Answer:

Mineralization

Explanation:

The phosphates play a very important role and keeps on transferring from the rocks to the soil, plants, water, and organism, maintaining a cycle known as the phosphorous cycle.

During rainfall, the rocks comprised of phosphorous are weathered, as a result of which these phosphate ions are carried away with the sediments and water. Some of them are stored in the soil, which is again absorbed by the plants. The remaining flow with the water and eventually ends up in the oceans and seas.  

In the oceans, the marine organisms then consume this phosphate, which leads to the formation of shells comprised of phosphate, and after their death, these shells are deposited on the bottom of the seafloor.

This process is known as mineralization. It is a process in which the inorganic materials are precipitated into a matrix that is organic in nature.

Answer: Mineralization

Explanation: Phosphorous cycle moves through the rocks, water, soil, sediments and organisms.

The weathering of rock releases phosphate ions and other minerals. Plants take up the phosphate from the soil. Phosphorous is present in the form of organic phosphate which is broken down by the help of microorganism in the form of inorganic phosphate.

This process is known as mineralization.

List the events of inspiration beginning with stimulation of the phrenic nerves
Andru [333]
The events of inspiration begins with the;
Impulses are conducted on the phrenic nerve to muscle fibers in the diaphragm contracting them.
As the dome shaped diaphragm moves downward the thoracic cavity expands.
At the same time the external intercostal muscles may contract raising the ribs and expanding the thoracic cavity further.
The intra-alveolar pressure decreases 
Atmospheric pressure greater than intra-alveolar pressure forces the air into the respiratory tract through the air passages.
The lungs fill with air.

pishuonlain [190]
<h2>Cannon -Bard theory</h2>

Explanation:

  • Alone in the woods, Pedro hears a noise. He thinks he sees a bear coming toward him. His heart starts pounding and then, a moment later, he realizes how frightened he is. This sequence of events is BEST explained by the <u>Cannon-Bard t</u>heory of emotion.

According to Cannon-Bard theory, all the emotional expressions occur due to the stimulation of hypothalamic structures present in brain. This theory also states that feeling and physiological effects of an emotional stimuli occurs simultaneously.

Here, James thinks that a bear is coming, this is a stimulus. His heart starts pounding that is the physiological effect of the stimulus and the next moment he feels frightened which is a feeling.

So we conclude that in this case, the physiological effect and feeling of emotion occurred simultaneously. So these sequence of events is best explained  by Cannon-Bard's theory.

Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in guinea pigs. An F1 cross was conducted and resulted in 100% heterozygous guinea pi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.

If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:

Bb = B and b

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs

bb = white fur guinea pigs
