What should the student say to the astronaut to explain the shape of the planets' orbits around the Sun? In your answer, discuss
Rudik [331]

The shape of the planets' orbits around the Sun in this scenario can be referred to as an elliptical shape.

<h3>What is an Elliptical shape?</h3>

This is similar to the shape of an ellipse in which the elongated circle stretches into an oval.

The shape of the orbits of the planets are all nearly circular as a result of the distance of the planets from the sun being millions of miles apart.

How does the amount of vegetation affect the way a sand dune forms
son4ous [18]

Sand dunes are formed from wind movement. There needs to be a large amount of loose sand in an area with hardly any vegetation, enough wind to move grains of sand and some kind of obstacle to make the blowing sand lose its momentum and settle in a new place.

In a certain plant, tall stems (t) are dominant to short stems (t). a farmer crosses a short-stemmed plant with a heterozygous l
melisa1 [442]

The answers would be:

Genotype                Phenotype

     Tt                      Tall stemmed

     tt                       Short stemmed

Genotypic ratio : 2:2 or 1:1

Phenotypic ratio: 2:2  or 1:1  

<u />

<u>You can read on to see how this was done:</u>

Tall stems (T) are dominant to short stems (t).

First figure out the genotypes of the parents. We have a short-stemmed plant and a heterozygous long-stemmed plant cross.

For short stem to occur, you need 2 pairs of short alleles. So the first parent would have a genotype of tt.

Heterozygous long-stemmed means that the parent has one of each allele. So the genotype of the second parent would be, Tt.

Now we can make our Punnett Square.

tt x Tt

<u>       t        t  </u>

<u>T |  Tt  |   Tt</u>

<u>t  |   tt  |   tt</u>

Let's list down the genotypes and phenotypic results.

Genotype        no.         Phenotype

     Tt                 2           Tall stemmed

     tt                  2           Short stemmed

So from that we can answer the other questions:

Genotypic ratio : 2:2 or 1:1

Phenotypic ratio: 2:2  or 1:1

Free_Kalibri [48]
The answer is common ancestor.

Since these two organisms are adapted to different environments and still have structural similarities, that means that they must have a common ancestor. Common ancestor is an ancestral organism that two or more descendant lineages have in common.
