A scientist crossed a tall pea plant with a short pea plant. Of the offspring, 13 were tall and 12 were short, write the ratio of each phenotype to the total number of offspring. Express the ratios as fractions
Answer:
Tall offsprings: 13/25
Short offsprings: 12/25
Explanation:
According to this question, a cross between a tall pea plant and a short pea plant gives rise to the following:
13 tall pea offsprings
12 short pea offsprings
This means that a total of (13 + 12) = 25 offsprings were produced by this cross. To get the ratio of each phenotype to the total number of offspring, we say the number of each phenotype (tall or short) / total offspring the produced.
That is;
Tall offsprings: 13/25
Short offsprings: 12/25
In percentage, this can be represented as:
Tall offsprings: 13/25 × 100 = 52%
Short offsprings: 12/25 × 100 = 48%

Pros of Biofuel
Pleas help it’s urgent
Answer:
Pros of Biofuels
Renewable – Biofuels are produced from plants and other organic material, so it can be replenished constantly. This is in contrast to the fossil fuels, which are constantly in the process of being depleted.
Clean – Biofuels are environment-friendly. They are much efficient & cleaner than fossil fuels, producing less air pollution and using materials that would otherwise be considered as waste products. Biofuels cause much less greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to the conventional types of transport fuels.
Inexpensive – They can be made easily by using local materials. Biofuels are very cheap to afford. They are the cheapest types of fuels available in the world.
Flexible – can be easily mixed with other fuels.
Additives – Biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel are better for car engines than fossil fuels. Even if not being used as the main fuel source, they can be used as additives to improve performance.
Carbon neutral – the amount of carbon dioxide created by the burning of biofuels is equal to the CO2 absorption capacity of the plants. Hence, no extra CO2 remains in the atmosphere.

Why does it take longer for your body to break down complex carbohydrates than simple carbohydrates?
Explanation:
complex carb pack more nutrients are simple carbs that are high in fiber and digest more slowly this makes them more ceiling which means a good option to for weight control
The small intestine is where carbohydrates are chemically broken down, instead of the stomach. The disaccharides and pancreatic amylase complete the chemical cleavage of digestible carbs.
What are the complex carbohydrates in the body?The building blocks of large polysaccharides are lengthy, complicated chains of sugar molecules.
Peas, beans, whole grains, and vegetables are examples of foods that are sources of complex carbohydrates. The body converts simple and complex carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar), which is then used as fuel.
Longer-lasting blood glucose increase and longer-lasting energy elevation are produced by complex carbs.
Therefore, complex carbs are more efficient in giving the body energy, which is the main purpose of carbohydrates.

What is an example of the lithosphere?
Answer:
Rocky Mountain range in western North America.
Explanation:
Lithosphere is defined as the rock and crust surface that covers the Earth.
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below.
Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous. The asthenosphere is viscous, and the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) is the point where geologists and rheologists—scientists who study the flow of matter—mark the difference in ductility between the two layers of the upper mantle. Ductility measures a solid material’s ability to deform or stretch under stress. The lithosphere is far less ductile than the asthenosphere.
There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust, and is slightly denser than continental lithosphere.
How the Lithosphere Interacts with Other Spheres
The cool, brittle lithosphere is just one of five great “spheres” that shape the environment of Earth. The other spheres are the biosphere (Earth’s living things); the cryosphere (Earth’s frozen regions, including both ice and frozen soil); the hydrosphere (Earth’s liquid water); and the atmosphere (the air surrounding our planet). These spheres interact to influence such diverse elements as ocean salinity, biodiversity, and landscape.
For instance, the pedosphere is part of the lithosphere made of soil and dirt. The pedosphere is created by the interaction of the lithosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Enormous, hard rocks of the lithosphere may be ground down to powder by the powerful movement of a glacier (cyrosphere). Weathering and erosion caused by wind (atmosphere) or rain (hydrosphere) may also wear down rocks in the lithosphere. The organic components of the biosphere, including plant and animal remains, mix with these eroded rocks to create fertile soil—the pedosphere.
The lithosphere also interacts with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere to influence temperature differences on Earth. Tall mountains, for example, often have dramatically lower temperatures than valleys or hills. The mountain range of the lithosphere is interacting with the lower air pressure of the atmosphere and the snowy precipitation of the hydrosphere to create a cool or even icy climate zone. A region’s climate zone, in turn, influences adaptations necessary for organisms of the region’s biosphere.

Explanation:
which nuetrom delivers info to the central nervous system
Answer:
sensory neuron
Explanation:
Proteins and carbohydrates have many functions in the body of an organism. Specific proteins and carbohydrates perform specific tasks. Information about
a protein and a carbohydrate is given below.
Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein containing Iron, which is
needed by all living things. Iron is found
In hemoglobin and in cytochromes, which
function in metabolism. Free iron can
damage proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Glycogen
Glycogen is a carbohydrate that consists of
glucose molecules. It can be hydrolyzed as
glucose as needed by an organism.
How are ferritin and glycogen similar in their primary functions for an organism?
O Both store materials needed by the organism.
Both store energy used by the organism.
Both support the structure of the organism.
O Both store information for the organism.
Answer:
Both store materials needed by the organism.
Explanation:
Proteins and carbohydrates are two biomolecules present in living organisms. They perform varying functions in the body of an organism. According to this question, a specific protein (ferritin) and carbohydrate (glycogen) is described.
Ferritin is a protein molecule containing Iron (Fe). Iron is needed by living organisms as it plays a vital role in organism's metabolism. On the other hand, glycogen is a carbohydrate molecule that is made up of glucose molecules, needed by living organisms.
Based on the description of the two biomolecules provided, they are similar in their primary functions for an organism in the sense that THEY BOTH STORE MATERIALS (glucose and iron) NEEDED BY AN ORGANISM.
Igneous extrusive rocks have what crystal sizes ?

Explanation:
Explain the connection between the oxidation of water in photosystem II of the light-dependent reactions and the synthesis of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in the light-independent reactions.
Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
This question is describing the processes involved in photosynthesis. In the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis, specifically photosystem II (PSII), water is oxidized in a process called PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER. This process produces electrons and Hydrogen ions (H+). The electrons produced via this process is accepted by NAD+ to yield NADH.
The NADH is an electron carrier produced during the light-dependent stage and used to reduce 3-phsophoglycerate (PGA) produced in the light-independent stage to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).
