In the diagram the letter D represents the summer solstice and the letter B represents the winter solstice. But the letter A and C represents the equinoxes that are present in the month of March and September. Here in India the country lies above tropic of Cancer. So the condition here is like the temperate region. So during summer the sun's rays directly fall on the country as well as during winter the country receives oblique sun rays. Thus from the diagram we can see see that the letter B represents the condition of earth when the sun's rays are not directly falling on earth. So it's winter solstice .

In the letter D we can see that the earth is going through the summer solstice because sun's rays are directly falling on the earth. So it's summer at that time.

9. Consider the below Punnett square cross. Explain how you could use it to determine which parent

Answer: The father determines the biological sex of a baby

Explanation: Human beings have two sex chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes whereas females have XX chromosomes. During fertilization, an egg from a woman fuses with a sperm cell from a man to form a zygote. Women have two X chromosomes (XX) and any point in time they can only release an egg bearing an X chromosome but males have one X and one Y chromosome, therefore they can either release a sperm cell with an X chromosome or a sperm cell with a Y chromosome. When an egg with X-chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with an X chromosome, the resulting baby is a female but when an egg with an X chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with a Y chromosome, the resulting baby is a male.

What makes the difference in both sexes is the Y chromosome from the man, therefore the father determines the biological sex of a baby.
