A marine biologist is examining the effects of oil pollution on a population of birds known as seagulls (Larus canus). She is pa

rticularly concerned that oil pollution may reduce the number of eggs raised in a seagull nest. During one breeding season, she counted the number of eggs present in a sampling of six seagull nests near each of the 14 refineries throughout the state. She discovered that seagulls laid and raised an average of four eggs per season. To confirm her hypothesis, the researcher must now examine seagull nests that have not been exposed to oil pollution. The researcher believes she is correct, and so expects to find A) 0-2 eggs per nest. B) 2-4 eggs per nest. C) 1 egg per nest. D) 4-6 eggs per nest.

The researcher would expect to find 4-6 eggs per nest. For the oil pollution to have a significant impact, it must substantially lower egg production.

The atomic number of an atom is the number of ______ in the atom's nucleus.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: Protons

Explanation: Every atom is defined by its protons every element. So if it has 1 proton its hydrogen no matter what. If it has 2 protons its helium no matter what and so on. So if you know the number of protons you know the element.

The atomic number tells you the number of protons that are in the core of a particular element.

Three ways species vary
monitta
As he traveled, Darwin noticed three distinctive patterns of biological diversity: (1) Species vary globally, (2) species vary locally, and (3) species vary over time. Darwin noticed that different, yet ecologically similar, animal species inhabited separated, but ecologically similar, habitats around the globe.

Quiet metabolic activities account for about ________ of the average person’s daily energy expenditures
Valentin [98]

Quiet metabolism account for about 50% of the average person’s daily energy expenditures

A metabolism is a balancing act that involves two types of simultaneous activities: building up body tissues and energy stores (called anabolism) and breaking down body tissues and energy stores to get additional fuel for body functions (called catabolism)

Some of them are catabolic routes, such as glycolysis (the breaking of glucose), -oxidation (the breakdown of fatty acids), and amino acid catabolism. Others are anabolic pathways, such as those involved in energy storage (such as glycogenosis) and triglyceride synthesis (lipogenesis)

Metabolic pathways include the processes of producing and decomposing glucose molecules. A metabolic pathway is a chain of chemical reactions that feed off of one another.

1) How is DNA condensed to form a chromosome?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

1) DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form chromatin

2) The genes are the functional units, the segments between them are used for regulation

3) The genetic code is the language used, gene expression is how the cell uses the information, the activity of the genes.

Explanation:

1) DNA forms a DNA/protein complex called chromatin. It does this by wrapping around histone proteins. These histone proteins are usually present in the form of a nucleosome, which is a unit containing 2 copies of 4 histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). The chromatin fibre at its most compact forms tightly coiled structures called chromosomes. These structures are only present during cell division. When the cell is in interphase (i.e. not dividing), the chromatin is not as tightly condensed, and instead the chromatin is more relaxed to allow the genes within to be expressed.

2) Genes are the functional units that the cell uses to make RNA and protein. The genes are first transcribed into RNA, which is processed and then translated into a polypeptide chain, which forms a complete protein that performs activities in the cell/tissue/organism. However, the whole genome does not form genes, there are regions that do not correspond to a gene. These regions are called "non-coding DNA" or sometimes even "junk DNA". However, that does not mean that these regions do not have important roles. The role of this DNA is usually in regulating the activity of the nearby genes. This DNA might contain important regulatory sequences such as promoters/enhancers/silencers that control how the gene is used by the cell, by for example, recruiting transcription factors or silencing proteins.

3) The genetic code is the language used by the cell. It explains how the cell can transcribe the information in the DNA, to RNA, process the RNA, and then translate the RNA into a polypeptide, and eventually a mature protein. In contrast, gene expression represents how the cell actually uses this information. Not all the genes are transcribed at the same time, instead, the activity of genes is carefully controlled to produce appropriate gene expression patterns, allowing the cell to properly perform its functions. Gene expression is hugely different between cells in an organism, for example the gene expression patterns of a muscle cell will  be hugely different to that of a blood cell.
