Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

A.) will be tall.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, when true breeding parents for a contrasting characteristic (such as tall plant and dwarf plant height) are allowed to breed, the trait that is dominant, appears in the next generation.

Dominant trait (depicted by capital letter allele) masks the expression of a recessive trait (depicted by small letter allele).

Recessive trait only appears when the genotype is homozygous recessive (that is having both recessive alleles).

In this question, recessive gene for tallness is paired with another recessive gene. This form a homozygous recessive genotype.

Thus, the organism will be tall.

The answer is letter A. According to the principal of dominance, if a recessive gene for tallness is paired with another recessive gene for tallness, the organism will be tall.<span> 

By principle, any of two recessive genes will form the characteristic it holds. Dominant genes however only require one to for a trait.

Soil erosion is a process where the top soil layer is washed away because of the effects of water or wind. An agricultural area
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Plant vegetation so that their roots hold the soil firmly.

Build walls around the farm area.

Add natural fertilizers to the soil.

Soil erosion is a process of removal of top layer of soil which get sediment at some other place due to the affect of agents like wind and water. The superficial upper layers of soil are rich source of nutrients and organic matter and active region for germination of seeds and plant growth. Soil erosion removes these superficial layers making soil less fertile or not fertile and less useful for plant growth.

Plants growing in a vegetation have roots which can hold the soil and will prevent soil erosion from wind and water or any other agent. Building of walls around the farm area will prevent flood water to get inside the farm area and hence, prevents soil erosion by water. Addition of natural fertilizers to the soil adds up nutrients to the soil which facilitate plant growth and plant roots hold the soil therefore, prevents soil erosion.

During each heartbeat, about 80 g of blood is pumped into the aorta in approximately 0.2 s. during this time, the blood is accel
aivan3 [116]
I assume that in this item, we are asked to solve for the force exerted during the heartbeat. Force is the product of the mass and acceleration. To solve for the acceleration in this item, we divide the velocity by time.
                                   a = 1 m/s /  0.2 s = 5 m/s²
Then, we multiply this by the mass (in kg)
                                  F = (80 g / 1000 g/kg) x (5 m/s²)
                                      = 0.4 kg m/s² = 0.4 J
Therefore, every hearbeat will take 0.4 J of force.

Burka [1]

This scientific law is called as Law of conservation of energy.

Sun is the primary source of energy .Energy once produced by the sun is then utilized by the organisms at various tropic levels. The energy is transferred from one organism to another. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. This is called as law of conservation of energy. Plants uses sunlight and make food   and the energy is then transferred to organisms eating it. When the organism dies the energy is released into the environment. This cycle continues and the the law of conservation of energy is maintained.
