The atoms of different elements all have different numbers of protons. Meanwhile, the mass number of an atom consists of the total number of protons and neutrons it contains. An atom's mass number can never be smaller than its atomic number, and while it can be the same it is normally larger.

Thorndike's law of effect is described below.

Explanation:

  • Operant Conditioning. A form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior's occurance. According to Thorndike's Law of Effect. Behaviors followed by bad results are less likely to occur and behaviors followed by good results are more likely to occur again.
  • The law of effect is a psychology principle advanced by Edward Thorndike in 1898 on the matter of behavioral conditioning (not then formulated as such) which states that "responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and responses that produce
  • Thorndike's Law of Effect states that a response followed by a pleasant consequence is more likely to be repeated, whereas a response followed by an unpleasant consequence is more likely to be diminished. ... This special stimulus has the effect of increasing the behavior occurring just before the reinforcer.
  • Law of effect. Law of Effect. The law of effect states that if a response in the presence of a stimulus is followed by a satisfying event, the association between the stimulus and the response is strengthened.

amid [387]
<span>Although a star might look brighter than the Sun, a comparison of its absolute<span> magnitude might help prove that they have the same real brightness.
Absolute magnitude is a concept that compares the absolute brightness of celestial objects. The absolute magnitude of an object is defined as the apparent magnitude it would have if it were viewed at a standard distance of 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years) with no dimming of its light. The more luminous an object, the smaller the numerical value of its absolute magnitude.</span></span>

Which of the following is true?
Arlecino [84]

During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.

A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition

B the cytoplasm divides

C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase

D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

E two identical daughter cells are produced

Answer:

D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.

In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.

During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.

When individuals of the same species are reproductively isolated, genetic differences may accumulate in sufficient number so tha
sdas [7]

Answer:

macroevolution

Explanation:

Macroevolution occurs due to the genetic differences accumulates in the population of the same species which gets reproductively isolated from the older population and got different environments and resources to live.

Macroevolution leads to the creation of a new species over a long period of time because of the genetic difference that occurs due to mutation in the gene in the population who got reproductively isolated. So the new species evolved from the macroevolution.
