Answer:

They are simply created by the friction between wind and surface water

Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. ... The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.

Nuetrik [128]
When the two waves meet, there are two possibilities:

1.If the waves were both in phase and moving in the same direction, then, the amplitude will double, this is called constructive interference.
2. If the two waves were exactly out of phase, then they will try to move the water surface in all directions, thus, no movement and the waves cancel out. This is called destructive interference.

Why would it be wise for a woman carrying the hemophilia gene to keep her son from being circumcised?
xenn [34]

Answer:

Because the probability of hemophilia would be 1:4

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a disease that comes with a sex chromosome (pair 46).

It is a recessive allele associated with chromosome X, women have two X chromosomes they can carry it, but they don't have it because they have another dominand allele non-hemophilic.

If you draw a Punnet square with a non-hemophilic father and a carrying mother, you'll found you have 1:4 chances of having a baby boy with hemophilia.

Carrying mother = X(H)X(h)

Father = X(H) Y

jeyben [28]

Question:All known organisms use genetic information to produce protein molecules via the same genetic code. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that __________.

a) the earliest macromolecules probably arose when lightning struck an oxygen-free atmosphere

b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors

c) the genetic code readily evolves by natural selection

d) there's only one possible way to encode information in a macromolecule

Answer:

b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors

Explanation:

Protein synthesis occurs when the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. A specific genetic code specifies the same amino acid in all living beings. For example, the code "UUU" codes for phenylalanine in all the living beings irrespective of their species. This suggests that all the life forms have originated from one or few common ancestors and the genetic code has been preserved during the course of evolution of various species.
