Answer: Light Refraction

Explanation:

Light rays travel in straight lines. When they strike an opaque surface, the rays bounce, and light is reflected back to your eye so that you see an image. When light strikes a transparent object, some of the light passes through. If that light strikes the object straight on, it continues to travel in a straight line. If the light enters the transparent object at an angle, though, it changes direction, bending.This bending of light is called refraction. Refraction occurs because light entering an object slows down. When it enters at an angle, one side of the light ray enters before the other, slowing down first.Looking from above, an object under water appears larger than it does in air. It's not that the image the light gave our eyes is bigger. It's that the image is actually closer to our eyes, since the light is not passing straight down, but is instead bending relative to the water's surface. Light passing straight down would be perpendicular to the water's surface, like the vertical line on the letter T.

sergey [27]
A.  they have a higher proportion of adenine–thymine than guanine–cytosine base pairs.

The option A represents the complete opposite of "high-gc gram-positive bacteria". High GC content means that this bacteria have more guanine ans more cytosine than the other base pairs- adenine–thymine. This means all the other options are correct.

In fruit flies, the allele for vestigial wings is recessive to the allele for normal wings. In a generation of fruit flies, 18 m
Zina [86]
Mendelian genetics one of the fundamental laws is The Law of Independent Assortment. The law states that parental traits are passed independently from parent to child. The recessive trait, vestigial Wings, occurs in an approximate phenotypic ratio of 1.3. In monohybrid Cross of heterozygous (Rr) parents the expected phenotypic ratio correlates with the given 1:3 result therefore l can conclude that the parents are both heterogeneous (Rr) for vestigial wings. Normal Wings-R, Vestigial Wings (Parent 1) Rr* Rr (Parent 2) R*R- RR- Normal Wings (Child 1) R*r Rr- Normal WIngs (Child 2) r * R - Rr- Normal Wings (Child 3) r*r- rr Vestigial Wings (Child 4) 1 Vestigial Wings: 3 Normal Wings

How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?
mel-nik [20]

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.

When we say an animal has an "open circulatory system," this means that: movement of the animal is solely responsible for moving
adoni [48]
An open circulatory system simply means that the blood flows out of vessels and into the spaces or sinuses. Invertebrates, insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.
