Answer:

farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Other factors that affect the rate of erosion in an area include the following; farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

A female rhesus monkey is exposed to testosterone in utero. As a result, the animal displays some defeminized behaviors as an ad

professor190 [17]

Answer:

organizational effect.

Explanation:

Organizational effect is a long-term effect of hormonal action typically occurring in fetal development or the early postnatal period that leads to permanent changes in behavior and neural functioning. For example, the presence of testosterone in young male rats leads to long-term male-typical behavior, and female rats can be masculinized by neonatal exposure to testosterone.

Organizational effects act during development, often during critical period. Such hormones affect the construction or fine-tuning of sex organs or neural circuits underlying behavioral capacities that will be needed in adulthood.

Organizational effects are often under tight genetic control, and not subject to major influence by environment.

Organizational effects are often irreversible.

In beans the pod texture and growth form genes are located on different chromosomes. There are two varieties of beans in a farme

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. Genotype in F1 - TtBb

Phenotype in F1 - tough pods, bush-type growth

b. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 5/8

c. Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 1/4

d. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 1/8

Explanation:

Since the two traits are located on different chromosomes, they will independently assort during gametes formation. T is dominant over t and B is dominant over b.

Two true-breeding varieties were crossed at the beginning of the program:

TTBB x ttbb

All F1 plants will have the genotype TtBb with tough pods and bush-type growth form.

Advancing the cross to F2:

TtBb x TtBb

Progeny

1 TTBB - tough pods, bush-type

2 TTBb - tough pods, bush-type

2 TtBB - tough pods, bush-type

4 TtBb - tough pods, bush-type

1 TTbb - tough pods, climbing-type

2 Ttbb - tough pods, climbing-type

1 ttBB - tender pods, bush-type

2 ttBb - tender pods, bush-type

1 ttbb - tender pods, climbing-type

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 10/16 = 5/8

Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 4/16 = 1/4

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 2/16 = 1/8

Changes in the gene pool can occur due to various mechanisms. From 1892 to 1954, millions of individuals emigrated (moved out) f

NNADVOKAT [17]

The mechanism that affected the gene pool of the immigrants that entered the United states Through Ellis Island is Gene flow.

Gene flow involves the movement of genes or alleles between interbreeding populations of a particular species. In other words it is the movement of genes from one population to another population. Actually it may be an important aspect of evolution; evolution can occur as a result of genes being transferred from one population to another. Gene flow occurs when there is migration, since the loss or addition of people can easily change pool frequencies even without no other evolutionary mechanisms operating.
