<span>The variables in this study would be the folic acid used (the independent variable) and the DNA formed through the implementation (the dependent variable). By changing the amount of folic acid used in the experiment, the DNA will possibly be changed in the microbes.</span>

The correct answer is option (C) The amount of folic acid is the independent variable, and the DNA synthesized is the dependent variable.

DNA or the deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of the nitrogenous bases called the purines and pyrimidines. Folic acid or the vitamin B9 is essential for the synthesis of these nitrogen bases of the DNA. A scientific experiment conducted always has two parameters, a dependent and a independent variable. A dependent variable in an experiment is a variable which is being tested and measured. In the experiment Jon is conducting, the amount of DNA becomes an dependent variable which is being tested and measured in presence of folic acid.  An independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is changed or controlled in the scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. Here, folic acid becomes an independent variable as the amount of it is varied and tested to check the formation on DNA in bacteria.  Thus, an independent variable always changes to check its effect on the dependent variable.

Which action would most likely increase the amount of carbon in the environment? A. Choosing to burn coal to generate electricit
scoray [572]

Answer:

A choosing to burn coal to generate electricity

Explanation:

Neither nuclear energy nor alternative sources such as wind and solar seem likely to meet the demand for electricity. ... Of all fossil fuels, coal puts out the most carbon dioxide per unit of energy, so burning it poses a further threat to global climate, already warming alarmingly.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

A) They have low-maintenance and are easy to keep track of for mutations.

B) The deduction can be "Single Gene Mutation"

Explanation:

After examining the example given in the question on Neurospora crassa and the details about how they reproduce, the following points can be made regarding the questions;

A) It is stated that they form a colony in time and that they are asexual spores and the first reason to choose them would be because they contain somatic cells (which refer to the cells other than reproductive cells) and non-motile gonidia which can multiply by dividing themselves and these properties make the colony's maintenance easy. And since they multiply by division, it is easier to keep track of the occuring mutations.

B) Given the information in the question that the mating is between an albino strain and a wild type, and then between two albino strains which have the same genotype. The results indicate that the strains have gone through single gene mutation during the process.

I hope this answer helps.

Amoeba sisters video recap Biomagnification
icang [17]
I suggest you watch the Amoeba Sisters video again, 1-2x and take notes.

Biomagnification is when toxins / heavy metal are present in small amounts in fish, but accumulate as you move into higher trophic levels. This is one reason why it can be toxic for humans to eat tertiary or quaternary consumers, such as swordfish, shark, etc.
