#1. Typical United States weather patterns show the continental polar air mass moving south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Why does this air mass movement happen?
C) The polar air mass moves south to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.
#2. Running a mineral across a porcelain plate to see the color it leaves behind on the plate may be described as testing for D) streak.
#3. D. Carbonization preserves soft tissues of plants or animals as a thin carbon film, usually in fine-grained shale sediments.
#4. We can divide natural resources into two basic categories: renewable and nonrenewable. Consider the bar graph of resource usage. If we wanted to reduce the use of nonrenewable natural resources, it would be least important to A) reduce deforestation.
#5. Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who is best known for the theory that the sun is near the center of the universe and that the earth and other planets revolve around it. Copernicus did not believe that the planets were influenced by or revolved due to the sun; instead he believed that the sun was located near the center of the universe and that it was this center which influenced those bodies and caused them to revolve. When this theory was first published, the scientific community did not accept it. Which reason BEST explains the reason for rejection of this theory?
C) It lacked sufficient evidence and explanation.
Hope I helped!!
Answer:
Coprolites are the type of fossils which can tell the scientist what dinosaurs ate.
Explanation:
A Coprolites is fossilized faeces.They are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils as they give evidence for the animal's behaviour rather than morphology.This name is derived from Greek words.They were first described by William Buckland in 1829.
Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"
A) complete dominance
B) incomplete dominance
C) codominance
D) epistasis
E) incomplete penetrance
Answer:
B) incomplete dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.
For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".
