Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, friction.

Explanation:

In the surface of the ocean, the water gets affected by the winds, which blows in the specific patterns due to the spinning of the Earth at distinct angles. The wind currents possess the tendency enough to affect the motion of the surface layer of the water and the water tides. Thus, it can be said that the friction between the ocean and the wind on its surface results in surface currents.

Why do we feel pain in our hearts when we are sad

Orlov [11]

When people say words hurt is bc your feelings com from your brain and when you feel hurt or sad your brain makes the feeling physical. Like if you are depressed then your brain makes you sleep a lot so that you don't have to feel that pain during the day. Also, people can die from a broken hart bc it isn't your physical hart that is feeling everything it is actually your brain so it makes it self sabotage.

Show how two phenotypically normal parents can produce a male child with color-blindness.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The female (XcX) is carrier for color blindness while the male (XY) is normal. The carrier female transmits its one X chromosome with gene for color blindness to one of her sons making him color blind.

Explanation:

Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder and followed the criss-cross inheritance wherein the color blind sons get the gene from their carrier/affected mother while the color blind father would transmit the gene to his daughters along with X chromosome.

Since both the parents are normal, the mother (XcX) should be carrier for the disease to get the color blind son. A cross between carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY) would make 50% of their sons color blind.
