Answer:

  • The wind is caused by differences in air pressure.
  • An anemometer is a tool for measuring wind speed.
  • The wind-chill factor has a cooling effect

Explanation:

Winds move from areas of high pressure to areas  of low pressure. This is because the areas of low pressure are composed of hotter and less dense air. The cooler air from the higher pressure region rushes in to displaces the rising warm less dense air. The direction from which the winds prevail FROM is used to name the winds(such as westerlies blow from West to East). A wind vane, windsock and anemometer measure the direction and speed of wind. As wind passes over the skin, it causes a cooling effect (the wind chill factor) because it blows the sweat away from the skin carrying with it the heat.

Answer:

Options (1), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

Wind is a form of energy and is a renewable source of energy. The name wind is basically given for the direction from which it flows. This wind arises because of the pressure difference in the atmosphere and it blows from a region of high pressure to the region of low pressure in order to make the area cool.

The speed and direction of the prevailing wind are usually calculated by using a tool that is commonly known as an anemometer.

When the wind blows over a region, the individuals feel a lowering temperature which is known as the wind-chill factor. This is why it is generally considered to have a cooling effect.

Thus, the correct answers are options (1), (4), and (5).

Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants and then allowed the offspring to self-pollinate to produce an F2 gener
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C. The green allele is recessive to the yellow allele

Explanation:

Complete dominance occurs when one gene variant or allele referred to as the 'dominant allele' completely masks the expression of another allele referred to as the 'recessive allele' in heterozygous individuals, i.e., in individuals carrying one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele for a particular locus/gene (whereas homo-zygous individuals carry the same alleles for a given locus/gene). Mendel crossed pure lines of pea plants, i.e., homo-zygous lines for different traits such as seed color (yellow and green) and seed shape (round and wrinkled). In this case, the parental cross was YY x yy, where the 'Y' allele is dominant and encodes for yellow seed color, and the 'y' allele is recessive and encodes for green seed color. From this cross, Mendel obtained a hybrid F1 (i.e., all progeny was heterozygous with genotype Yy). An expected 3:1 ratio as observed in this case (6,022 yellow and 2,001 green seed >> 3:1 ratio) is characteristic of the progeny that results from mating between F1 heterozygous parents, where each parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, i.e., F1 parental cross: Yy x Yy >> F2: 1/4 YY (yellow color); 1/2 Yy (yellow color); 1/4 (green color) >> 3:1 ratio of yellow to green seeds.

Question 1
Ugo [173]

Answer:

C Differences among temperature, air pressure, and density

Explanation:

Classification of the atmosphere layer will be different based on the temperature, air pressure, and density.  Generally, air pressure and density will go less at the higher layer, but the temperature varies greatly. Altitude and latitude define a location on earth, not the layer of atmosphere. Most weather just happens at the troposphere layer. The distance from ground level can be used as a rough estimate but not as precise criteria.

yeast is eukaryotic organism that has 32 chromosomes. its dna has been sequenced and has been determined to have 6000 genes. app
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 187-188 genes.

The chromosome is defined as a thread-like structure formed by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA ) and associated proteins.

It carries the genetic information an organism in the form of genes.

Genes refer to the coding sequence of the chromosome which specifically codes for the amino acid sequence of a protein.

The genome of the yeast consists of 32 chromosomes which have 6000 protein-coding genes.

As these chromosomes are equal in size that is, each contains the equal length of the DNA.

Thus, hypothetically we can say that each chromosome consists of 187-188 chromosomes (6000/32 = 187.5)
