<span>The
mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that are found in the
nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the
number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. So the number of neutrons are 20 (mass number) - 5 (atomic number) = 15 neutrons.</span>
Answer:
b)eutrophication
Explanation:
have you ever seen a lake or body of water with a layer of green on top? That's eutrophication due to heavy amounts of growth nutrients (primarily from runoffs from agriculture) in water. Simple plants utilize those and grow very fast. As they grow, they take up the oxygen and make water oxygen poor. These produce deadzones cuz the water life basically suffocates to death due to less oxygen. Eventually plants will also die
Answer:
All the offspring have genotype RrTt
Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon
Explanation:
Given
Tallness ( T) is dominant to dwarfness (t)
Red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r)
It is given that heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color which means that the allels for color of flower show co dominance
Genotype of dwarf red snapdragon is RRtt
Genotype of a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers is rrTT
The punnet square representing the cross between RRtt and rrTT is as given below-
Rt Rt Rt Rt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
Thus all the offspring have genotype RrTt
Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon
Answer:
variation
Explanation:
Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA. The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment. Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes. Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.
Example: Peppered moth
In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark. The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten. The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten. Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat. By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%. This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.
