The correct option are as follows:
estimating temperature to the nearest tenth of a degree
estimating the mass of the sample to the nearest tenth of a gram
the position of the cups of sand and water under the heat lamp
<u>Explanation:</u>
Error is an uncertainty or the amount of deviation in a physical quantity. There may arise some deviance while measuring physical quantity due to approximation.
Instrumental, environmental, procedural, and human are some of the common sources of error. The error can be classified into two types:
i) Random error
ii) Systematic error
Types of error are determined based on the deviation in the result. While observing the temperature of something, the temperature should be noted to the nearest tenth of a degree. In similar way, the mass of the sample should be estimated to the nearest tenth of a gram.
<u>ANSWER:</u>
The correct option is B- Qualitative.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
When the growth of corn has to be recorded, the quality of the corn grown in different soils needs to be recorded. Qualitative methods are best used to classify quality of anything.
Qualitative data basically is non-numerical data which in the case of corns can be the length of the corn plant, the sweetness of the corn kernel or the hardness or softness of the corn. This data cannot be recorded using numerical values and so other methods of data recording cannot be used.
<span>Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.</span>
Answer: Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .
Explanation: A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.
