<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 of the following is not a cellular activity associated with microtubules?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A. maintenance of axons is not a cellular activity associated with microtubules.

Explanation:

Microtubules are hollow, bead-like, tiny tubular structure that helps cells maintain its shapes. Together with microfilaments and intermediate filaments, they form part of the cell's cytoskeleton. Microtubules also contributes to the cell movement or cytokinesis that includes muscle contractions in muscle cells. Microtubules also replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a cell during cell division. Microtubules also contribute to the parts of the cell that help it move and are structural elements of cilia, centrioles and flagella. A bundle of microtubules makes up an axonemal structure of cilia and flagella.

Help please? what traits do all organisms with no internal thermoregulation have?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The answer to the question is C ectothermy

Explanation:

The answer to the question is C ectothermy

The traits which all organisms with no internal thermoregulation have are called an Ectothermy. Ectothermy is an organism in which the inner behavioral heat sources are significant in the regulation of body temperature. This organism depends on their ecological heats source, which allows them to work at an efficient rate. Some of this organism stays in an area where temperatures are nearly constant.

Please identify <br> Label A<br> Label B<br> Label C<br> Label D
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Label A: Nucleus

Nucleus can be described as the organelle in which the DNA is enclosed. The nucleus is found in every eukaryotic cell.

Label B: Vacuole

Vacuole can be described as an organelle which is used to store material such as waste. Hence, vacuole is known to be the storage house of a cell.

Label C: Ribosomes

Ribosomes can be described as structures which are present usually on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The process of translation occurs in the ribosomes and they are hence known to be the protein manufacturing units if a cell.

Label D: Centrioles

A centriole is a cylindrical organelle which is usually made up of the protein tubulin.
