Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What is water falling from the sky called? Choices: - vaporization - erosion - distillation - precipitation A:

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Radiation Protection Laws regulate radiation doses to which people can be exposed. The greatest occupational whole-body dose that is allowed depends upon the country and is about 20 to 50 mSv/y and is rarely reached by medical and nuclear power workers. Higher doses are allowed for the hands. Much lower doses are permitted for the reproductive organs and the fetuses of pregnant women. Inadvertent doses to the public are limited to 1 / 10 of occupational doses, except for those caused by nuclear power, which cannot legally expose the public to more than. Q: What laws regulate radiation doses to which people can be exposed? Choices: - medical regulation laws - voltage protection laws - dose regulation laws - radiation protection laws A:
radiation protection laws
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A coefficient is a small whole number placed in front of a formula in an equation in order to balance it. The 2 in front of the H 2 means that there are a total of atoms of hydrogen as reactants. Visually, the reaction looks like the Figure below . Q: What do you call a small whole number placed in front of a formula in an equation in order to balance it? Choices: - correlation - divisible - function - coefficient A:
A: coefficient
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: At the end of meiosis, haploid cells are produced. These cells need to further develop into mature gametes capable of fertilization, a process called gametogenesis ( Figure below ). Animals produce gametes directly through meiosis in organs called gonads. Gametogenesis differs between the sexes. In the male, the production of mature sperm cells, or spermatogenesis , results in four haploid gametes, whereas, in the female, the production of a mature egg cell, oogenesis , results in just one mature gamete. Q: Gametes are products through meiosis in which organs? Choices: - hormones - cones - kidneys - gonads A:
Answer: gonads

**Answer**
gene theory

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Linked Genes Violate the Law of Independent Assortment Although all of Mendel's pea characteristics behaved according to the law of independent assortment, we now know that some allele combinations are not inherited independently of each other. Genes that are located on separate nonhomologous chromosomes will always sort independently. However, each chromosome contains hundreds or thousands of genes, organized linearly on chromosomes like beads on a string. The segregation of alleles into gametes can be influenced by linkage, in which genes that are located physically close to each other on the same chromosome are more likely to be inherited as a pair. However, because of the process of recombination, or "crossover," it is possible for two genes on the same chromosome to behave independently, or as if they are not linked. To understand this, let's consider the biological basis of gene linkage and recombination. Homologous chromosomes possess the same genes in the same linear order. The alleles may differ on homologous chromosome pairs, but the genes to which they correspond do not. In preparation for the first division of meiosis, homologous chromosomes replicate and synapse. Like genes on the homologs align with each other. At this stage, segments of homologous chromosomes exchange linear segments of genetic material (Figure 12.18). This process is called recombination, or crossover, and it is a common genetic process. Because the genes are aligned during recombination, the gene order is not altered. Instead, the result of recombination is that maternal and paternal alleles are combined onto the same chromosome. Across a given chromosome, several recombination events may occur, causing extensive shuffling of alleles. Q: How do genes located on separate nonhomologous chromosomes sort? Choices: - mechanically - intradependently - typically - independently A:
(A).
independently
