Standard of living refers to the quality, and quantity, of goods and services made available to an individual for his/her consumption. This definition is a general one and is easily understood.

To improve one's standard of living, in accordance with this definition, one needs to be provided with a better quality goods & services , such as advanced electronics and gadgets, or quantity, such as producing more self-care product for consumption.

So how does this conflict with his/her environmental concerns? In order to improve standard of living, there is a few trade offs. To produce more quantity of goods & services, more resources have to be used. This might lead to excessive usage, wastage & depletion of natural resources. For example, to provide more fuel to the society, companies have to extract more & more of fossil fuel. Sustainable usage of natural resources might be a concern, since some types of resources are unrenewable e. g oil & gas.

Production of higher quality products requires advanced state of technology. In the meantime, the use of some technologies aren't exactly environmental friendly i. e it may create pollution. For example, decades ago, manufacturing shirts using traditional methods might not yield consistent results thus the invention of machine helps with increasing the quality, however, results in noise and air pollution. Another example, using air-conditioning instead of hand fan is more effective in coping with hot weather, but greenhouse gas is emitted.

This shows the conflict between environmental concern and the desire to improve standard of living in general.

Hope this helps!

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The answer is letter C. |
<span>
Slight differences in the color of feathers in birds are the result of mutations. Mutation is process that occurs through a long period of time. It is a process in which the genes’ structures changes thus altering the physical characteristics and behaviors of species. This results into variant forms that may be transmitted to the next generations of species. Mutation is caused by an alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of the genes or chromosomes. </span>

The hypothesis for Tonya's experiment is "If distance of a race increases, the amount of time needed to run the race will increa
WINSTONCH [101]

The dependent variable is what changes because of the independent variable, while the independent variable is what is purposefully changed by the experimenter, since it is the variable that is being tested.

So, in this problem, you are purposefully changing the distance of the race to see whether or not the amount of time taken to complete the race will change because of the varying distances.

This means that purposefully changing the distance of the race is the independent variable that is being tested and that the amount of time that the runner takes to complete the race is the dependent variable because it changes due to the independent variable.

Sorry for being so wordy.

In short,

Independent variable- the one that's being tested and that is purposefully changed.

Dependent variable- the one that changes because of the independent variable.

Hope this helps.

DNA regions that are transcriptionally silenced by hypercondensation have often undergone a modification of their _______ residu
inessss [21]

Answer:

b. methylation.

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments.

Genome editing can be defined as a high-tech process which avail scientists the opportunity or ability to remove (delete), replace and insert Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence in a living organism such as bacterias, animals, plants etc in order to correct a genetic disorder and to improve on their physical and chemical conditions.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.

Hence, DNA regions that are transcriptionally silenced by hypercondensation have often undergone a modification of their cytosine residues termed methylation.

For example, CpG island methylation transcriptionally silences about 650 to 800 genes in patients suffering from colorectal cancer.
