Passing through clay beds affect groundwater because it will take time for it to pass and penetrate through clay. Water cannot pass deeper to get across, the direction is horizontal to the most penetrable part of the soil where it can pass.

Answer from: Redeyestudio53

Clay beds have great impact on the ground water flow. The clay particles are fine grained and they have a relatively high surface area, in comparison to the sand particles. As a result of which they have the ability to hold water in them. This property is known as the porosity. But clay beds have low permeability as a result of which the water is not allowed to pass through the medium.

Porosity is defined as the amount of pore spaces present in a material. This porosity and the grain size of the particles are inversely proportional to each other. This means that a finer particles has high porosity.

Permeability is defined as the property of a material that allows the water to pass through them and mixes with the groundwater.

Due to the high porosity and low permeability of clay beds, it traps the water in its void spaces and transmits at a very slower rate, thereby affecting the groundwater flow.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning. (2 points)
