List two human activities and two natural events that can cause a large increase in the rate of soil erosion

Biology

Harrizon [31]3 years ago
8 0
Soil erosion is a form of soil degradation and is referring to the displacement of the top layer of soil.Two human activities that can increase the rate of soil erosion are farming and logging. These two activities make the top layer of soil looser, resulting in the washing away of the soil by wind and water. Two natural events that can cause an increase in the rate of soil erosion are fire and earthquakes.

A geneticist is studying two traits in the fruit fly - eye color and wing shape. They perform a dihybrid cross. If the genes for
Len [333]

Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

<u>According to Mendel's law of independent assortment of genes, when a dihybrid cross involves two genes that assort independently and one of the parents is dominant for the two genes and the other is recessive, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring at F2 would be 9:3:3:1</u>. The proportion of the offspring with the dominant parental traits would be 9/16, those with the recessive parental traits would be 1/16, while those with mixed traits would be 3/16 each.

Assuming the eye color is represented by E and the wing shape is represented by W. At F2

     EeWw    x    EeWw

E_W_ - 9/16 (dominant for both eye color and wing shape)

E_ww - 3/16 (dominant for eye color and recessive for wing shape)

eeW_ - 3/16 (recessive for eye color and dominant for wing shape)

eeww - 1/16 (recessive for both eye color and wing shape)

<em>Hence, the proportion of the offspring with dominant phenotype for eye color and recessive phenotype for wing shape would be </em><em>3/16.</em>

How do the nervous system and endocrine system differ in regards to managing homeostasis?
Citrus2011 [14]
Hello friend!!
The biggest difference between the two is that the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals through neurons, whereas the hormonal system uses chemical messengers transported into blood plasma to target cells. 
Transmission by the nervous system is short-lived but quick, whereas transmission by the hormonal system is long-lasting but takes much longer. Hene, communication is faster when using the nervous system. 
In the nervous system, responses are localised - whereas in the hormonal system, they are widespread. Responses are often permanent in the hormonal system, but temporary and reversible in the nervous system.

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

They are codominant

Explanation:

There are 3 different alleles: IA, IB and i - IA and IB are codominants, i is recessive. Codominance means neither allele can mask the expression of the other and both alleles A and B are expressed in the blood type.
