The correct answer to this question is a: metamorphosis. Many insects take on multiple forms through different parts of their lifecycle. For example, many lepidopteran species (i.e., butterflies) include a caterpillar juvenile stage. To reach the adult stage, the juvenile stage has to go through metamorphosis, where its adult form is strikingly different from its juvenile form.

Write a 225 word report on why each of the factors (R, K, L, S, C, and P) are important factors needed to determine the amount o
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,

K - soil erodibility factor

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient

C- the cover and management factor

P - the erosion control practice factor

Explanation:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -  

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,  which depends on geographic location. The greater is the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the higher will bethe erosion potential.  

K - soil erodibility factor,  K signifies the soil loss in tonnes/hectare (tons/acre) for any agricultural land that is cultivated and has a slope length (assumed) of 22.13 meters and slope steepness of 9%. K represents the susceptibility of a soil particle to be easily detached from the surface and carried away by rainfall and runoff. The greater is the value of K , the greater is the erodibility of the soil particles.

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope lengths is greater than an assumed slope length of 22.13 meters. The longer the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.  

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope steepness is greater than an assumed slope steepness of 9%. The steeper the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.

C- the cover and management factor, It states how effective soil and crop management systems is in terms of preventing soil loss. It is a ratio of soil loss from land under a specific crop and management system to corresponding loss from continuously fallow and tilled land. The higher the C value, the lower is the management process quality to prevent soil erosion

P - the erosion control practice factor,  It represents the after effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion by reducing the amount and rate of the water runoff. The lower the P value, the better is the effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion

what type of reasoning uses the general knowledge of science to make predictions about specific cases.
Helga [31]
Deductive reasoning.

Deductive reasoning is a type of reasoning where a general fact is broken down into a more specific case to make an inference. This general fact can be a broad branch of knowledge then gets into its parts that may comprise this broad knowledge.

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.

The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.

It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.  

It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst.  The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.

Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.

The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.

In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.  

The fetus development continues until birth.
