A neutral object is rubbed with a material such that it becomes positively-charged. What must have happened?

The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid solution depends on the pressure of the gas. Under a high pressure, greater amounts of gas can be dissolved. Pressure is used to increase the solubility of carbon dioxide gas in

The DNA of every human includes two sex chromosomes, which determine gender and the traits associated with gender. Female sex chromosomes are both of type X, while a male has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.
How is the gender of human offspring determined?

Which chart depicts the evolutionary relationship between the hummingbirds and flowers described?
Certain types of red-colored flowers produce nectar that is chemically ideal as food for a hummingbird. The hummingbird can easily locate these flowers because it can see the color red especially well. The recurved petals of these flowers remain out of the hummingbird’s way while it extracts nectar with its long beak that is perfectly suited for the task. As it does so, the hummingbird’s head feathers brush against the flowers, collecting pollen that it carries away and disperses.

In the early 19th century, almost all peppered moths collected by biologists in the U.K. were pale and mottled. Only rarely was a collector able to find a dark-peppered moth. After the Industrial Revolution, when furnaces filled the air with dark soot, the light-peppered moth became rare and the dark-peppered moth was most common in industrial cities. A reasonable explanation for this change is that the dark moth was less likely to be seen and eaten by birds against the dark background. This explanation illustrates the principle of

When a source emits sound energy, sound waves spread out over an ever-enlarging sphere, decreasing in intensity as they travel. Also, some sound energy is absorbed by the air (or other medium) along the way.

In addition to magnifying the image of an object, a microscope inverts the image left to right. The image of the object observed through the microscope is also upside down. Looking through the eyepiece, you would therefore see the upside-down mirror image of the object under the microscope lens.What would the object below look like if observed through the microscope?
