Answer:

C

Explanation:

White eyes (r) are recessive to Red (R).  a) Rr x RR produces 50% RR and 50% Rr, both express with red eyes so there can be no white eyed offspring.   b) RR x RR produces all RR, red eyes so there can be no white eyed offspring.  c) rr x Rr produces Rr, rr, Rr, rr.  50% white, 50% red which is close to the generation given.  d) Rr x Rr produces RR, Rr, Rr, rr: 75% Red, 25% white. not as close to the data as c.

Which phrases describe radioactive elements? Check all that apply.
svp [43]

A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.

The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-

They have a consistent number of particles - the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.

They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.

Explanation for other options:

Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.
