Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Transcription

Explanation:

Transcription is the first process of gene expression involving the synthesis of a mRNA molecule from a segment of DNA (gene). Transcription is key to the production of proteins, which bring about biochemical activities, in every living organism. The process of transcription is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.

According to the question that describes a chemical found to be produced by a tropical tree that kills insects. The chemical is discovered to deactivate RNA polymerase enzyme in the insect. This utterly means the chemical is interfering with the process of transcription of genes in the insect because transcription cannot occur without RNA polymerase.

Well , not all humans are part mongolian. Usually it refers to people of south asia , east asia which includes countries sourrounding indonesia and other island countries around it. But if you were to look at the west of the world , also north asia including europe , they arent part mongolian.

Thank you

Only certain people are part Mongolian, the reason for this is because of Genghis Khan. He forced himself upon many women in the towns he went to, that is why some people are Mongolian. He did conquer most of Europe and Asia, so many people were effected by his presence.

In the Endosymbiotic Theory for the origin of eukaryotes, the final step was the engulfing a functional cyanobacterium to produce photosynthetic eukaryotes ("plants"). Why is this stage considered the final step in the sequence of eukaryote evolution?

Answers

Answer:

The Endosymbiotic Theory of eukaryote evolution is known as Symbiogenesis that states the evolution of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms.

The engulfing a functional cyanobacterium to produce photosynthetic eukaryotes ("plants") is considered as final step of the eukaryote evolution because a functional cyanobacterium closely resemble the chloroplast and related to mitochondria and it maintains a large genome that encodes thousands of proteins.

A photosynthetic eukaryotes ("plants") require cholorplast (green pigment) for photosynthesis and protein synthesis, which all are provided by functional cyanobacterium, after that a eukaryote can functions as an individual eukaryote and not as prokaryote, and hence engulfing functional cyanobacterium is considered as last step of eukaryote evolution.

A willingness to accept different ideas that may not agree with their hypothesis is called what?

Answers

Answer:

ad hoc hypotheses

Explanation:

This statement could be used for any hypothesis in which the results (different ideas) do not agree with their hypothesis. In other words, there were no verifiable tests that could make valid the accepted hypothesis.

Thus, the researcher only accepted the hypothesis without a sound basis for doing so.

Pinky's science fair project in junior high focused on an observation that the crickets outside her window chirped less frequently when the temperature was colder.

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The complete question: Pinky's science fair project in junior high focused on an observation that the crickets outside her window chirped less frequently when the temperature was colder. Consider if data was collected consisting of the average number of cricket chirps  at different temperatures in her backyard. What's the independent variable?

The independent variable would be the temperature.

Independent variables are variables that produce effects on another variable while remaining unaffected themselves. They can be manipulated in the course of a research in order to measure the kind of effects they exert on other variables - the dependent variables to be specific. The dependent variables are the actual variables needed to test the hypothesis of a research.

In this case, a variation in temperature was observed to have an effect on the chirping frequency of crickets. Hence, the independent variable would be the temperature.

2 ways pea plants pollinate​

Answers

Answer:

Pea plants are naturally self pollinating.......

Explanation:

As they are self pollinating , there's no any way for their pollination . But we can also pollinate the pea plants manually

Answer:

Method 1 : Self-Pollination

Peas are naturally self-pollinating and self-pollination happens before the flowers open.

In self-pollination, pollen grains from anthers on one plant are transferred to stigmas of flowers on the same plant.

Method 2 : Cross -pollination

Peas can  be cross-pollinated by hand, simply by ;

opening the flower buds to remove their pollen-producing stamen which prevents self-pollination and dusting the pollen from one plant to the stigma of another.

What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. The colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. Equations were used to identify regions around the nucleus where electrons would likely be. Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

Answers

Few positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back is the evidence that is responsible for the development of atomic model. Rutherford performed an experiment in which alpha particles are allowed to fire on the gold foil.

Some of the particles bounced back which tell us that there are heavy particles present in the center of an atom.

