Answer:

clastic sedimentary rock is a correct option.

Explanation:

Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering process, In this process rocks get breakdown into sand, clay particles by the wind, water, and ice.

Clastic sedimentary rocks are also known as sandstone, and they are made of rocks and minerals. They are classified based upon composition, size, and texture.

The only option that matches your conditions is the fourth and last one.

Clastic sedimentary rocks, as the statement says, are formed when weathered remains of other rocks are deposited.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

How can using a dam as a source of freshwater also harm agricultural resources?

Snezhnost [94]

The dam acts as a barrier between upstream and downstream. Dams are also built for irrigation, but it is also deliberately destroyed in favor of irrigated farming. Though it provides freshwater, and makes people be protected by droughts, but it can also damage the agricultural resources by limiting the water in some areas.

The F2 generation phenotypes for each cross are shown in Table 1. (See attachment) Which of the following is the mean number per cross of F2 generation offspring that are the result of crossing over?

Answer:

B, 2.2

Explanation:

The parental genotypes are long and black vs short and white. Therefore the phenotypes that result from crossing over are long and white, and short and black. (middle two rows of the table). If we add up the total number of offspring with these genotypes we get 6 long whites, and 5 short blacks.

The total is 11 from 5 crosses, so the mean is 11/5 = 2.2

Simora [160]

The answer is; warming of ocean water in the east of the Pacific Ocean close to the western coasts of South America.

The warming of the oceanic waters causes a current that pushes the warm waters eastwards of the Pacific Ocean at the equator. This counters and overpowers the prevailing trade winds that blow westwards. The currents bring in storms on the West coast of South America as the currents exchange heat with the atmosphere .

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

In horses, the Overo gene, Ov, produces a white splotch pattern on the coat. The overo phenotype is seen only when a horse has one Ov copy, Ovov. Horses with two Ov copies, OvOv, die soon after birth are called white overo because they are completely white. Horses with no Ov copies are solid colored, ovov.

The Leopard complex gene, Lp, shows incomplete dominance and controls white spotting. One Lp allele, Lplp, produces the leopard phenotype, in which there are spots everywhere. Two Lp alleles, LpLp, produce the fewspot phenotype, in which the horse is mostly white with colored spots.

A horse that is both overo and leopard is called pintaloosa, and these horses are spotted with splotches. A horse that is overo and fewspot is considered fewspot because the white areas from Lp is indistinguishable from the white from Ov.

Suppose that 16 pairs of pintaloosa horses have one offpring per pair. How many each phenotype would be expected? Determine the number out of 16 expected for each phenotype. Only count phenotypes of offspring expected to live past one week of age.

overo:

white overo:

fewspot:

Answer: Overo: 2

White overo: 0

Fewspot: 3

Explanation: Pintaloosa is a "combination" of overo and leopard, so the pair's genotype is OvovLplp.

To cross a pair, use Punnet Square and to facilitate, use the square for each characteristics:

Punnett Square For overo and white overo:

Ov ov

Ov OvOv Ovov

ov Ovov ovov

Analysing this Punnett square, notice that there are 2 individuals who will carry the genotype for overo (Ovov) phenotype. So, 2 out of the 16 pair will have an overo phenotype.

Since white overo is recessive (ovov) and doesn't survive past birth, there will be zero horses with that phenotype.

Punnett Square For leopard and fewspot:

Lp lp

Lp LpLp Lplp

lp Lplp lplp

From this square, notice that there are 1 individual who is fewspot. However, a horse that is overo and fewspot is considered fewspot, so for the 16 pair, 3 out 16 will be fewspot.
