Blank is deliberately changed in scientific study

Liquefaction was one reason the kobe wharfs were destroyed and other areas nearby. what is liquefaction? a. it is when conditions in the soil send the seismic wave out to the mountains and bounce back b. it is when conditions in the soil change to vigorous p-wave shaking when the surface waves pass by c. it referes to the fact that when an earthquake occurs wet and soft soil will vibrate more vigorously then solid rocky soil strangely in kobe some streets had very bad damage but the next street over had far less damage. what caused this? a. the waves passed through the city hit the mountains and returned back to the city. at some points the incoming and outgoing waves amplified their strength b. the mountains also had a quake and sent waves into the city c. waves hit the moutains and took longer to return

Joe is breeding cockroaches in his dorm room. he finds that the average wing length in his population of cockroaches is 4 cm. he chooses the six cockroaches that have the largest wings; the average wing length among these selected cockroaches is 10 cm. joe interbreeds these selected cockroaches. from earlier studies, he knows that the narrow-sense heritability for wing length in his population of cockroaches is 0.6. a. calculate the selection differential and expected response to selection for wing length in these cockroaches. b. what should be the average wing length of the progeny of the selected cockroaches?

After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow. researchers have created a robot that has a very thin leg that is moved by cardiac (heart) cells contracting in unison. the robot, made of a polymer similar to that used in making contact lenses, is bathed in heart cells with supporting cells, which then attach to the robot and provide movement as they contract. all of the cardiac cells working together can cause the robot leg to move in a way that individual cells could not. this is an example of a. emergent properties of cells. b. energy flow through an ecosystem. c. adaptation. d. internal environment regulation.
