Answer: Sebum

Explanation: Sebaceous gland secretes sebum which is a chemical mediator that helps in lubrication and protection.

The sebaceous gland is present in skin and produces oil which is an endogenous mediator which provides a seal for the harmful microorganism so that they cannot the body through skin.

In this way it also protects the sweat gland which produces sweat.some of the bacteria that causes acne uses lipase to degrade sebum and causes infection.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

What is the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 0.4 kHz traveling at 16 m/s?
larisa86 [58]

Answer: 0.04metres

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is the distance covered by the wave after one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ

Recall that Velocity (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ

V = F λ

Make λ the subject formula

λ = V / F

In this case Frequency = 0.4 kHz

Convert kilohertz to hertz by multiplying 0.4 by 1000 i.e (0.4 x 1000Hz) = 400Hz

Velocity of wave = 16 m/s

So, λ = V / F

λ = 16 m/s / 400Hz

λ = 0.04metres

Thus, the wavelength of a wave is 0.04metres

Suppose a plant breeder wants to isolate mutants in tomatoes that are defective in DNA repair. However, this breeder does not ha
Nana76 [90]

The provided question has marked options incorrectely the correct order as follows:

A) Expose putative DNA repair mutant plants to ionizing radiation L and see if they survive less well than wild-type plants.

B) Measure the amount of post-translational processing that occurs in the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

C) Measure the somatic mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

D) Expose the putative DNA repair mutant plants to a deaminating agent and select those that have a decreased mutation rate.

E) Measure the germline spontaneous and induced mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Answer:

The correct answer is: A), C) and E)

Explanation:

The breeder wants to isolate the mutants in tomatoes that are defective in DNA repair, to identify such plants breeder should follow these methods as they will allow best to identifying the defective tomatoes-

Measure the somatic mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Measure the germline spontaneous and induced mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Expose putative DNA repair mutant plants to ionizing radiation L and see if they survive less well than wild-type plants.  This will allow the breeder to see and analyze the ability of DNA repair in tomatoes

Answer:

The modern evolutionary synthesis defines evolution as the change over time in this genetic variation. The frequency of one particular allele will become more or less prevalent relative to other forms of that gene.

Explanation:

A substantial part of the phenotypic variation in a population is caused by genotypic variation.
