Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When on the basis of certain facts about the object or subject we provide an explanation which is not proved is known as hypothesis.

For example, Jada says that hand sanitizers are as effective as soap in destroying bacteria.

Since, it is not proved by her and this statement shows just an explanation which is not experimentally found.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement hand sanitizers are as effective as soap in destroying bacteria, is a hypothesis.

Answer: B) Black bears, deer, and squirrels would undergo a mass extinction, so the forest’s biodiversity would decrease.

Limiting factor is a factor which limit the growth, distribution and abundance of  population of one or more species in an ecosystem. A limiting factor can be natural or man-made. Natural limiting factor includes resources (food, shelter and water), abundance in predator population, natural disasters like landslide and earthquakes. Man-made limiting factors include deforestation, forest fires and nuclear explosions.

Here, oak trees can be considered as limiting factor. Oak trees are source of food resource in temperate deciduous forest. Cutting down of these trees will affect the populations of animals residing in the forest. As, populations of beer, black deer, and squirrels all rely on the acorns obtain from oak trees, cutting down of trees will result in mass extinction of black bears, deer, and squirrels. Hence, the diversity of animals in forest would decrease.

Llana [10]

Answer:

46 chromosomes

Explanation:

Humans are diploid organisms i.e. they contain two sets of chromosomes (each set from each parent). Each set is 23 chromosomes, hence, two sets will be 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. This means that each somatic/body cell will contain 46 individual chromosomes.

According to this question, DNA was extracted from a cheek cell. If one could magnify the extracted material, there would be 46 individual chromosomes from each of these cheek cells, considering that cheek cell is a somatic cell.

Tju [1.3M]

The question does not have the option which are:

depleted in red light; inactive form

enriched in red light; active form

depleted in red light; active form

enriched in red light; inactive form

depleted in red light; inactive form

Answer:

depleted in red light; inactive form

Explanation:

The understory is the lower portion of the forest canopy which is characterised by the shade-tolerant species of the plants.

The light that reaches the lower portion or in the understory is depleted in the red light wavelength.

The phytochromes are the photoreceptor or blue-green pigment which response to the red and far-red wavelength. The low light converts the phytochrome to its inactive form Pr form which is reversible.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
