Coal fired power plants are used to create the electricity that we depend on. However, they also release a lot of pollution into

the atmosphere through their giant smokestacks.
Clint claims that although this might be bad for the air very near the power plant, the air in the next town over is completely fine.

What is wrong with Clint's belief?

Clint's claim is wrong from multiple aspects, with the two most important being:

- Movement of air masses;

In order for the pollution to stay only just above the place where the power plant is, there should be no atmosphere and no air movement, and the Earth is not a planet of that type. The movement of the air masses will disperse the polluters on a much wider area, including the nearby town.

- Global impact;

Though some of the pollution will be dispersed in the lower part of the atmosphere, big portion of it will go up into the higher parts of the atmosphere. By doing that, those polluters, mostly the CO2, will be increasing the Greenhouse effect, which basically means the rise of the global temperatures because of bigger retaining of the heat in the Earth's atmosphere. That will affect the whole planet, including the place where the power plant is, and the nearby town.

Yuki888 [10]
It might be stated that his reliability might be compromised because he writes the story many years later and his memories may be skewed. he is the narrator and the protagonist of the story and it is written in first person so  he retells what he remembers from his life experience since he was a child.

Which of the following is a reason why sticky end producing restriction enzymes are preferred compared to blunt end ones?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

D) Because sticky ends can be temporarily held together by hydrogen bonding between the two strands.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites and by the mechanism of action they can form two types of ends:

  • sticky ends-single-stranded overhangs are formed
  • blunt ends-without overhangs.

The main advantage of sticky ends (their overhangs) is that they can complementary bind to another overhand formed by the same restriction enzyme. So, for example in cloning, if the DNA of interest and plasmid vector are cut with the same restriction enzyme, that  forms sticky ends, fragment of DNA will fit into a bacterial plasmid in one direction.

On the other hand, blunt ends can be inserted into vector in both directions: head-to-tail or tail-to-head.

notsponge [240]

Explanation: this experiment is long term which means patience is compulsory. you need to have a wild sloth and a domesticated sloth adopted right at their birth (he should be in a controlled environment that mimics the wild). your domesticated sloth shouldn't have the algae. at their middle age, you should compare them with them from every aspect.

Consider a study of two genes, "A" and "B". Each gene has two alleles, represented by upper- and lower-case letters. Assume that
Nata [24]

Answer:

AaBb × aabb

Explanation:

A test cross is a cross between an unknown genotype (dominant phenotype) with a homozygous recessive genotype in order to discover the actual genotype of the species exhibiting dominant phenotype.

This is because one allele of a gene is capable of masking the expression of another, the allele masking is called DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these two alleles is termed heterozygosity.

An organism that is phenotypically dominant for a specific trait may either be heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. For example, a plant gene for tallness with an dominant allele T, and recessive allele t. This plant will need tall if the genotype is TT (homozygous dominant) or Tt (heterozygous dominant). In order to know which of these genotypes the plant actually has, a test cross is conducted.

In this example, two genes A and B are involved. For the first gene, A represents dominant allele while a represents recessive allele. For the second gene, B represents dominant allele while b represents recessive allele.

In a cross involving parents AABB (homozygous dominant for both genes) and aabb (homozygous recessive for both genes), the F1 progeny will all exhibit phenotypic dominance (AaBb).

However, we cannot know the genotype by merely looking at the phenotype. We cannot ascertain yet whether the dominance is heterozygous or homozygous, hence the need for a test cross.

The test cross is between the dominant F1 progeny and a homozygous recessive i.e. AaBb × aabb. Some of the F2 generation will show recessive traits if the unknown genotype is heterozygous.
