A scientist must always try to avoid bias in scientific
experiments. It is important for scientist to avoid leaning into their bias
when trying to confirm their hypothesis. As much as possible the scientist
should be able to follow the scientific method to avoid bias.
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
The scientist created an experimental strain that produces a modified RNA polymerase with a single amino acid substitution. This mutation is supposed to change the elongation rate of the mRNA during transcription.
The dependent or response variable, is the one the researchers are interested in, meaning, are the characteristics that the researcher will pay attention to and measure during the experiment.
In this example, the researcher is interested in testing the max elongation rate during transcription, which is the dependent variable of this experiment.
In the second part of the experiment, both strains of yeast, wilds, and experimental, where exposed to 40ug/mL solution of amanitin and recorded the maximum elongation rate of the RNA. This is naturally to test the effects of amanitin over the elongation rate of the mRNA in both strains.
The control group is a set of experimental units that are exposed to the same conditions as the experimental groups, with the exception that they receive no treatment (or they receive a "no effective" treatment often called a placebo). The purpose of a control group is to know the natural response of the experimental units to a treatment-free environment, this way when comparing both groups, the researcher will be able to observe the differences or changes due to the applied treatments.
In the second experiment, there are missing two control groups, one made of the wild strain and the other made of the experimental strain, exposed to the same conditions as the treated strains.
I hope this helps!
Steroids
are complex structure four connected rings of carbon atoms. They are cholesterol which is in all body cells and used to synthesize other steroids:sex hormones, such as estrogen, and testosterone and several hormones from the adrenal glands.
Waxes
are comprised of an ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. Many plants have leaves and fruits with wax coatings to help prevent water loss.
Phospholipids
consist of Glycerol portion and fatty acid chains. Only two fatty acids chains; in place of the third is portion that include a phosphate group. THe phosphate portion is soluble in water [hydrophobic] forms the ''head'' of the molecule, while the fatty acids portion is insoluble in water [hydrophobic] and forms a ''tail''.
Fats
to store energy for cellular activities. Carbohydrates fat molecules are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
