow and little formation of soil occurs, like hot deserts and mountain regions. It takes place either via repeated freezing and melting of water or via contraction and expansion of the rocks surface layer, which is baked by the sun.

What are the phases of meiosis where crossing over occur
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Prophase 1

Explanation:

Prophase I :It can be divided into five stages:

1)Leplotene: In this stage, chromosome becomes visible and shorten as a single structure.

2)Zygotene: Homologous / sister chromosome pair up. This process is known as synapse. Synapse is the process of attachment of homologous /sister chromosome. One pair comes from the male parent while the other comes from the female parent.

3)Pachytene: Bivalents shorten.

4)Diplotene:Point of attachment of non-sister chromatids. The two chromosomes are seen to be joined at several points along their length. These points are known as Chiasmata.(Chiasmata, a cross). The paternal gene A, B, C may swap for the maternal gene a, b, c for instance, leading to a new gene combination in the resulting chromatids. This is referred to as *CROSSING OVER*.

5)Diakenesis: Homologous centromere move apart.

So, crossing over occurs in *Prophase 1.

A Church spire in a form of a regular hexagonal pyramid whose base edge is 8ft and whose altitude is 75ft is to be painted at a
ollegr [7]
Given:
base edge - 8 ft
altitude or height - 75 ft

Surface area = [(3√3)/2] a² + 3a[√h² + (3a²/4)]
S.A = 2.6*8² + 3(8) * √75² + [(3*8²)/4]
S.A = 166.4 + 24 * √5625 + 48
S.A = 166.4 + 24 * √5674
S.A = 166.4 + 24 * 75.33
S.A = 166.4 + 1807.92
S.A = 1974.32 ft²

convert square feet to square yard.

1 sq ft = 0.1111 sq yd

1974.32 ft² * 0.1111 sq.yd/sq.ft = 219.35 sq yd.

22 per sq. yard

219.35 sq. yard * $22/sq.yd = $4,825.70

Total cost is $4,825.70

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

A teacher thinks that students do better on tests when they get to write essays instead of multiple choice. He thinks this because the students can explain their reasoning. On multiple choice questions, students cannot do that and he cannot give students partial credit. The teacher gives one class multiple choice questions and the other essay questions. He compares the scores after each class. Identify the: INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, DEPENDENT VARIABLE, HYPOTHESIS, EXPERIMENTAL GROUP, and CONTROL GROUP.

Essay question is the independent variable while the multiple choice is dependent variable. The hypothesis remains the fact that his thought about students performance in essay questions better than multiple choice questions, experimental group remains both essay and multiple choice questions and the control group is the essay question