Most alpha particles pass through the atom which tell us that there is a lot of empty space in an atom.

There is also a slight deflection that occur due to similar charge that tells us the element which is present in the nucleus has positive charge.

1. Which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom?
8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons
6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons
8 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons
06 protons, 6 electrons, and 12 neutrons

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.

Explanation:

This is because Oxygen's atomic number is 8 and its atomic weight is 15.99 units. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. This means that there are 8 protons, along with 8 electrons, because the amount of electrons in an atom are equal to the number of protons (not including ions.) Additionally, to discover the amount of neutrons present in the given atom, you must take the atomic weight and subtract the atomic number (aka # of protons present). Once you subtract, you will be left with the number of neutrons. Since the atomic weight is 15.99, you will round it up to 16 and subtract 8, leaving 8 neutrons present. In all, it has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons.

Why is the amount of fertilizer known as the independent variable?

Answers

Answer:

You can think of an independent variable is the variable that is being varied by you the experimenter or scientist; it is the input/"cause"/the tunable variable. A dependent variable is the response/output/"effect".

There is also the control variable, which are variables that stay constant throughout. You generally have only one independent variable and many control variables so that you can properly disentangle cause and effect.

A simple example might be say you want to know if a certain brand of fertilizer helps your crops grow. You want to see how much fertilizer you need for optimal growth without using too much. What is the independent and dependent variable? (Highlight below for the answer!)

The independent variable is the amount of fertilizer you put on the crop. It is the variable that you, as the tester, vary yourself. The dependent variable is how much your crop grows. What about the control? It is the crop you choose to use the fertilizer on (e.g., corn, wheat, peas). Certainly, comparing the influence of fertilizer between corn and peas would not definitely tell you whether the fertilizer is effective; if you compared two different crops, you would have other confounding variables out of your control, so you want to test it only on one crop at a time.

I put cause and effect in quotes because you may run into one of many cause/effect fallacies (or mistaken beliefs). It is possible (and often happens in research) where you plot what you think is an independent and its dependent variable, but the reality is quite different! There are two common types- spurious relationships and spurious correlations. A spurious relationship is one in which a direct cause/effect relationship is concluded incorrectly when in fact there is a lurking or hidden variable unaccounted for. One commonly cited example is say you find an increase of death by drownings and ice cream sales. It would be incorrect to infer that eating more ice cream causes more drownings, or vice versa. The lurking variable that can explain both is hot weather (i.e., people eat more ice cream and go swimming more to cool down). A spurious correlation is incorrectly inferring the extent of how related two variables are (not necessarily a cause/effect relation, but something used often in statistics). Here is a website that illustrates quite ridiculous correlations (a pet project of a graduate student), emphasizing that correlation is not causation.

what observations do you have about the bacteria cell​

Answers

Answer:

Bacteria cells have no membrane bound organelles.Bacteria cells are prokaryotic.Bacteria cells have cell walls.Bacteria cells have strong flexible layers surrounding their cell membranes.

Bacteria are called prokaryotes; they lack a nucleus and do not present organelles in the cytoplasm, their observable characteristics are:

The nuclear region of bacteria is not surrounded by a membrane, and consists simply of a single circular double-stranded DNA molecule, which constitutes the bacterium's chromosome (genome).

The bacterial cell wall is composed of a macromolecular network called peptidoglycan or murein.

The cell wall that gives them their shape and provides mechanical protection, since bacteria are found in environments that can have different concentrations of solute.

Glycocalyx is the polysaccharide-containing structure located on the outer side of the bacterial cell wall.

Some bacteria produce flagella, these are long, thin appendages that serve as locomotion organelles.

Axial filament a series of fibrils that arise at the ends of the cell below the outer sheath and follow a helical path around the cell.

The fibria are structures that enable bacteria to adhere to inert surfaces or to form films on the surface of liquids.

Therefore, we can conclude that bacteria are microorganisms that contain structures required for their growth and self-replication, without them these microorganisms lose their integrity.
