D.) Is the most sensible answer.
Explanation: I used the process of elimination to solve this. Groundwater recharge sounds too far off of the topic, snow melt is...well...melting snow, infiltration also has nothing to do with the subject, but surface runoff is the only one that makes sense, is on topic, and seems to have a meaning similar to the occurrences describes in your question.
Answer:
12 : 3 : 1
white : yellow : green
Explanation:
Given that genes A and B control the fruit colour in following ways:
A_B_ or A_bb = white
aaB_ = yellow
aabb = green
The genes undergo independent assortment so:
AaBb X AaBb =
A_B_ : A_bb : aaB_ : aabb
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
white : white : yellow: green
12 : 3 : 1
Hence, ratio of white : yellow : green is 12: 3: 1
The origin of life<span> on Earth is a set of paradoxes. In order for </span>life<span> to have gotten started, there must have been a genetic molecule something like DNA or RNA capable of passing along blueprints for making proteins, the work horse molecules of </span>life<span>.</span>
Planting the same crop in the same place each year zaps nutrients from the earth and leaves soil weak and unable to support healthy plant growth. Because soil structure and quality is so poor, farmers are forced to use chemical fertilizers to encourage plant growth and fruit production.
