Radiation can damage DNA. This could result in a change in the proteins which make up the plant's physical structure.
<span>For example, a plant might have a gene for purple pigment which makes its flowers purple. Radiation might change the DNA sequence so that the directions for making the purple pigment tell it to stop prematurely, and the result might be white flowers rather than purple flowers.</span>
It is a scientific law
Explanation:
A scientific law states a constant relationship between two or more variables, each of which represents a property or measurement of specific systems. It is a constant and unchanging rule, usually expressed mathematically which allows to predict the unknown based on what is known with logical and real relationships.
A scientific theory is a set of concepts and rules (scientific laws) that express the relationships between observations of such concepts and generates a principle or set of principles to explain a phenomenon.
Answer: I want to believe the question is asking for the psychologist that linked intelligence and school success. The name of the psychologist is Alfred Binet.
Explanation: Alfred Binet was a French psychologist alongside Theodore Simon developed a test (Binet-Simon intelligence scale) to measure the intellectual skills of French schoolchildren in 1904. Binet equated intelligence with common sense and he defined it as the faculty of adapting to a particular situation. The Binet-Simon test focused on memory and attention and it was developed in other to help identify French schoolchildren with learning disabilities.
The test was later revised by psychologist Lewis Terman and became known as the Stanford-Binet
The correct answer is option (B) It supports the anti-drilling argument.
Deepwater drilling refers to the process of drilling holes in the deep sea, below the seabeds for the purpose of mining petroleum compounds. Deepwater horizon blowout was an explosion causing a huge oil offshore oilspill in the Gulf of Mexico, making it the largest accidental marine oil spill disaster in the world. It has a numerous negative effects on the marine life.
The toxic oil and its compounds released into the water during the deepwater horizon blowout has contaminated the water and affected the marine life including the phytoplanktons, zooplanktons, invertebrates, fishes and other mammals of the sea. Highly toxic chemical components such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic compounds have even caused DNA damage and mutations in the marine life. Apart from their mortality, it has also been responsible for reduced growth, diseases, impaired reproduction in the sea fauna. Thus, ingestion of such contaminated seafood grown in contaminated water can be held responsible for the rise in cancer rates. Thereby supporting the anti-drilling arguement.
