Answer:
A. vital capacity
Explanation:
<u>Vital capacity is defined as maximum amount of the air that a human can expel from lungs after the process of maximum inhalation. In other words, its is the volume of the lung which represents the maximum of the total volume which can be exchanged with the air.
</u>
It can be measured by using a wet or a regular spirometer. A normal adult has between 3 to 5 litres of VC. Vital capacity of the human depends on the age, sex, mass, height and ethnicity.
Answer:
Kepler's third law relates the semi-major axis of the orbit to its sidereal period. The major axis is the total length of the long axis of the elliptical orbit (from perihelion to aphelion).

A and C
Answer:
DNA ligase
Explanation:
DNA replication is an enzyme mediated, 3-step process during which the DNA molecule produces a copy of itself. The 3 steps involved are as follows;
- initiation
- elongation
- termination
<em>Initiation </em>involves the unwinding of the double helix structure of the DNA using DNA helicase enzyme
<em>Elongation</em> involves binding of RNA primer to the DNA strands and addition of bases to the primer<em> </em>to elongate the new chains. Bases are added to the leading strand continuously while the lagging strand is replicated in short segments (okazaki segments).
<em>Termination</em> involves the unbinding of RNA primer and substitution of its bases by DNA bases. The Okazaki fragments are then joined together using the DNA ligase enzyme.
<em>The short, numerous segments of DNA observed in the mixture is the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand. This is due to the absence of the enzyme involved in the joining of these fragments.</em>
Hence, the answer is DNA ligase.
Answer:
the pH
Explanation:
The condition that should not be kept the same in each of the five test tubes is the pH.
Since <u>the aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect of pH on the activity of the lipase enzyme</u>, the pH is, therefore, the <em>independent variable</em>. Thus, it must be controlled or varied in all the test tubes in order to see its effect on the activity of the enzyme, which, in this case, would be the dependent variable.
