mechanical weathering

Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This process usually happens near the surface of the planet. Temperature also affects the land. The cool nights and hot days always cause things to expand and contract. That movement can cause rocks to crack and break apart.Mechanical weathering involves mechanical processes that break up a rock: for example, ice freezing and expanding in cracks in the rock.

A scan of Sam's genome for the 100 most common mutations known to cause RP didn't find anything. How can you explain this result
yan [13]

Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

Ecological pyramids are graphical representations of the trophic structure of an ecosystem. Regarding these pyramids, check the incorrect alternative.

A) A pyramid is called a number pyramid when it tells you how many individuals there are at each tropic level.

B) The biomass pyramid can be inverted.

C) An energy pyramid can never be reversed.

D) The base of a pyramid is not always represented by the producer. E) A biomass pyramid represents the amount of organic matter found at each tropic level

C. is the wrong option. This is because  it represented the energy fixed in each tropic level . it is never inverted because it flow upwards in the ecosystem.  This energy reduces upwards the pyramid, it is largest at the base of the  producers, and decreases in amount as it flow upwards from one organism at each trophic level to another. This is because each organism uses the energy for biological work
