Surprising new evidence has shown that, in some cases, environmental factors can modify chromosomes in such a way that changes the expression of genes without changing genes themselves or any part of the dna sequence. these modifications are called epigenetic effects. epigenetic effects can sometimes even be passed from generation to generation. in what way would this kind of "inheritance" be an exception to mendel's laws?

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.

According the inverse square law, doubling the distance from the source of the sound, a speaker, for example, will drop the sound 6 db each time. if you were standing in the back of an auditorium, 32 feet away from a speaker not using any amplification, would you be able to hear a speaker clearly? why or why not?

Suppose you use three different scale to weigh a bag of oranges. one scale says the nag weighs 2.1 lb, and third says it weighs 2.1 lb. the actual weight of the bag of oranges is 2.153 lb. which of the following best decribes these results?
