Answer:

D . Energy flows from the Sun or from rocks through the primary producers and the successive levels of consumers.

Explanation:

Energy flows only through the sun not the rock because sun is the ultimate source of energy which can be used by the plants for making their own food in the form of glucose during the process of photosynthesis. This plant is then eaten by primary consumer known as herbivore. These primary consumer is eaten by secondary consumer is called carnivores. The tertiary consumer feeds on the secondary consumer and so on. In the end, decomposers feed on the dead bodies of animals and releases nutrients which can be used again by the plants for making food.

Use the mechanisms of meiosis to explain why most mules are sterile.

Tema [17]

Answer:

3. An even number of chromosomes are required for synapsis during prophase I and proper pairing during metaphase

Explanation:

Mules are hybrids of a cross between a female horse and a male donkey. Horses contain 64 chromosomes while donkeys contain 63 chromosomes in their somatic cells respectively. This means that they each produce 32 and 31 chromosomes respectively during meiosis. A mule, hence, contains 32+31= 63 chromosomes in their somatic cells.

This chromosome number in mules are uneven for meiosis to occur because meiotic division requires that an even number of homologous chromosomes pair together in a process called SYNAPSIS during prophase I of meiosis I. This is impossible in a mule because of the uneven number of chromosomes in its cells.

Also, during metaphase of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes need to be properly aligned at the equator for separation to occur. This is also impossible in a mule considering the number of chromosomes that don't add up.

Due to this reason of unevenness in the number of chromosomes present in a mule, meiosis will not occur and if meiosis (gamete formation) does not occur, reproduction cannot take place. Therefore, the mule is a sterile species i.e. cannot produce offsprings via sexual reproduction.

4. The mass of ball A is 10 kilograms and the mass of ball B is 5 kilograms. If

Nookie1986 [14]

4.) We are told that ball A is travelling from right to left, which we will refer to as a positive direction, making the initial velocity of ball A, +3 m/s. If ball B is travelling in the opposite direction to A, it will be travelling at -3 m/s. The final velocity of A is +2 m/s. Using the elastic collision equation, which uses the conservation of linear momentum, we can solve for the final velocity of B.

MaVai + MbVbi = MaVaf + MbVbf

Ma = 10 kg and Mb = 5 kg are the masses of balls A and B.
Vai = +3 m/s and Vbi = -3 m/s are the initial velocities.
Vaf = +2 m/s and Vbf = ? are the final velocities.

(10)(3) + (5)(-3) = (10)(2) + 5Vbf
30 - 15 = 20 + 5Vbf
15 = 20 + 5Vbf
-5 = 5 Vbf
Vbf = -1 m/s

The final velocity of ball B is -1 m/s.

5.) We are now told that Ma = Mb, but Vai = 2Vbi

We can use another formula to look at this mathematically.

Vaf = [(Ma - Mb)/(Ma + Mb)]Vai + [(2Mb/(Ma + Mb)]Vbi

Since Ma = Mb we can simplify this formula.

Vaf = [(0)/2Ma]Vai + [2Ma/2Ma]Vbi
Vaf = Vbi

Vbf = [(2Ma/(Ma + Mb)]Vai + [(Ma - Mb)/(Ma + Mb)]Vbi
Vbf = [2Mb/2Mb]Vai + [(0)/2Mb]Vbi
Vbf = Vai

Vaf = Vbi
Vbf = 2Vbi

If the initial velocity of A is twice the initial velocity of B, then the final velocity of A will be equal to the initial velocity of B.

If the initial velocity of A is twice the initial velocity of B, then the final velocity of B will be twice the initial velocity of B.
