1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Given your four choices, the best/most correct one would be (c) the sunlight that evaporated water that eventually falls as rain and fills the reservoir. It is the potential energy stored in the reservoir water which is "released" as it is converted to kinetic energy (the movement of water which spins the hydroelectric generator turbine, etc.), but the absolute source of that original potential energy comes from the Sun's action to evaporate lake or ocean water which is returned to Earth as rain ... and it is this rainwater which ultimately fills the reservoir behind the hydroelectric power plant.

German scientist carl correns found that the inheritance of variegated color on the leaves of certain plants was determined only

Anna71 [15]

The answer is extrachromosomal, or cytoplasmic, inheritance, or non-Mendelian inheritance. An example in humans is mitochondrion inheritance. Mitochondria are only passed from mother to offspring since only the egg has mitochondria while sperm does not. The name of the German scientist who discovered this type of inheritance was called Carl Correns.
