Answer:

C. It takes millions of years to form.

Explanation:

Oil, natural gas, and coal are collectively called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead plants and animals over millions of years—hence the name “fossil” fuels. They are found in underground layers of rock and sediment. Pressure and heat worked together to transform the plant and animal remains into crude oil (also known as petroleum), coal, and natural gas.

Each of the four pedigrees that follow represents a human family within which a genetic disease is segregating. Affected individ

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The following four traits are -:

Pedigree 1 - A recessive trait (autosomal recessive) is expressed by pedigree 1.
Pedigree 2- Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2.
Pedigree 3 - The inheritance of the dominant trait (autosomal dominant) is illustrated by Pedigree 3.
Pedigree 4- An X-like dominant trait is expressed by Pedigree 4.

Explanation:

Explaination of each pedigree chart-

Pedigree 1 demonstrates the recessive trait since their children have been affected by two unaffected individuals. If the characteristics were X-linked, in order to have an affected daughter, I-1 would have to be affected. $X^A$ In this, both parents are autosomal recessive trait carriers, so the child will be affected by a 1/4 (aa)
Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2. This is X-related inheritance as autosomal recessive inheritance has already been accounted for in part 1. This inference is confirmed by evidence showing that the father (I-1) is unaffected and that only the sons exhibit the characteristic in generation II, suggesting that the mother must be the carrier. The individual I-2 is a carrier for this X-linked trait. A typical Xa chromosome is attached to the unaffected father (I-1), so the chance of carrier II-5 is 1/2. Probability of an affected son = 1/2 (probability II-5 is a carrier) x 1/2 (probability II -5 contributes ( $X^A$ ) x 1/2 (probability of Y from father II-6) = 1/8. An affected daughter's likelihood is 0 because a typical $X^A$ must be contributed by II-6.
The inheritance of the dominant trait is demonstrated by Pedigree 3 because affected children still have affected parents (remember that all four diseases are rare). The trait must be autosomal dominant because it is passed down to the son by the affected father. There is a 1/2 risk that the heterozygous mother (II-5) would pass on mutant alleles to a child of either sex for an autosomal dominant feature.
Pedigree 4 is an X-linked dominant function characterized by the transmission to all of his daughters from the affected father but none of his son. On the mutant X chromosome, the father (I-1) passes on to all his daughters and none of his sons. As seen by his normal phenotype, II-6 therefore does not bear the mutation. An affected child's likelihood is 0.

Circulating throughout the body, adh arrives at the ____________ of the kidneys.

gogolik [260]

Circulating throughout the body, adh arrives at the nephrons of the kidneys, Nephrons are the basic microscopic functioning unit of the kidneys. Our kidneys consist of millions of nephrons.
ADH stands for anti-diuretic hormone and it is also known as vasopressin and it is secreted by the pituitary gland and it helps the kidney to maintain the water in the body.

In the graph, a sample of water is heated from 40 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius. Which statement correctly describes th

Vladimir [108]

(Next time please insert a picture of The graph regarding to your question)

Answer: The answer is (A)

Explanation:

QR- Liquid Only

RS- Phase Change Liquid-Gas

ST-Gas Only

This graph does not begin in the solid phase of water. It begins at 40 degrees Celsius in the liquid phase. Plateaus are phase changes. In this case, it’s a phase change from liquid to gas.

3. Explain the difference between the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Goshia [24]

Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. And the greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.
