Answer:

Gene pairs segregate randomly and independently of each other.

Explanation:

Genes are the basic units of hereditary and are located on chromosomes. According to Gregor Mendel's law of independent assortment  which states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes are sorted into gametes independently of one another. This means that the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele the same gamete receives for another gene.

For example, in a the pea plants used by Mendel in his studies, the genes for seed shape and flower color were inherited independent of each other by the offspring of the parent pea plants. Therefore, Mendel concluded that the inheritance of each trait was independent of the other.

What two recurring events in Earth’s history have an impact on the carbon cycle?
inessss [21]
The carbon cycle is affected by a variety of factors, and happens through different processes. The processes can be divided into two, which are biological processes and geological processes. The biological aspect covers the use and production of carbon by living organisms. The geological aspect covers physical processes such as volcanic eruptions, and weathering of rocks, which may result to release of carbon back to the atmosphere. However, both of these aspects can be affected by recurring events in Earth's history. One is the switching between glacial and interglacial periods, and the other one is the seasonal changes. Glacial periods can lead to lower temperatures and lower carbon levels in the atmosphere. In contrast to this, warmer interglacial periods result to higher carbon levels primarily due to an abundance of life. Seasonal changes have a similar effect that can be observed at a shorter time. Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and deforestation may also bring changes to the carbon cycle.

madreJ [45]

The correct answer is B. Contact comfort

Explanation:

Studies with Rhesus monkeys were carried out by the psychologists Harry Harlow to study psychological and emotional aspects related to maternal separation and isolation. In this experiment, Harlow used baby monkeys and observed their behavior in different situations that included separating the baby and the mother, providing a fake mother, isolating baby monkeys for a long time and allowing baby monkeys to choose between their mother or food. The results of this experiment showed mother-infant emotional bonds were key for the development and socialization of monkeys, this could be explained as mother monkeys provided contact comfort which supported a positive development and prevailed over food or nourishment.
