Horizontal lines, like the horizon. That's how I remember it, anyways. Or on a globe, latitude lines. My teacher always taught us "FAT-itude lines."

Latitude and Longitude: Your Global Address
Every location on earth has a global address. Because the address is in numbers, people can communicate about location no matter what language they might speak. A global address is given as two numbers called coordinates. The two numbers are a location's latitude number and its longitude number ("Lat/Long").

What is plant blindness?

Komok [63]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Plant blindness refers to "the inability to see or notice the plants in one's own environment." The term plant blindness was coined twenty years ago by Elizabeth Schussler and James Wandersee who are botanists. Plant blindness results in "the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs." It is also the reason why people have a tendency of ranking “plants as inferior to animals”. Therefore, plants tend to receive limited care and upkeep. It is important to recognize plant blindness so that more intentional care can be given to preserving our plant species and ensure their survival and ability to thrive.

The ability of the human body to break down the red color in beets is controlled by an autosomal dominant allele. The inability

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the ability to break down the red color in beets be represented by the allele B. The inability would be represented by the allele b.

A nonsecretor's genotype would be BB or Bb while a secretor's genotype would be bb.

A nonsecretor woman with a secretor father would be a carrier with genotype Bb. A nonsecretor man who in a previous marriage had a secretor daughter would also be a carrier with genotype Bb. If the two marries:

Bb x Bb

BB 2Bb bb

(a) probability of their first child will be a secretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a secretor.

Probability of having a girl = 1/2

Probability of being a secretor = 1/4

probability of their first child will be a secretor girl = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

(b) Probability of their first child being a nonsecretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a nonsecretor.

Probability of having a girl = 1/2

Probability of being a nonsecretor = 3/4

Probability of their first child being a nonsecretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a nonsecretor = 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8

2. Probability that their first two children will be nonsecretors of either sex = probability of their first being a nonsecretor and of either sex and probability of their second being a nonsecretor and of either sex.

= 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16
