Our environment is sometimes divided into different spheres, including the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Interactions between the geosphere and atmosphere can have an impact on Earth’s weather. Which of the following is an example of an interaction between the geosphere and atmosphere? 1.Melting of ice from a glacier into a body of water

2.Eruption of lava, gases, and ash from a volcano

3.Evaporation of water from the ocean

4.Animals completing cell respiration and exhaling CO2

In a classic experiment using pea shape, mendel conducted two separate genetic crosses. in the first cross the parent plants were “true breeding” for pea shape; one had round peas ( r )and the other had wrinkled (r). the first cross produced a filial 1 generation of all round peas. in the second cross, mendel bred plants from the filial 1 generation. this cross produced different results. out of approximately 1000 plants, about 75% were round and 25% were wrinkled.

Cladistics is a way of classifying organisms by examining the characteristics of their ancestors and descendants and depicting the relationships in a cladogram. which of the following best describes a challenge in classifying organisms this way? a. there are millions of species on earth, and a cladogram is not a practical means for classifying all of them. b. it is impossible to tell which organisms are most closely related to each other using a cladogram. c. cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships. d. there is a limited number of ways to organize the information, so most cladograms end up looking very similar.
