There is oil that is coming up on the beach from the waves. What most likely caused the oil to get in the water?

A) Animals have carried oil from land to the water.
B) An accident caused an oil rig to spill oil into the ocean.
C) The wind has blown oil into the ocean from land.
D) The oil has come from a crack in the ocean floor.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

it would be B

Explanation:

it makes the most sense

Answer 2

An accident caused an oil rig to spill oil into the ocean, most likely caused the oil to get in the water, hence option B is correct.

What are the causes of oil spills?

Although incidents involving tankers, barges, pipelines, refineries, drilling rigs, and storage facilities are the most common source of oil spills in rivers, bays, and the ocean, they can also involve recreational boats and marinas. People making errors or being negligent can result in spills.

The source of between one-third and fifty percent of the oil in the water are natural seeps. These are specific locations on the seafloor where springs of oil and gas can be seen rising buoyantly from oil-rich sediments that have been naturally raised up close to the earth's surface.

Therefore, option B is correct.

Examine the genotype for an individual who is AaBbCcDc. Predict the outcomes of meiosis and the potential gamete combinations that could form from this individual select all that apply

Answers

Answer: 16 different gametes

ABCDABCdABcDABcdAbCDAbCdAbcDAbcdaBCDaBCdaBcDaBcdabCDabCdabcDabcd

Explanation:

Gamete formation involves the random and independent segregation of alleles. During anaphase 1 (meiosis), occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair.  

The number of gametes with different combinations is 2ⁿ, where  

n = number of homologous pairs.  

In the exposed example there are 4 pairs of chromosomes, so

the number of possible combinations of chromosomes = 2ⁿ = 2⁴ = 16

Individual: AaBbCcDdEe

You can make use of the fork line method to easily figure out the possible gametes.

Explain why selective breeding of plants takes a long time (

Answers

Hello! Selective breeding means choosing the plants or animals that have the most pronounced desirable characteristics and breeding them. It takes generations to make the desirable characteristics develop more and more, until finally they are at the desired level. Meaning the reason why it takes so long is because you need to breed multiple generations. Hope this helps!

Explanation:

got it right on edgenu1ty

The student hypothesizes that the green pod color in pea plants is dominant and the yellow pod color is recessive. An observation that would disprove this hypothesis is that two plants with yellow pods produce offspring with green pods, which is the second option.

What is the importance of dominance?

The complete dominant allele will express itself in the heterozygous condition because it will suppress the recessive allele and express itself. Here, the green is dominant over the yellow, so the green can be purebred or can have a heterozygous condition, so the green pod having a heterozygous condition can produce both the green and the yellow pods. The yellow pods are recessive, so they can only produce yellow offspring, not green offspring, as they are only expressed in the purebred recessive forms.

Hence, an observation that would disprove this hypothesis is that two plants with yellow pods produce offspring with green pods, which is the second option.

EXPLANATION:

Problem:

Habitat loss and degradation, disease outbreak, invasive species, pollution, over‐exploitation/overfishing, and climate change are notable problems experienced by freshwater and marine fishes.

Solution:

Anthropogenic activities and stressors that rapidly threaten freshwater and marine fishes are curbed through legislation and other means to prevent extinction of fishes.

Through conservation programs that plans for individual species to more species of entire faunas of a particular location also boost population size and prevent hunting of threatened or endangered species in both realms.

Overtime, genetically modified fishes which can develop resistance to diseases are introduced to the realm.

Moreso, waste channels through which pollutants gets into the water bodies are well-treated for safety of fishes.

Answer:

Explanation:

Earth's structures were created when the planet was first formed. Over time, its own gravitational and magnetic forces drove the Earth's core rotation.  Other geological activities affected its structures; such as glacial movements, tectonic plates collisions and submersion, volcanic eruptions and so on. There were also major external events the asteroid impact that killed most lives on Earth. Human activities' impact on Earth's structures were relatively small until the recent centuries.

one of the seed banks has been storing seeds of a rare and endangered plant to keep the seeds fresh.120 of the seeds of this plant were selected to be grown out of this 120 seeds only 90 germinated

what percentage of the seeds was not fertile?show all your working​

Answers

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

According to this question, a seek stored seeds of a rare and endangered plant. In order to ensure that the seeds remain fresh, 120 seeds are selected to be grown. However, out of these 120 seeds, only 90 germinated. This means that only 90 of 120 seeds are fertile.

This further means that (120-90) = 30 seeds are infertile and hence, could not germinate. In percentage, this can be represented as:

30/120 × 100

= 1/4 × 100

= 100/4

= 25% of the selected seeds are infertile.
