NASA has been scanning neighboring planets for signs of life, but there is always the possibility that life on other planets cou

ld be based on an element other than carbon. Based on your understanding of carbon's properties, what qualities should NASA be looking for in other elements that might replace carbon on an alien planet?

Answer:

Silicon

Explanation:

One of the most similar elements to carbon on periodic table is silicon. Several compounds formed between carbon or silicon and other elements are identical.

Carbon is an element found in life forms as a building block while silicon is a building block of machine components such as semiconductors

Silicon is an element that can sustain bonds, similar to carbon bonds and it is situated directly under carbon on the periodic table

Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere by natural processes and from human activity. Why is the latter a cause of concern?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

By removing long-buried fossil fuels and burning them to produce electricity, human activities have drastically disrupted the natural carbon cycle and released CO2 into the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil, including gasoline, is responsible for 85% of all human-produced carbon dioxide emissions.

reductions in atmospheric oxygen concentration and the proportion of other carbon isotopes (14C and 13C) have been observed. Because the natural mechanisms that may restore the balance are too slow relative to the rates at which human activities are adding CO2 to the atmosphere, the extra CO2 from burning fossil fuels and deforestation has upset the equilibrium of the carbon cycle. As a result, a sizeable portion of the CO2 produced by human activity builds up in the atmosphere, where part of it will stay for thousands of years rather than just a few decades or centuries.

During mitosis, this structure moves individual chromosomes?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Anaphase

Explanation:

Two separate classes of movements occur during anaphase. During the first part of anaphase, the kinetochore microtubules shorten, and the chromosomes move toward the spindle poles. During the second part of anaphase, the spindle poles separate as the non-kinetochore microtubules move past each other.

The average blood volume in the human body is about 4.9 L. Convert this volume to cubic centimeters (cm3).a. milliliters (mL)b.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a. 4900 mL; b. 4900 cm³ c. 4.9x10⁻³  m³

Explanation:

1 L = 1 dm³

4.9 L = 4.9 dm³

1 dm³ = 1000 cm³  → 4900 cm³

1 cm³ = 1 mL  (4900 mL)

1 dm³ = 1x10⁻³ m³ → 4.9x10⁻³  m³

Consider a species in which dark brown fur is dominant relative to light brown fur.
aniked [119]

Answer:

Explanation:

To interpret this pedigree, let’s start with information that we already know:

Brown is recessive, which means brown individuals must have the phenotype BB. In this pedigree, brown individuals are filled in.

Black is dominant, which means black individuals must have at least one B allele. Their phenotype could be either BB or BB. In this pedigree, black individuals are not filled in.

Figure 5 shows the same pedigree, but with information about the individual’s phenotype filled in.

The shaded individual, who is a brown female puppy, must have the phenotype BB. If she had any B alleles, she would be black because the black allele is dominant over the brown allele.

In order for the brown puppy to have the phenotype BB, she must have gotten two “b” alleles: one from each of her parents. We know that her parents are both black (because they are unshaped), which means they must have a least one “B” allele. This means that both parents must be heterogeneous: BB.

The three black puppies must have at least one “B” allele in order for them to be black in color. However, we can’t tell whether they are homologous dominant (BB) or heterogeneous (BB) since both of those phenotype would result in black color. One way to represent this on a pedigree is B-, meaning that the second allele could be either B or b.
