Answer:

(B) Abortion, abandonment, and infanticide of males occur regularly.

Explanation:

China's one child policy was formed in 1979 with the aim to curb the increasing population of the country. Considered world's one of the most controversial methods to control population, it permitted couples to have only one child. As the traditional Chinese society preferred male child over female child, one child policy especially hit a blow to female population. Parents started to abort or abandon females because they wanted to have a male child and government did not allow a second child.

This move created a huge imbalance in sex ratio. Number of males increased drastically with respect to number of women. Males were not aborted and did not face abandonment as they were highly valued in society. The program was relaxed in 2013 and allowed rural couples and ethnic minorities to have 2 children and it was finally scraped off in 2015.

Does a dog like me? Is scientific or nonscientific

Basile [38]

Answer:

Non scientific.

Explanation:

Whether or not a dog likes you cannot be truly proven, and is more of a subjective query. A dog cannot really like or dislike a person. They can trust or not, they can be loyal or not, dominating or not, and such things, but “like” is an extremely opinionated term.

The diagram shows a simple lipid.

Evgesh-ka [11]

The correct answer is option A, that is, saturated.

The mentioned lipid is not a phospholipid, as it does not comprise a phosphate group at the terminal of the chain, and is not a triglyceride due to the absence of glycerol moiety.

Each carbon combined with the hydrogens forms the maximum number of possible C-H bonds, thus, there are no multiple bonds between the carbons. Hence, it can be concluded that the lipid is saturated.

The distribution of melanosomes in cells is tightly regulated in animals that rapidly change color. dark-colored cells have mela

kipiarov [429]

Microtubules originate on the centre of the cell taking the positive end to the periphery of the cell, while the negative end remains turned to the centre of the cell. The melanosomes move along these microtubules using motor proteins desiganted kinesins and dyneins. The kinesins are responsible for moving the melanosomes to the positive end of the microtubule (periphery of the cell) generating dark-colored cells, whereas dyneins move the melanosomes to the negative end of the microtubule (centre of the cell) generating light-colored cells.
