Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonate plastics are used in certain food and drink p

ackaging such as baby bottles, water bottles, and other drink containers. People are exposed to BPA when they drink from these containers because the BPA migrates from the container into the beverage. Studies have shown that the ingested BPA may affect the brain, behavior, and reproductive development in fetuses, infants, and children.
What is the scientific claim being made in this paragraph about BPA?

BPA is a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics.

Polycarbonate plastics are used to make baby bottles and water bottles.

BPA is not harmful to children or adults.

Ingested BPA may affect the brain, behavior, and reproductive development in fetuses, infants, and children.

Answer: The scientific claim made is that ingested Bisphenol may affect the brain,behavior ,reproductive foetuses in infants and children

Explanation:

Bisphenol is an organic compounds that is produced majorly to make polycarbonates plastics used by humans daily as feeding bottles, baby bottles, cooler or warmer. BPA is harmful to humans when ingested in that it's imitate the body's hormone and it affect hormones secretion, production, transport I on, function and elimination of the body's naturally produced hormone and this affect the brain, behaviour, reproduction.

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae  in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
inysia [295]

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called

a) mutagen

b) inversion

c) point mutation

d) translocation

Answer:

c) point mutation

Explanation:

When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.

Genetically identical armadillos were kept in the same controlled environment from birth and provided the same diet. Even though
Vlada [557]

Phenotypic variations in genetically identical organisms that grow in the same controlled environment may be due to mutation.

<h3>Mutation</h3>

This refers to a sudden change to the DNA sequence of living organisms.

When the DNA base sequence of organisms changes, the effect is shown in the morphology of organisms.

For organisms that are genetically identical but grow in different environments, phenotypic variations might exist as a result of environmentally acquired traits during the struggle to adapt to their environments.

In the same environment, however, genetically identical organisms are not expected to be phenotypically different, unless a mutation to the DNA of one has occurred.
