Answer:

As we get older the number of taste buds decreases.

Explanation:

Gustatory cells or the taste buds contains the different sensory cells on the tongue. The papillae consists of all the taste receptors. The sweet, bitter, salty, umami and sour tastes are recognized by the receptors.

The different individuals have different taste because of the presence of the different taste buds. The number of the taste buds decreases the individual gets older. The children has more taste buds and can easily understand the taste of different things. Hence, Joshua dislikes the broccoli taste.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Kryger [21]

Answer: Option B.

Damage to the sun

Explanation:

Damage to the sun is not a negative way we use science because the sun is very far away from the Earth. The sun is so far away that light from the Sun, traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach us. This means that The distance from the sun to the Earth is far and it's difficult for science to have negative effects on the sun. The sun is not easily accessible and sun damage is not easily affected compared to pollution, climate Change, overuse of resources which it's as a result of science negative effect.

Which suspect’s DNA matches that found at the crime scene? Does this automatically mean that the suspect is guilty? 2. What poss
igomit [66]

Answer:

RFLP analysis of genomic DNA is facilitated by Southern blot analysis.   After electro-phoresis, DNA fragments in the gel are denatured by soaking in an alkali solution.  This causes double-stranded fragments to be converted into single-stranded form (no longer base-paired in a double helix).  A replica of the electrophoretic pattern of DNA fragments in the gel is made by transferring (blotting) them to a sheet of nitrocellulose or nylon membrane. This is done by placing the membrane on the gel after electro-phoresis and transferring DNA fragments to the membrane by capillary action or electro-transfer.  DNA, which is not visible, becomes permanently adsorbed to the membrane, that can then be manipulated easier than gels.
