Answer : The correct option is, (B) Germanium

Explanation :

As we know that the material are divided into three categories which are conductors, insulators and semiconductors.

Conductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity that means it allow the electrons to flow through them.

Example of conductors are, iron, aluminium, gold, etc.

Insulators : It is a type of substance which does not conduct electricity that means it does not allow the electrons to flow through them.

Examples of insulators are, glass, rubber, ceramics, etc.

Semiconductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity under certain conditions that means it allow the electrons to flow through them. The conductivity level of semiconductors lie between the conductors and the insulators.

The good examples of semiconductors are silicon, germanium, gallium, and  selenium.

In the given options, aluminium, gold are the metals which conduct electricity and concrete is an insulator which do not conduct electricity while the germanium is the good semiconductor.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) Germanium

In which situation are you likely to find a trait with only one allele?
Reika [66]

If the expression of a trait requires only one copy of a gene (one allele), that trait is considered dominant. If the expression of a trait requires 2 copies of a gene (2 alleles), that trait is considered recessive. One exception is X-linked disorders.

In humans and in other higher vertebrates, the ____________ undergoes the greatest growth during development.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

 Telencephalon

Explanation:

The cerebrum is also known as telencephalon. It is a major part of the brain that houses the cerebral cortex (of both cerebral hemispheres), varying subcortical structures, plus the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb. In the human brain, it is the uppermost zone of the central nervous system.

The inferior boundaries of the telencephalon are basically located at the diencephalon (e.g. thalamus and hypothalamus) and the brainstem.

The telencephalon houses the BIGGEST part of the brain, the CEREBRUM.
