Answer:

it is the crust, and everything grows on it. they move around constantly at an incredibly slow pace, and float in the mantle. the mantle causes them to move around sometimes to cause earthquakes, by pulling them apart or pushing them together to make canyons and mountains respectively.

The lithosphere,which is the rigid outermost shell of the planet(the crust,and upper mantle),is broken into tectonic plates.The earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates(depending on how they are defined)and many minor plates.In this way,the total surface of the lithosphere remain,the same.

There are 100 cats in a population that follows hardy-weinberg conditions. 4 cats display a recessive white coat color. how many
mr Goodwill [35]

We know that Hardy-Weinberg conditions include the following equations:


p^{2}+2pq+ q^{2}=1


where p+q=1


And where p = dominant, and q = recessive; this means that p^{2} is equal to the homozygous dominant, 2pq is the heterozygous, and q^{2} is the homozygous recessive .


So we have 100 total cats, with 4 having the recessive white coat color. That means we have a ratio of \frac{4}{100} or 0.04. Let that equal our q^{2} value.


So when we solve for q, we get:


q^{2}=0.04

q=\sqrt{0.04} =0.2


Now that we have our q value, we can use the other equation to find p:


p+q=1


p+0.2=1


p=0.8


So then we can solve for our heterozygous population:


2pq=2(0.8)(0.2)=0.32


This is the ratio of the population. So we then multiply this number by 100 to get the number of cats that are heterozygous:


0.32*100=32cats


So now we know that there are 32 heterozygous cats in the population.

What is a defining feature of mammals that is not present in most other vertebrates?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Mammals can produce milk for their offspring.

Mammals are the members of class mammalia. The word mammalia was derived from Latin word "mamma" which means "breasts" as they had a unique feature i.e. presence of mammary glands.

These glands were evolved from a special types of sweat glands and became specialized in the production of milk, especially in females.

They help the mothers in providing nourishment to the offspring.
