(g): 2.
(h): 5. and 3.
Explanation:
Sedimentary rocks are rocks generated from pre-existing rocks and/or once-living organisms. Arkose is a type of sandstone rich in feldspar (at least 25% of this mineral). Moreover, a rock containing coral fossils indicates that its depositional environment was located in warm tropical reef waters. Mudstone is a kind of sedimentary rock composed of clay (in this case, sediments continued to be deposited above the dinosaur footprints). The black shales are fine-grained sedimentary rocks composed of a mixture of clay (in this case, the pyrite crystals are used as an indicator of low oxygen). Symmetrical ripple marks in the sandstone indicate a marine environment where water motion was dominated by wave oscillations. Cross-bedding is a common structure of sedimentary rocks that form during deposition on inclined surfaces of bedforms (e.g., ripples and dunes). Sediment deposition in swamps is usually heavily vegetated and therefore they are rich in organic matter, while deeper swamp sediments are generally anoxic. Finally, cobblestones are naturally occurring cobble-sized stones formed from the flow of water and gathered from stream beds, while pebblestones are formed when water bodies hit the giant rocks in the rivers and lakes.
Why are ferns and mosses poorly adapted to a terrestrial life
Answer:
Because they require a WATER medium for reproduction
Explanation:
Ferns are a group of living organisms under the division; Pteridophyta while mosses belong to the group Bryophyta. Mosses are considered primitive and non-vascular plants because they lack true stems, leaves and roots or vascular tissues. while ferns possess these organs, hence, are said to be vascular.
However, ferns and mosses are poorly adapted to a terrestrial life i.e. life on land because they both require a water medium for their motile male gametes to swim and fertilize their eggs (female gametes).

It depicts asexual reproduction occurring through budding, a process that does not lead to genetic
variation
Answer:it depicts asexual reproduction occurring through binary fission, a process that does not lead to genetic variation
Explanation:
The choice that best describes the image shown above is it depicts asexual reproduction occurring through binary fission, a process that does not lead to genetic variation. The correct option is C.
What is asexual reproduction?Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which only one parent is needed. There are different types of asexual reproduction, like budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, and binary fission.
This reproduction does not require the fusion of sperm and egg. The offspring is exactly identical to the parent. Many organisms reproduce in asexual reproduction, hydra, paramecium, starfish, etc.
Thus, the correct option is C. it depicts asexual reproduction occurring through binary fission, a process that does not lead to genetic variation.

River dolphins are morphologically distinct from other dolphins and are primarily restricted to freshwater ecosystems in Asia and South America.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The river dolphin is a group of aquatic animals that is specially adapted to the fresh water and are relatively smaller compared to the other dolphins. They have evolved to survive in shallow waters and strong-river currents. These dolphins are not very widely disturbed and are found in certain deltas and rivers.19.

Explanation:
the development of lateral roots is intiated by the the cork or periderm
Answer:
Because lateral roots are initiated in the pericycle and grow out through the cortex and epidermis, they are said to have an internal, or endogenous, origin, in contrast to the external, or exogenous, origin of leaves and the apical meristem of stems (see below Stems).

The owners of a local bakery ask for your help in improving a special yeast strain they use to make bread. They would like you to help them design experiments using RNA interference to turn off genes, to allow them to test their hypothesis that certain genes are important for the good flavors found in their bread. Of the components in the following list, which is the most important to check for in this yeast strain if you would like this project to succeed?
a. the presence of foreign double-stranded RNA
b. the presence of genes in the genome that code for RISC proteins
c. the presence of miRNA genes in the genome
d. the presence of single-stranded siRNAs within the cell
Answer:
b. the presence of genes in the genome that code for RISC proteins
Explanation:
The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is a naturally occurring pathway by which eukaryotic cells can silence specific genes both at the transcriptional (eg., by triggering DNA methylation on specific loci) and posttranscriptional (e.g., by triggering mRNA degradation) levels. This mechanism (RNAi) is widely used in molecular biology laboratories in order to silence genes and thus understand their functions. During the RNAi pathway, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are cleaved into small double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules known as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) by an enzyme referred to as "Dicer". Subsequently, these small non-coding RNAs bind to an enzymatic complex known as RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) that contains a ribonuclease enzyme, i.e., an enzyme that degrades RNA. Finally, the small non-coding RNA (either siRNAs or miRNAs) that are complementary to the RNA target directs the RISC complex to bind and cleave specific mRNAs, thereby silencing gene expression (in this case, by the inhibition of protein translation).
PLEASE HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. What 2 factors affect organisms and their habitats, and give examples of each
Answer:
There are two categories of these factors: abiotic and biotic. Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that can often have a major influence on living organisms. Abiotic factors include water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and temperature.
Explanation:
Biotic factors are interactions associated with living organisms. They can also influence the distribution of organisms in an ecosystem. grazing - too little leads to dominant plants outcompeting other species, too much reduces species numbers overall. Both decrease biodiversity.
Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations. They help determine the types and numbers of organisms able to exist within an environment.

The amount of light, pressure, and temperature are examples of?
Explanation:
The answer is No. You know light from Stars travel in cold temperature of space and different pressure as they enter our planet after travelling many light year to reach us at the same the speed.
Light bends when entering a different medium(refraction). Even if the medium is same and the temperature is different it will get bend. As the 2 different temperature air behave like 2 mediums (Due to distribution of atoms ).
But light doesn't’ bend by heating or by putting pressure on it.

1, name the part of the reproductive system in which fertilisation happens.
2, what is an embryo
3, where does the embryo develop into a foetus, and then a baby
4, why does the uterus lining start to grow thick and spongy, as an egg cell develops in an ovary
5, what happens to the uterus lining if the egg cell is not fertilised
6, how often does an egg cell leave an ovary, in an adult woman
7, how often does menstruation happen, in an adult woman
Answer:
°•°
Explanation:
1.fallopian tube
2.an unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development, in particular a human offspring during the period from approximately the second to the eighth week after fertilization (after which it is usually termed a fetus)
3.First, the zygote becomes a solid ball of cells. Then it becomes a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst. Inside the uterus, the blastocyst implants in the wall of the uterus, where it develops into an embryo attached to a placenta and surrounded by fluid-filled membranes.
4.Eggs live in ovaries, and the hormones that control your menstrual cycle cause a few eggs to mature every month. When your egg is mature, it means it's ready to be fertilized by a sperm cell. These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy, which gets your body ready for pregnancy.
5.The fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. The placenta then develops. The placenta transfers nutrition and oxygen to the fetus from mother. If the egg does not become fertilized, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is shed during menstruation.
6.The egg cell travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus. The moment the egg cell leaves the ovary is called ovulation. Once a girl has had her first monthly period, ovulation usually occurs once a month
7.The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21 to 45 days in young teens. The rise and fall of levels of hormones during the month control the menstrual cycle.

Cómo se denomina al tipo de acción metabólica que genera la glucólisis y respiración celular?
Answer:
catabolismo.
Explicación:
El tipo de acción metabólica que genera la glucólisis y la respiración celular se llama catabolismo porque en ambos procesos se descomponen las moléculas lo cual es una acción catabólica. El catabolismo es una forma de metabolismo que descompone moléculas más grandes en unidades más pequeñas que son utilizadas por la célula para liberar energía o utilizadas en otras reacciones anabólicas significa la síntesis de moléculas complejas en organismos a partir de otras más simples.
