A scientist has correctly gone through all the possible steps in a dichotomous key, but has not identified an insect. Which most

likely describes why he did not identify the insect? The scientist must have made a mistake. The insect might be an unknown variation or a new species. The organism evolved during identification. The dichotomous key had too many questions.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The insect might be an unknown variation or a new species.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A dichotomous key is a biological tool that is used by scientists to identify unknown organisms. It is used to identify organisms in an ecosystem such as trees, mammals, fish, etc.
  • <em><u>Dichotomous key consist of a series of steps or statements about a specific characteristics of organisms that leads to the correct name of a given organism.</u></em>
  • <em><u>If the scientist went through all the possible steps correctly in a dichotomous key and was unable to identify the insect, it means the insect might have been unknown variation or a new species.</u></em>

A longshore current flowing southwards along a coast will primarily transport sediments
babunello [35]

Southwards parallel to the shoreline.

A geological course that is made up of the movement of sediments like silt, clay, shingle and sandd within a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is reliant on oblique approaching wind direction is called longshore drift. Oblique incoming wind restraints water along the coast, and so creates a water current which moves parallel to the coast.

How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?
levacccp [35]
Phenotypically and genotypically there are only two different ratios. If you think of a Punett square... 

<span>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). </span>

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

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

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