in humans, having wet earwax is a dominant trait. Having dry earwax is recessive. a man has one recessive allele and one dominant allele and a woman has has two dominant alleles. if this man and woman have a child, is it possible for their child to have dry earwax? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

No, it is not possible for them to have a child with dry earwax. In order for them to have a child with dry earwax, the child must have two recessive alleles in that trait. As the father is the only one who has one, there will be a 50% chance of heterozygous offspring, and a 50% chance of homozygous offspring in the dominant allele - no homozygous offspring in the recessive allele.

Answers

we know that oil floats on water and do not mix

What happens to the oil when you first pour it in? It flows into the water, but then seperates.

Why does this happen? oil is lighter than water and the molecules of the oil are attracted to the other oil molecules, not water, the water molecules the same

What kinds of animals would be most affected by an oil spill at the beginning? animals that live their lives near the surface of the ocean. Why? because now the water that was clear and free-flowing is now dark and sticky. oil also changes the way how some animals survive so make their ways less effective. one example are birds like pelicans

Use a spoon to stir the oil for 30 seconds.


Answer the following questions:
What natural action stirs the real ocean? ocean currents caused by wind and the earth's roation
What happened to the oil? went back to the top
Even if you can’t see it, is all the oil still in your ocean? yes
Which animals in the ocean become affected after wave and currentaction causes some of the oil to settle to the bottom, or be absorbedinto the water?  bottom-feeders
Add a splash of dish detergent to the mixture and stir.


Answer the following questions:
What happened to the oil? it mixed with the water Is it all still in the ocean? yes
Sometimes cleanup efforts involve dumping a soap mixture over a spill area. Why is this done? to bond the oil to the detergent and the detergent to the water. so they can grab all the oil
What might be a negative effect of dumping the soap?
soap has chemicals that could upset the ballance of the ecosystem and kil some animals/plants

Classmate states that igneous rock must always become sedimentary rock next,according to the rock cycle. Explain why this statement is not correct

Answers

Using the rock cycle, it shows that with heat and pressure, an igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock.

Explanation:

This is incorrect because it can also convert to sediments by weathering, erosion, and deposition. The Rock Cycle is a group of transformations. Igneous rock can transform into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can transform into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can convert into an igneous or sedimentary rock.

Using the rock cycle, it shows that with heat and pressure, an igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock.

1-Paragraph that explains an example of natural selection . (3-5 sentences)

Answers

Answer:Natural selection is the process in nature by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more than those less adapted to their environment.For example, tree frogs are sometimes eaten by snakes and birds. Gray Tree frogs blend well in dark wooded areas on tree bark and Green Tree frogs blend in well with green vegetation found in marshes and swamps. A Green Tree frog on the bark of a tree is easier for a predator to find, compared to a Green Tree frog on a green leaf. So, Green Tree frogs that go into habitats where they are not camouflaged are more likely to be eaten by predators. Since Tree frogs that have been eaten do not live to have any more baby Tree frogs, natural selection has favored Tree frogs that live in habitats in which they are more camouflaged.

Answer:

In a habitat there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more green bugs and eventually there are no more red bugs.

How does climate affect the type of biome found in an area?

Answers

By it's plants, animals or in other words they will leave and abandone their homes
Climate affects the type of biome found in an area. This is because climate decides the biodiversity in an area; as certain speices adapt to the conditions. The type of biome is dependent on the plants and animals found in the particular area. Thus, the type of biome is indirectly dependent on the climate.
