Answer:
Explanation:
A scientific researcher performs scientific methods to answer any natural process. The researcher will follow the protocol of a scientific method which includes: observe the natural phenomenon, ask related questions, suggest a hypothesis, perform the experiment and suggest answers.
In the given question if the researcher has to study about the flu virus, the possible questions he would ask will be:
1. The life cycle of the flu virus.
2. Effect of the virus on the life of an organism.
3. The mechanism used by the virus to replicate and to infect any organism.
4. Molecular mechanism of a virus.
The statement in the given question that presents a condition of the Hardy-Weinberg principle is that random mating occurs. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "C".
There are definitely certain
conditions under which the Hardy- Weinberg principle occurs and they are when
there is no gene flow, no mutations happen, no generic drift occurs and random
mating occurs. This principle also states a very important aspect and it is
that genotype and allele frequencies will always remain constant from one
generation to another if there is absence of other evolutionary inflrnce.
Answer:
The correct statement concerning the cell membrane lipid molecules is that "energy is not expended during diffusion" (Option d)
Explanation:
Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, and their hydrophobic tails against each other. Membranes are fluid, which means that molecules that form it have the capability to move through it.
Lipids can easily change places with other neighbor lipids by <u>lateral diffusion</u> in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.
Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer, but this kind of movement is not as easy as lateral diffusion.
There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.
Through this lipidic bilayer, there is also a passive transport of some particles from one side of the cell to the other which happens because of concentration differences.
Answer: The Calvin cycle has four main steps: carbon fixation, reduction phase, carbohydrate formation, and regeneration phase. Energy to fuel chemical reactions in this sugar-generating process is provided by ATP and NADPH, chemical compounds which contain the energy plants have captured from sunlight.
Explanation:
Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.
Explanation:
POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.
From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.
It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.
