Which sentence best explains why ocean water near the equator is warmer than ocean water far from the equator? A.Due to Earth's

rotation, gyres near the poles flow clockwise. B.Deep-sea vents pump steam into the conveyor belt near the equator. C.The sun's rays strike the water at an angle at the poles. D.The water is denser and saltier near the equator, so it holds more heat.

Answer: C. The sun's rays strikes the water at an angle at the poles.

Because the earth rotates at a tilted axis which causes the difference in temperature of water near the equator and water far from equator.  The equator receives direct light from sun the tilted axis prevents the poles from receiving direct sunlight but it receives at an angle.Tilt also causes other effects like extreme length of day and night at polar region.

What is one similarity between natural selection and artificial selection?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

B- environmental factors do most of the “selecting.”

Explanation:

Natural selection is the environment that the organism lives in, and the process which that organism changes by.

Artificial selection is when humans intervene and create an organism that isn't suited for their specific environment, but rather for the humans own liking.

Think of breeding dogs to be smaller, or more fluffy and adorable. These are not traits to help them survive in where they original environment was.

What is the role of a lipid molecule, which atoms make up most lipids, how does the lipids structure relate to its function.
Alisiya [41]

Answer and explanation;

-All lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Some of them also contain nitrogen and phosphorus. The four main classes of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, and phospholipids. Fats are triglycerides.

-The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.

-Lipids are water-insoluble (hydrophobic), and this property is put to great use in the organisation of cells and tissues.

For example; phospholipids are a class of lipids that is amphipathic; that is it contains fatty acid tails that are hydrophobic, and a phosphate head that is hydrophilic. This means the phosphate group will orientate itself towards water and away from the rest of the molecule, and also gives rise to the special properties that allow phospholipids to be used to form membranes.

The number of possible genetically different gametes for an organism equals
masya89 [10]

The organism can produce 12 genetically different gametes.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The gametes are the unit of sexual reproduction which are produced by an organism from their germ mother cell by means of meiosis. This gametes do carry half the amount of total chromosomes that is present inside each cell of that organism. This process let's the genetic combinations of chromosomes to get more variations among offsprings. But this isn't the only source of variation among the offsprings.

Each and every germ mother cell that's undergoing the meiotic division undergoes a process called crossing over and chaismata formation which gives the genetic mixing among the different alleles of same character among the organism.

Thus, statistically, if the organism has n pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 2n number of genetically different gametes which helps in finding out the probability of genotype of the offsprings.

So if the organism has 6 pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 12 genetically different gametes.

Dominant: the more common trait (brown hair)

Recessive: a trait that doesn't show up unless both parents carry it (blue eyes)

Co- dominant: both traits show up and co- exist (AB blood)

Incomplete dominance: when a dominant gene does not completely mask a recessive gene so they blend (pink flower)

Phenotype: physical trait- able to be seen (stripes on a zebra)

Genotype: genetic makeup of an organism - genetic trait

Hetrozygous: different (Bb)

Homzygous dominant: same and dominant (bb) and (BB)

Purebred: same as homzygous- has same alleles (bb) and (BB)

Hybrid: also known as heterozygous traits
