Which three statements about electromagnetic radiation are true?

2 answers:

6 0

Light is a form of EM radiation.
EM radiation has no mass (it's just energy packets called photons).
EM radiation can travel through a vacuum. (The speed of light in a vacuum is called c and is around 300,000 m/s).

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Light is a kind of electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation spreads in space. It has a magnetic field and an electric field that generate each other and propagate perpendicularly to each other and in the direction of propagation of energy, thus transporting energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation varies with the frequency of the wave. The light visible to human eyes is electromagnetic radiation, just like x-rays, the only difference between these two forms of radiation is in the frequency range that the human eye can see, that is, x-rays have a frequency range that is out of reach of human vision. The waves in the microwave oven are also electromagnetic waves.

In summary, we can say that:

Light is a kind of electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum.

Which statement about mangrove swamps is true?

matrenka [14]

<span>Mangrove swamp plants are killed by frost. Frost is one of the factors that limit where mangrove swamps can be located. Tropical environments do not get down to freezing temperatures, therefore, mangroves have an easier time surviving in a tropical environment.</span>

In pea plants, height is determined by an allele for tallness (T) that is dominant over an allele for shortness (t). What is the

gogolik [260]

Ans.

Heterozygous organisms show presence of two alternatives alleles for same trait. For plant height, a heterozygous tall plant, will show both the T (for tallness) and t (for shortness) alleles, as T allele is dominant over t allele. When a cross is made between heterozygous tall plants (Tt), there are 50% chances that a randomly selected allele will carry allele for shortness (t) as shown below:

Thus, "the probability that a randomly selected gamete will carry 't' allele in a cross between heterozygous tall pea plants, is 1/2."

How is chromosome inheritance different in sexual reproduction?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

With sexual reproduction, offspring are genetically unique because they get a mix of genes from mom and dad. In sexual reproduction, the male and female reproductive cells are called gametes, or simply the sperm and egg. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the organism.
