Answer:

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed. Barrier islands are a specific type of island that lie parallel to the coastline of a larger mainland. They are separated from shore by a bay, lagoon or sound and because of where they are situated, they protect the coast from being directly impacted by storm waves or winds.

With independent assortment, the ratio of genotypes in the F2 generation of a cross between true-breeding strains (AA bb x aa BB

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

c. Aa Bb

Explanation:

The parents were pure breeding with genotypes AAbb and aaBB. A cross between AAbb and aaBB would produce AaBb genotypes in F1 progeny. Two F1 strains would be crossed to produce F2 progeny. The F2 progeny would have the genotype ratio= 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1.

Out of all the obtained genotypes in the F2 generation, the proportion of "AaBb" genotype was 4/16. Therefore, "4" in the given ratio represents the genotype "AaBb".

One molecule of glucose can yield _____ ATP after glycolysis and aerobic respiration.

GREYUIT [131]

One molecule of glucose can yield 36 ATP after glycolysis and aerobic respiration.

This question is a bit tricky. Glucose can produce a total of 38 ATP after glycolysis in aerobic respiration but it will need 2 ATP because you need ATP to move NADH to mitochondria so it will yield net amount 36 ATP.
Sometimes, 2 ATP in the preparatory phase is also subtracted resulting in 34 ATP.
