Answer:
A rock is a naturally formed, non-living Earth material. Rocks are made of minerals. ... A rock may be made of only one type of mineral. More often rocks are made of a mixture of different minerals.
Metamorphic rocks (changed rocks) are made when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and high pressures for long periods of time. Metamorphism (meta = change, morph = form) happens when molten rock intrudes other rocks and bakes the contact zone where the molten rock touches the preexisting rock. Metamorphism also happens when rocks are buried deeply during the process of mountain building. The kind of metamorphic rock made depends on the kind of original rock; for example, sandstone is turned to quartzite, shale is turned to slate, and limestone is turned to marble.
Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.

where does the energy for active transport come from
Answer:
Active transport is a process that is required to move molecules against a concentration gradient. The process requires energy. Energy for the process is acquired from the breakdown of glucose using oxygen in aerobic respiration. ATP is produced during respiration and releases the energy for active transport.

A tall pea plant with red flowers has the genotype TtRr. This plant is crossed with another tall pea plant with white flowers, having the genotype Ttrr. What is the probability of getting dwarf plants with red flowers in the F1 progeny
Answer:
1/8 or 12.5%
Explanation:
This question involves two genes coding for height and flower color in pea plant. The alleles for tallness (T) and red flowers (R) are dominant over the alleles of short (t) and white flowers (r).
According to this question, a tall pea plant with red flowers (TtRr) is crossed with another tall pea plant with white flowers (Ttrr). The following gametes is produced by each parent:
TtRr - TR, Tr, tR and tr
Ttrr - Tr, Tr, tr and TR
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of F1 offsprings will be produced as follows:
Tall, Red (T_R_) = 6
Tall, white (T_rr) = 6
Dwarf, red (ttR_) = 2
Dwarf, white (ttrr) = 2
The probability of getting dwarf plants with red flowers in the F1 progeny is 1/8 or 12.5%.

12.5

what is the relationship between the cell membrane and cystic fibrosis?
Answer:
The CFTR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This protein functions as a channel across the membrane of cells that produce mucus, sweat, saliva, tears, and digestive enzymes.

how does parasitism differ from other symbiotic relationships?? (please help of you know it )
Answer:
Symbiosis is when one creature benefits while the other is unaffected. Parasitism is when one creature benefits while the other is harmed.
Explanation:
Think of parasites. They feed off of other creatures and harm them in the process. Symbiosis is similar, but neither creature is harmed.
In a cross Bb x Bb (B = Blue petals and b = pink petals), how many offspring will have the genotype Bb?
Answer:
2 offspring will have the genotype Bb.
Explanation:
Crossing the genotypes Bb and Bb results in 2, or 50% of the offspring having the genotype Bb. In the top right box, the B on the top and the B on the side make the BB genotype. In the top left box, B and b make the first Bb genotype. The lower right box crosses B and b to make the second Bb genotype. The last box in the bottom right crosses b and b, resulting in the genotype bb. So, after crossing the genotypes written on the top and side of the punnet square, 2 of the offspring will have the Bb genotype. (I got this by combining the letters outside the punnet square in the box where the row and column meet) .
Name two types of pathways that help a body maintain homeostasis, and an example of each.
Answer:
Explanation:
The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water.
Answer:
The receptor and afferent pathway are pathways that help the body stay n homeostasis. An example of the receptor is like temperatures in your skin. An example of Afferent pathways are sensory neutrons.

Answer:
An amino acid.
Explanation:
Each codon applies to an individual amino acid.
Answer:
Each codon corresponds to a single amino acid (or stop signal), and the full set of codons is called the genetic code. The genetic code includes 64 possible permutations, or combinations, of three-letter nucleotide sequences that can be made from the four nucleotides.

Explain how DNA results in the expression of a gene using the following words: DNA, mRNA, tRNA, gene, transcription, and translation
Explanation:
in order for a gene to even be transcribed, it must be "turned on" or "expressed" meaning the nucleotides have moved away from each other. after it's expressed, the gene will unwrap and continue on with transcription, and make mRNA copy of a DNA strand. once RNA is made it will leave nucleus and enter cytoplasm to find a ribosome. once it attaches to ribosome, translation begins, and a tRNA will bind to anti-codon, and the building of a polypeptide/protein will begin.
How is active transport different from simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Answer:
Active transport is when substances move against the concentration gradient and go from low to high. Diffusion is when substances move with the concentration gradient and go from high to low.

Which sequence correctly indicates the branching pattern of the human respiratory system?
A) trachea bronchi bronchioles alveoli
B) trachea bronchioles bronchi alveoli
C) alveoli trachea bronchioles bronchi
D) alveoli bronchioles trachea bronchi
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The system including tissues and organs needed for breathing and exchanging gases is called the respiratory system. It is essential for providing fresh air and eliminating the waste air from the body.
The branching pattern of the human respiratory system includes option A) trachea bronchi bronchioles and alveoli.
The Respiratory system can be explained as:The respiratory system includes the major organ lungs which along with some other tissues makes up the whole system. The trachea gets diverged into two branches named bronchi which further splits into lungs called bronchioles.The bronchioles spread throughout the lungs and have a sac-like small structure on its end called alveoli where the exchange of gases takes place.Therefore, option A is the correct sequence of respiratory branching.

Answer:
eukaryotic chromosomes
Explanation:
Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single source of replication whereas numerous sources of eukaryotic chromosomes. Since eukaryotic chromosomes are much larger, many outlets are required for the whole chromosome to be repeated within a limited period of time.
A replication root is a segment of DNA in which a gene, plasmid or virus is repeated.
Calico cats are almost always female because the gene for coat color is
carried on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome in cats has no color
gene. Explain how a calico cat might be a male. *
Answer:In rare cases, a male cat can inherit two X chromosomes in addition to his Y chromosome (Klinefelter Syndrome). ... If the two X chromosomes do not carry the same allele (i.e., the cat's genotype is XBXbY), then the male will express calico coloration, just as a female would.
