Answer:

The greatest changes to the path and strength of the Gulf Stream might be caused by an increase in the volume of river water that flows into the Gulf of Mexico (Option B)

Explanation:

The North Atlantic current or Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico forward Europe, providing a relative template clime in most of the European occident.

Ocean streams are sensitive to the amount of freshwater available on the surface. An increase in overflow and precipitation over the ocean could slow or revert the north Atlantic current, blocking warm water flow to Europe.

The deposition of freshwater could cause a temporal deceleration or total collapse of the North Atlantic Current, and this interruption might lead to very cold periods in the North Atlantic.

Quincy has type B blood.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

IBi and IBIB

Explanation:

Blood group in humans is determined by a single gene with three alleles (iA, iB and i). Alleles iA and iB are both dominant over i. This means that i allele will only be expressed in a homozygous state.

In the ABO blood group system, individuals will possess the following blood types when they possess the following genotypes:

Type A- iAiA or iAi

Type B- iBiB or iBi

Type O- ii

Alleles iA and iB are codominant, this means that they both phenotypically express themselves when combined as neither is dominant or recessive to the other. Hence, in an heterozygous state;

iAiB, the blood type of the individual will be Type AB.

Following this, Quincy with a type B blood will possess an allelic combination of iBiB (homozygous) or iBi (heterozygous) in her genotype.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Describe the three different types of bipedalism. For each one, be sure to discuss the frequency of bipedal locomotion, describe the extent of bipedal adaptations, provide at least one sample primate who practices this type of bipedalism, and describe why the sample primate uses this form of bipedalism.

frozen [14]
<span>Answer:
A. Sodium  =1
B. Magnesium =2
C. Aluminum =3
D. Silicon =4
</span>
Fluorine is a halogen group that needs 1 more electron to become stable. When it forms a compound with other, the number of fluor atoms depends on the valence electron of the couple. Sodium has 1 valence electron while magnesium has 2, aluminum has 3 and silicon has 4
