What is the purpose of scientific probes? They help astronomers see distant galaxies with the naked eye. They enable ordinary ci

tizens to make scientific observations. They allow scientists to measure features such as flow rate and conductivity. They teach meteorologists how to record air and wind pressure.

Answer:

Option D, They teach meteorologists how to record air and wind pressure.

Explanation:

A probe is a device which is used to explore space and collect information.  It is an unpiloted device that consists of scientific equipment’s and instruments to study about the atmosphere , composition and other physical components of planets and others celestial bodies.  

A probe transmits information from space through radio. A probe must be able to collect information even from extreme environmental conditions.  

Hence, option D is correct.

In a population fulfilling all the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium, allelic frequencies:
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A. will not change from generation to generation.  

Explanation:

For a population in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation and remain constant. This occurs when:

-The population is large enough.

-Individuals of the population exhibit random mating .

-No evolutionary force (natural selection, mutation, gene flow, etc.) is operative on the population.

Under these conditions, the allele frequencies of the population are not changed and the population is said to be in "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium".

In colorectal cancer, some tumor suppressor genes are inactive. This is an important factor resulting in uncontrolled cell divis
tresset_1 [31]

Answer/Explanation:

(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein

To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.

To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.

(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.

To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.

To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR

What determines the type of igneous rock that forms from magma? a. The heat and pressure the magma is exposed to b. Whether the
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

c. Magma composition and cooling rate.

Explanation:

A rock cycle can be defined as a concept used to describe the continuous process that leads to a rock's creation, formation, transformation from one form to another, destruction and reformation over a specific period of time. The natural phenomenons that influences the rock cycle are weathering, plate tectonic activity, erosion, etc.

Basically, the three (3) main types of rocks are; metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock and igneous rock.

All igneous rocks are produced from magma (lava) and formed at the Earth’s surface, thereby, causing them to have a coarse texture and dark colors.

Generally, the cooling and solidification of magma (lava) leads to the formation of an igneous rock, either when the melted rock is still inside the continental crust of the Earth or at volcanoes on the Earth's surface.

Hence, magma composition and cooling rate determines the type of igneous rock that forms from magma. Some examples of an igneous rock are granite, obsidian, tuff, basalt, rhyolite, andesite, pegmatite, dacite, scoria, pumice, etc.
