DENIUS [597]3 years ago

Answer:

 The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization is responsible for most of the variation that arises each generation during sexual reproduction. Independent assortment of chromosomes contributes to genetic variability due to the random orientation of tetrads at the metaphase plate. or Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote. Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase I .

What purpose do control rods serve in a nuclear power plant?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

To absorb neutrons before the neutrons can initiate more fusion reactions.

Explanation:

Control rods, usually made of compounds like graphite, absorb neutrons and prevent them from going everywhere and bombarding other molecules of the radioactive compound being used, usually U-238, and prevent a chain reaction from starting. When U-238 is bombarded with a neutron, it releases 3 others, which hit 3 molecules of U-238, releasing 27 neutrons in total, and so on. This must be controlled, otherwise an uncontrolled chain reaction could easily become highly explosive (Nuclear bombs that utilise U-238 use this principle to cause a chain reaction at a larger scale that releases huge amounts of energy that cause the initial explosion when the atom bomb is detonated).

C) Blue parrots probably are the best adapted species to live on farms.

D) The blue parrot population has likely increased in the last 200 years.


The answer is B. This is because the graph shows the highest number of green parrots in the 'deep forest' category of environment, whereas the numbers in the 'grassland' and 'scrub forest' are less. Since the forested area in Brazil has decreased rapidly, this means that the preferred environment of the green parrot has decreased, probably resulting in a decline in the green parrot population
