Why does a rapidly moving cold front cause more severe weather (thunderstorms/heavy rain) compared to a warm front?
Cold air is denser and acts like a snowplow, forcing warm, moist air upward very quickly, which causes rapid condensation and cloud formation.
A brown-furred rabbit (BB) mates with a white-furred rabbit (bb). If two of their brown-furred offspring (F1 generation) mate, what is the exact percentage chance that they will produce a white-furred baby?
25%
What is the most abundant element in the universe?
Hydrogen
What is the primary function of the cardiovascular system?
To transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.
What is a cold front?
When cold air advances on warm air.
How does the Coriolis effect change the direction of global winds in the Northern Hemisphere?
It causes winds to curve to the right
How many alleles does an offspring inherit?
Offspring inherit one allele for each gene from each parent, making two alleles total.
What is the chemical formula for water?
H2o
What are the four parts that make up blood?
Plasma, Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), and Platelets.
What type of weather does a cold front bring?
Intense, short-lived storms, heavy rain, or snow.
If the dew point is very close to the air temperature, what does that indicate about the humidity and the likelihood of precipitation?
The relative humidity is nearly 100% (saturated), meaning it is very likely to rain, fog, or form clouds.
What is a heterozygous condition?
A genotype with two different alleles (Hh), where the dominant allele masks the recessive one.
What does the atomic number of an atom represent?
The number of protons
Which blood vessel carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart?
Arteries
What happens to temperature after a cold front passes?
It drops
Why do coastal regions often have more moderate temperatures compared to inland areas at the same latitude?
Water takes longer to heat up and cool down than land, resulting in cooler summers and warmer winters near the ocean
Can traits be influenced by the environment?
yes
What is the smallest unit of matter?
Atom
How many bones are in an adult human body?
206
What is the symbol for a cold front?
Blue line with triangles.
What is the primary cause of air movement (wind) on Earth?
Uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates differences in air pressure
Why do siblings look different?
While they share parents, offspring inherit a random mix of alleles, ensuring genetic diversity unless they are identical twins.
Why does iron rust?
Oxidation reaction
What attaches muscles to bones?
Tendons
What happens to the warm air at a cold front?
It is forced upward rapidly
