Sediment is deposited as a river enters a lake because (A) The velocity of the river decreases
(B) Force of gravity decreases
(C) The volume of water increases
(D) The slope of the river increases

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is number one. When the velocity (the speed) of the river decreases, be it at the entry of a lake, sea, ocean, or meandering, passing through a valley with very little change in altitude, the sediment starts to get deposited. This is due to the decrease in force caused by the decrease in velocity, there is not enough force to push the sediments further so they start to deposit because the river is not able to drag them further on.

Which statement describes an effect of naturalselection on a species? (1) It favors the survival of certain members of the species and results in a change in the proportion of individuals with highly adaptive traits. (2) It provides feedback mechanisms for members of a species and results in a change in the proportion of individuals with homeostatic controls. (3) It leads to reproduction with other species, increasing the number of different adaptations. (4) It increases competition between populations that occupy different niches, increasing the chance of extinction of the less-adapted species.

How does increased pressure result in the formation of a mineral?The atoms in the mineral get rearranged.
The mineral gets broken down over time.
The mineral erupts from a volcano.
The mineral dissolves in hot water.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, the atoms in the mineral get rearranged.

Explanation:

With time, and under immense pressure, the atoms of a substance can become reorganized, producing a novel substance. For example, the carbon present underground in the form of coal encounters with intense pressure, that further gets rearranged or reorganized to convert into a diamond, that is, the atoms of coal get rearrange themselves with time to produce a diamond.
The increased pressure forces the carbon chain structure of whatever element into a crystalline structure since that's the most resilient molecular structure. so is A

What characteristics do bryophytes share with algae?

Answers

The characteristics that bryophytes share with algae are biflagellate motile gametes and the life cycle. The life cycle, of course, is the duration of the life of the object. Biflagellate motile gametes are made when two or more of the motile gametes fuse into a zygote.

Scientists assume that an organism’s ancestors required a climate similar to the climate required by the present-day organism.a. True
b. False

Answers

a. True

This is somehow true. If the climate before, thousands of years ago was in harsh conditions; the same conditions today many organisms would not survive. Hence, certain climate conditions is needed for an organism complex such as mammals, humans and the similar organisms to thrive. 

Answer:

A. true (just took test)

Mendel's experiments demonstrated the law of dominance: traits are inherited as dominant and recessive alleles, and the dominant allele for a trait can mask the presence of the recessive allele. Occasionally, that law is contradicted: offspring exhibit a blend of their parents' traits. For example a red flowering plant when crossed with a white flowering plant would produce a plant with pink flowers. This type of inheritance pattern is called A) codominance. B) multiple alleles. C) incomplete dominance. Eliminate D) heterozygous dominance.
