Evaporation, condensation, precipitation are all part of the water cycle. After the precipitation, the “destiny” of the water is ground water or surface runoff.

Groundwater is the term for all the waters beneath Earth’s surface, that fills in porous spaces in soil, sediment, and rocks. But, when falling rain cannot be absorbed by soil (saturated by water) and become groundwater, it flows over the surface and this is called surface runoff. Groundwater has its zones: vadose zone (right beneath the ground, unsaturated zone), water table (water pressure head is equal to the atmospheric pressure), zone of saturation (saturated with water).

A watershed is the land area that drains into a body of water.

2. Which of the genotypes listed above would provide the strongest evidence that the alleles for blood type are co-dominant? Ple
Ket [755]

Answer:

AB

Explanation:

Blood group is discovered by famous scientist Karl Landsteiner in the year 1990. Co-dominance is the expression of the two alleles in the heterozygotes. In AB type, the two different alleles are present and they are expressed.

However in ABO type, it is govern by three allele namely A, B and O type. If only the antigen A is present, it is called A blood type. When only B antigen is present it is called B blood type and when both A and B are present, it is called AB blood type. And if neither of the antigen are present, it is called the O blood type.

The allele O is of recessive to both the blood type A and B. So a person with O blood type have two copies of O allele. But however A and B blood type are dominant of O, a person with A blood type may have one of the two genotypes --  AO or AA. Similarly, with blood type B, the genotypes are BO or BB.

Compare and contrast the structures of DNA and RNA
katovenus [111]

DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule.

In a species of fish, fin shape is controlled by a single gene that has only two alleles. In a generation of 185 fish, the frequ
scZoUnD [109]

The correct answer is: The recessive allele produces a phenotype that is better able to survive and reproduce than the dominant phenotype.

Natural selection (adaptation mechanism), gene flow, and mutation combine to change allele frequencies across generations. Natural selection tends to increase in frequency beneficial alleles, while it tends to decrease in frequency deleterious alleles.
