Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Lipids create a unique type of polymer, known for being a key component of cell membranes and hormones. Where most polymers are long chains of identical, repeating carbon-containing molecules known as monomers, lipid polymers contain an additional, nonidentical molecule attached to each monomer chain.

7. In a cross with a homo zygous, grey, female moth and a homo zygous, black, male moth, all of the progeny are grey. In a cross with a homo zygous, black, female moth and a homo zygous, grey, male moth, all of the progeny are black. What is the best explanation for this? (2 words)

Answers

Answer:

Due to dominant trait.

Explanation:

The best explanation for this result is that grey colour is dominant trait due to which all of the progeny appears grey while in the second example, black colour is dominant trait which appears in the all the offspring of moth. In the offspring, only that trait becomes visible which is dominant while the trait which does not appear is known as recessive trait so that's the reason due to which grey in the first and black colour in the second becomes visible.

John is completing an internship in biology at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. While interning there, he monitors an outdoor phytoplankton exhibit to observe how populations of phytoplankton change when exposed to light. It is observed that each year the phytoplankton population within the exhibit increases when it was exposed to high amounts of sunlight. A new apartment complex that overlooks the aquarium is being built. The phytoplankton that were receiving 8-12 hours of sunlight each day will now have between 2-5 hours of sunlight. How will the phytoplankton be affected by the new apartment building?

What do you mean by Fluids?

Fluids may be defined as any liquid or gas or generally any material that experiences a continuous change in shape when subjected to any object.

The properties of fluids indicate that all fluids can flow depending upon their densities. Some take the shape of their container due to fluidity. Fluids comprise liquid and gases.

Therefore, the statement which is not true about fluids is particles move easily past each other.

Answers

Answer: The question is not complete, options are not given but here are the options from another websites.

a. sexual reproduction.

b. binary fission.

c. parthenogenesis.

d. budding.

The correct option is C.

Parthenogenesis.

Explanation:

lizards undergo a process in which their unfertilized eggs can develop into new individuals and the process is called parthenogenesis because parthenogenesis is a reproductive strategy that involves the reproduction of new organisms without undergoing fertilization or the production of new organisms from unfertilized eggs and these can be as a result of the lizard not able to undergo sexual reproduction which can be as a result of environmental factors. This process does not involve sexual reproduction.

A student observes the model and claims that the total mass of the reaction is conserved. Is the student's claim correct? Why or why not? A No, because the arrangement of atoms is different in the reactants and products. B Yes, because the reactants and products are made of atoms of the same elements. C Yes, because the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. D No, because the total number of atoms in products is greater than the total number of atoms in reactants.

Answers

C.  Yes, because the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

Due to the law of conservation of mass, any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

What is Chargaff's Rule?

Answers

Answer:

Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any species of any organism should have a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to thymine. This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA.

In a strand of DNA, if the percentage of thymine is 30%, what would the percentage of cytosine in the same DNA strand be?

Answers

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

I haven't learned this exactly yet, but if there is 30% of thymine, then there has to be 30% of adenine because they match. That would leave 40% for other Guanine and Cytosine, and since they also match that means that it is exactly half, meaning that there is 20% Guanine and 20% Cytosine.
