Answer:

Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the key explanation why we can hear sounds around corners but not see them. As compared to light waves, sound waves have much longer wavelengths, making diffraction effects much more visible. When the size of the object that the wave is diffracting around is about the same as the wavelength of the wave, diffraction effects become very visible.

Sound has a wavelength of 1 m, while light has a wavelength of 0.1 micro m. Reflection is a secondary reason. Sound waves bounce off walls in a specular way, allowing them to bounce around corners, but light bounces off walls in a diffuse manner.

hope this helps :)

if merpeople have tail color alleles B (blue) and G (green) that follow the codominance inheritance rule, what are possible geno
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Genotypes: BG.  Phenotypes:  The tails would express both, blue and green, colors.

Explanation:

The codominance inheritance rule states that both alleles for a single trait will dominate and will be equally expressed.  And, in this case, the alleles, B and G, for tail color will be equally expressed in their offspring.

Hope this helps!

Glucose is generally phagostimulatory (stimulates eating) for animals. The observation that cockroach populations exposed to poi
xxMikexx [17]

The correct answer is:

A. Will have a intermediate trait 3. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined incompletely dominant trait

B. Will refuse glucose 2. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined dominant trait

C. Have a mix of traits depending on experience 4. Glucose aversion is a learned behavior

D. Will accept glucose 1. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined recessive trait

If we put it simple and say that for example glucose aversion is genetically determinated, with the genotype AA and eating glucose with the genotype aa. The offspring will have Aa genotype (heterozygous). Depending on which phenotype is expressed in heterozygous we can conclude whether the trait is dominant or recessive or due to earned behavior.

How igneous and sedimentary rocks turn to metamorphic rocks?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Heat, pressure and chemistry compounds around the rocks.

Explanation:

Metamorphic rock is formed by pre-existent rocks (igneous and sedimentary, sometimes from another metamorphic rock), those rocks were modified by the effect of heat (high temperature), pressure (under the terrestrial surface) and chemistry compounds around the rocks. The physical and mineralogical composition becomes different than the original form.

This process is called metamorphism.
