ntroduction: The 19th century was the time of the Industrial Revolution in England. Most of the new industries used coal for energy, and the air was polluted with black soot. In forests near factories, the soot coated trees and killed lichens. As a result, tree trunks became darker. Experiment: Click Play and hunt peppered moths on dark tree trunks for five years. In each year, try to capture as many moths as you can. Why did the changes you observed in the moth populations happen

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Light colored peppered moths decreases in number and dark colored peppered moths increases.

Explanation:

The population of light colored peppered moths decreases whereas the dark colored peppered moths increases in number because the light colored peppered moths are visible to the predator birds  whereas the dark colored peppered moths are not visible due to dark coating of the trees so they are saved from the birds and therefore, increase in population of dark colored peppered moths occurs and decrease occur in light colored peppered moths population.

how is mitosis different in plants and animals
answers
A. in animals, the cell membrane pinches together.
B. in plants, the dna is one circular chromosome
C. in plants, there are no sister chromatids.
D. in animals, a new cell wall forms

Answers

Answer:

a

Explanation:

In animal cells, the cell can simply split apart and the membrane will form on its own while with plant cells in order to split it must first form a cell plate that will later become a cell wall.

A is the answer, because animal cells separate with no assistance, but in plant cells they must form a cell brocade that later turns into a cell wall for the newly formed cell.

If the genes were linked, the phenotypic and genotypic ratios would be different from 1:1:1:1. The observed proportions in the F1 would be different than the expected ones if genes would assort independently.

Transcribe the following DNA strand. Then translate the tRNA strand you wrote.

Answers

Answer:

Transcription into mRNA strand will produce: ACU CAG CUG ACC GAC UGG CAU CUG

Translation into amino acid sequence will yield: Threonine- Glutamine- Leucine- Threonine- Aspartic acid- Tryptophan- Histidine- Leucine

Explanation:

- Transcription is the process by which DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule in the nucleus (eukaryotes). The transcription, which is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase, follows the complementary base pairing rule i.e. A-T, G-C. Note that Uracil replaces Thymine in the RNA molecule.

Based on this question in which a DNA strand was given as follows: TGA GTC GAC TGG CTG ACC GTA GAC

The mRNA strand that will result from transcribing this DNA will be: ACU CAG CUG ACC GAC UGG CAU CUG

- Translation is the process by which mRNA strand is used to synthesize amino acid sequence (protein) in the ribosomes. In the mRNA sequence, nucleotides are read in a group of three called CODONS. Each codon specifies an amino acid. Based on the mRNA sequence as follows: ACU CAG CUG ACC GAC UGG CAU CUG, the amino acid sequence that will result after using the genetic code will be: Threonine (Thr)- Glutamine (Gln)- Leucine (Leu)- Threonine (Thr)- Aspartic acid (Asp)- Tryptophan (Try)- Histidine (His)- Leucine (Leu).

Results in science are not generally accepted as being accurate until they can be verified. Which of the following is an example of repetition in science? A.A student designs an experiment on plant growth that includes multiple trials. B.One scientist carries out the same experiment performed by another scientist to validate the results. C.A scientist poses a new question for investigation after reading the results of another scientist’s work. D.A scientist analyzes the data included in the published work of another scientist and agrees with the conclusions

Answers

Answer:

B) One scientist carries out the same experiment performed by another scientist to validate the results.

Explanation:

repetition definition is basically B.

One scientist carries out the same experiment performed by another scientist to validate the results. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What is repetition?

Repetition in science is the process of repeating an experiment or study to verify or validate the results. This is done to ensure that the results are accurate and reliable, and not due to chance or experimental error.

An example of repetition in science is when one scientist carries out the same experiment performed by another scientist in order to validate the results and confirm that they are accurate and consistent. This process helps to build confidence in the results and increases the credibility of the scientific findings.

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has a half-life of about 5,730
years. You have discovered a fossil and want to know how old the fossil is. You count
the parent and daughter atoms and calculate that you have about 6.25% of the
parent atom (carbon-14) left. How old is the fossil? (Provide units (years) for your
final answer. You must show your work.
2 points for showing work
1 point for final answer with units

Answers

Answer:

22,920 years

Explanation:

When the fossil first started to decay, it must have had 100% of its parent carbon-14 atoms. Every 5,730 years, that amount gets cut in half. Let's travel back a ways, to the very beginning, 0 years into the decay. We'll keep track of the time elapsed, the number of half-lifes, and the percent of carbon-14 remaining:

0 years (0 half-lives) - 100%5,730 years (1 half-life) - 50%11,460 years (2 half-lives) - 25%17,190 years (3 half-lives) - 11.5%22,920 years (4 half-lives) - 6.25%

That last one represents our situation, so the fossil is 22,920 years old.

Answers

Answer:

C. to reproduce

Explanation:

All living cells undergo division to produce more identical or different cells. The major types of cell divisions that cells undergo are; mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells being produced from a single cell while meiosis results in four daughter cells being produced.

The primary aim of any form of cell division is to REPRODUCE or PROCREATE the number of cells. For example, mitosis produces two (2) cells from 1 and so on....

G. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin
H. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Answers

Answer:

A. Growth hormone- anterior pituitary

Prolactin - anterior pituitary

Adrenocorticotropic hormone- anterior pituitary

Thyrotropic hormone- anterior pituitary

Luteinizing hormone - anterior pituitary

Oxytocin - hypothalamus

Antidiuretic hormone - hypothalamus

Follicle-stimulating hormone- anterior pituitary

Thyroxine (T1) - thyroid gland

Calcitonin - thyroid gland

Explanation:

The growth hormone is released  from the anterior pituitary gland. The  hormone acts on many parts of the body and promotes growth especially in children.

The hormone prolactin is produced in the anterior pituitary gland during pregnancy in order to develop breast tissues and prepare for milk production.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) helps the body to respond to stress conditions. It stimulates the production  of cortisol from the adrenal gland.

TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and controls the production of the thyroid hormones.

Luteinizing hormone is one of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland.

Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and is secreted into the bloodstream directly. It is important in female reproduction and is produced in large amount during labor. It is also released when the nipples are stimulated.

Antidiuretic hormone controls of the amount of water lost via urine. It is produced in the hypothalamus.

Follicle-stimulating hormone is another hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays an important role in sexual development especially in women where it controls the menstrual cycle and assists in the growth of eggs.

The thyroid gland produces many thyroid hormones including T1,T2,T3 and T4.

The thyroid gland also produces calcitonin, a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland and regulates the amount of calcium in the blood.
