The answer is dormancy

Right away we can tell that dispersal is not the answer. It simply refers to how plant seeds are spread around.

That leaves us with fertilization, germination, and dormancy.
Fertilization refers to the union of the male and female reproductive cells which form a fertilized egg. However, the embryo is not alive at this point yet, so we can move on to the next answer choices.

Germination, this is the actual growth of a seedling from the seed. We are looking for a period in which is not growing so by its very definition, germination cannot be the answer.

Lastly, we have dormancy.

Dormancy is a period in which the embryo is dormant. Think about a dormant volcano. There is magma within the volcano, and it is considered "alive" but it does not erupt. Similarly, a dormant embryo of a seed is one that is alive but simply isn't growing. This typically happens during winter. Almost as if it undergoes hibernation.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

What is one byproduct of slash-and-burn clearing of the rain forest that is harming the atmosphere?

morpeh [17]

It has been estimated that ‘slash and burn’ agriculture is used by up to 500 million people worldwide. The term describes the practice of cutting and/or burning of natural vegetation for conversion into agricultural fields. Besides the disastrous implications for forest ecosystems, the practice can impact the atmosphere in two main ways if burning is implemented. Firstly by causing air pollution from the smoke, and secondly by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. Living trees also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, and the process of ‘slash and burn’ effectively removes their carbon capturing contributions to ameliorating climate change.

If the yellow mottle virus begins its infection of a cell by using its genome as mRNA, which of the following would you expect t

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C) translation rate

Explanation:

The process of gene expression involves DNA transcription into mRNA and translation of mRNA into protein.

During transcription, genetic message in DNA is encoded into mRNA. The encoded messages are then translated into their respective amino acids during the process of translation.

Hence, if a virus uses its genome as mRNA, the next stage will be to translate the messages in the mRNA into amino acids. Translation rate is expected to be measurable.

The correct option is C.

Answer: A) Non shared environmental influences

Explanation: Non shared environment influences are any aspects of the environment and any influences that can be different for different children within the same family. In this case , Jack was encouraged to run because he is a boy thereby enabling him to be able to run up the hill much faster than Jill despite the fact that they are both children in the same family.

Which is incorrect descriptions of the genetic event initiated by the HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) upon the HIV infection?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

e. None of these

Explanation:

The immune deficiency viruses (HIV) are retroviruses that use a reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme to produce a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from an RNA template. The reverse transcription allows retroviruses to replicate their genetic material, which is integrated into the host's genome as a double-stranded linear DNA molecule in a similar way to the mechanism of insertion used by endogenous retrotransposons. The synthesis of DNA is started by cellular tRNAs (tRNA3Lys) that are packaged into the virion. After reverse transcription, the HIV DNA enters the nucleus of CD4 immune cells (also known as CD4+ T cells), and then it integrates into the genome to coopt the host's cell machinery for its own replication.

Besides oxygen, what other bloodborne material must be provided to the affected tissues in adequate quantities to promote normal

victus00 [196]

Healing wounds, especially full-thickness wounds, require an adequate supply of nutrients. Wounds require calories, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, and adequate fluid intake. Calories provide energy for all cellular activity, and when in short supply in the diet, the body will utilize stored fat and protein.Sufficient dietary calories maintain padding and ensure that dietary protein and fats are available for use in wound healing. In addition, adequate levels of protein are necessary for repair and replacement of tissue. Increased protein intake is particularly important for wounds where there is significant tissue loss requiring the production of large amounts of connective tissue.
