Answer:
There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.
Explanation:
Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.
In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:
Biology
<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>
<em />
Neuroscience (humans)
<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>
<em />
Behavioral Ecology
<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>
Neuroscience (Animals)
<em>Are killer whales capable of problem-solving?</em>
<em />
Ecology
<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>
<em />
Conservation Biology
<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>
<em />
Animal Behavior
<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>
<em />
Parasitology
<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
Answer:
No, a person's genotype cannot be determined solely by their phenotype as many genes in our genome do not get expressed.
Explanation:
GMOs do not put consumers at any more Rick than non modified food would. It also has increased crop yields abs reduces costs for food production.
