Define climate change

2 answers:

6 0

Climnate change is a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.

Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.

climate change has to do with the overall change of climate, while global warming has to do with just the warming of climate. climate change is a newer concept while global warming has been gradually increasing for a while

Help? You are studying an outcrop where the lower layer is limestone and the layer directly on top of the limestone is sandstone

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Due to mixing of particles present in the upper layer of limestone with sandstone during deposition.

Explanation:

The parent layer was limestone layer which is older than sandstone layer. This sandstone layer spreads on the limestone layer because of wind. The wind moves these sandstone from other region and their deposition occurs on the limestone layer. During deposition of sandstone, some particles of limestone which are present at the surface mixes with the sandstone so that's why in sandstone layer, small and weathered pieces of limestone are present.

In man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly ha

Brut [27]

Answer:

Total four genotypes and its frequency

SsWw – 4/16

ssWw- 4/16

Ssww - 4/16

ssww - 4/16

Phenotype –

SsWw – Heterozygous Spotted skin and heterozygous wooled hair

ssWw - Homozygous non-spotted skin and heterozygous wooled hair

Ssww - Heterozygous Spotted skin and Homozygous non -wooled hair

ssww - Homozygous non-spotted skin and Homozygous non -wooled hair

Explanation:

Given -

Allele for spotted skin is "S"

Allele for non-spotted skin is "s"

Allele for Wooly hair is "W"

Allele for non-wooly hair is "w"

Allele "S" is dominant over "s"

And Allele "W" is dominant over "w"

Cross is carried out between heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man and heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman

Genotype of heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man - Ssww

Genotype of heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman - ssWw
