Climate is defined as the weather condition that is measured over a time period of 30 years for a particular region and for a period of time. Climate of a region depends upon several factors such as pattern of temperature, rate of precipitation, humidity, wind direction and seasons. Various types of instruments are used to determine the climatic condition of a particular region as it depends on several factors, these instruments are:

Barometer is used to measure the atmospheric pressure of the region.

Wind Vane is used to show the direction of the wind.

Rain Gauge is used to measure the amount of precipitation over a period of time.

Snow gauge is used to measure solid precipitation

Hygrometer is used to measure the relative humidity.

Yanni made a chart to compare the strong and weak forces. Which best describes Yanni’s error? Only the weak force is active in t

cluponka [151]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.

But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.

This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.

Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.

How do sea anemone catch prey?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Tentacles have specialised stinging cells called nematocysts. They use these to immobilise their prey so that the tentacles are then able to move the food into the mouth.

Genetic drift is dependent upon which of the following? A. crossing-over B. random chance C. natural selection D. gene mutation

sammy [17]

C. natural selection.

This is because in smaller populations the more that two separate groups of animals don’t interbreeding the father they become until speciation occurs where they cannot interbreed between the two groups.

Three linked autosomal loci were studied in cucumbers: fruit color (dark vs. light), tendril size (long vs. reduced) and fruitin

Zina [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Progeny observed in the experiment is calculated by adding all the progeny numbers observed in the :

TIME TO FRUIT TENDRIL SIZE FRUIT COLOR NUMBER

Normal normal dark 370

normal normal light 32

early normal light 971

early normal dark 28

early reduced dark 25

early reduced light 483

normal reduced light 36

normal reduced dark 810

TOTAL

PROGENCY 2755

2. The locus in the center is TIME TO FRUIT. Tendril size is at the beginning of the locus and the distance between the locus B and locus C is R2

What three quantities are used to describe a ocean wave?

Ivahew [28]

Anatomy of a Wave
A wave is described by its wavelength (or the distance between two sequential crests or two sequential troughs), the wave period (or the time it takes a wave to travel the wavelength), and the wave frequency (the number of wave crests that pass by a fixed location in a given amount of time
