How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?

Phenotypically and genotypically there are only two different ratios. If you think of a Punett square...

You could say that a pea plant with the trait for the dominant color green (G) could also carry the recessive trait for yellow (g). So let's say you mate a dominant green, (Gg) with another dominant green, (Gg). You would get 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 2 (gg). 

Phenotypically (as in physical traitwise), the ratio is 3:1 because you have 3 green colored peas and one yellow. 

Genotypically (as in traitwise), the ratio is 1:2:1, because you have 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 1 (gg). 

So although it's random, for any specific trait there are only 4 different outcomes.

Answer:

e) a drive

Explanation:

We felt thirsty when we have fluid imbalance in our body either we have less water or we have more concentration of osmolytes such as sodium in blood. The brain detect the change produce the effect for the intake of water.

However thirst is a vital primordial emotion that motivates us for fluid intake. So the emotion produces a drive to quench it.
Some recent studies refers it as basic instinct to drink water.

How does a metallic bod differ from an ionic bond?

Answer: In an ionic bond the valence electrons are transferred from the metal only to the neighboring nonmetal, but in metallic bonding the valence electrons of each atom/ion are free to move or float around within the entire metal solid.

Which two kinds of information can scientists gather using radar?

makkiz [27]

The correct answers are C. Amount of rainfall, and D. Wind speed.

Explanation

Radars are instruments that were created by humans to detect objects, people, places, among others, through signals. Radars are devices used in different fields such as war, aviation, climatology, geography, among others. One of the best known is the Doppler radar, which is a climatological tool that is used to detect the intensity, size, quantity, and direction of rainfall. Likewise, rainfall is influenced by the direction and speed of the wind, data that can also be obtained using this tool. One of the purposes for which this object was created was the early detection of natural phenomena related to rains, and winds such as hurricanes, electric storms, hail, among others. Therefore, the two objects that scientists can obtain with a radar are C. Amount of rainfall, and D. Wind speed.
