Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C!!

Explanation:

It's not B because it's located in the great plains. Not D because in 50 years, 70% of the aquifer will be gone. Not A because water use isn't regulated.

Answer 2

Ogallala Aquifer is the rock holding the groundwater in the Great Plains of America. The Ogallala Aquifer is running out of water.  Thus, option C is correct.

What is Ogallala Aquifer?

Ogallala Aquifer is an underground layer of water that is held by the rocks, pebbles, and gravel that make the water well above the surface. It is not beneath the East Coast but is situated on the Great Plains of the United States.

It has been reported that the water usage of the Ogallala Aquifer is not regulated and hence it does not have enough water to last up to 6,000 years. At approx 70%, the water of the aquifer will be soon gone resulting in the deprivation of the water.

Therefore, option C. the Ogallala Aquifer is running out of water is correct.

A scientist is researching two different traits in an insect: body texture and color. Smooth body (B) is dominant to bumpy body (b), and gray (G) is dominant to white (g). A BbGg and a bbgg insect mate and produce the following 480 offspring: Phenotype Number of Offspring Smooth, gray 119 Bumpy, white 117 Smooth, white 123 Bumpy, gray 121 What type of inheritance is displayed from these offspring

Answers

Answer:

Independent assortment

Explanation:

The type of inheritance displayed by the offspring is a simple independent assortment inheritance according to Mendelian law.

The result of crossing BbGg and bbgg is as follows (see the attached image)

4 BbGg smooth and gray

4 Bbgg  smooth and white

4 bbGg bumpy and gray

4 bbgg bumpy and white

The phenotype ratio from the cross is 1:1:1:1 as far as the independent assortment is concerned.

Now, looking at the population of each phenotype from the cross

Smooth, gray 119

Smooth, white 123

Bumpy, gray 121

Bumpy, white 117

119:123:121:117 is approximately equal to 1:1:1:1.

Hence, the cross agrees with Mendel's law of independent assortment of genes.

Answer:

"Anything that looks like a snake should produce the instinctive fear response," Slobodchikoff said. “Cucumbers are shaped more like snakes, with their curving sides, than ears of corn or eggplants, so they produce a greater response."

But don't go trying to prank your cat with cucumber-shaped objects just yet. Scaring cats can have long-term effects on their mental health.

"Anytime you scare an animal, you risk inflicting psychological damage, so that the animal will be afraid not only of cucumbers,” Slobchikoff said, “but also the surroundings in which the cucumber was presented to the animal.”

Where do the thickest deposits of terrigenous sediment typically form?
A. deep-ocean trenches, such as the Mariana Trench
B. mid-ocean ridges
C. abyssal plains
D. continental margins near the mouths of rivers

Answers

Answer: D. continental margins near the mouths of rivers

Explanation:

Terrigenous sediments are those that are formed via processes on land as opposed to in water. They result mostly from the erosion of rocks and yet make up 20% of all ocean sediments.

Continental margins near the mouths of rivers contain the thickest deposits of this sediments as they are closest to land which is the source. It is made more convenient by the presence of rivers bringing the sediments to them when the rocks are eroded.

Answer:

B. What happens to the materials that make up a living organism after it dies.

Explanation:

An ecosystem can be defined as the natural living habitats of both living and non-living organisms.

Ecosystem services such as plant pollination, nutrient cycling and water purification are essential services that are being provided by the ecosystem. These services are really very vital, important and useful for the sustenance of life, both for humans, plants and animals because they enhance social welfare.

In this scenario, Haley knows that plants and animals are made up of many different materials. She wants to know how these materials can cycle through an ecosystem. Therefore, the question Haley could ask to learn more about this topic is; what happens to the materials that make up a living organism after it dies?

Basically, the material that make up a living organism decomposes after it dies and are then used up as nutrients by plants growing on the soil.
