Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of

plants’ stems. Which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment?
One student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. The other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers.
One student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. The other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet.
One student measures liquids for the experiment by holding the flask up at eye level. The other student measures liquids for the experiment while the flask sits on the table.
One student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. The other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.

The correct answer is option (C) One student measures liquids for the experiment by holding the flask up at eye level. The other student measures liquids for the experiment while the flask sits on the table. Measuring liquids by holding the flask at eye level is the greatest amount of error in the experiment.

When liquid is being measured in a flask, the liquid shows a curve downwards which is called the meniscus. For measuring the transparent liquids, the lower meniscus touching the graduation of the should be considered and for measuring the colored liquids, the upper meniscus touching the graduation of the flask should be considered. When, the measurement is done by holding the flask at eye level there is always an error as it should be kept on a flat surface and measured by eyes directly leveling with the liquid. This gives a correct measurement which was done by the other student. Thus, one student measuring the liquid by holding the flask at eye level will have a wrong measurement and the other student measuring the liquid while the flask sits on the table gives the correct measurement and the results of the experiment will vary.

if a prey evolves to increase its defenses, its predator often evolves to counteract this change. a. True b. False​
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:  

Coevolution is a biological process where pairs of species or among groups of species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through natural selection. This process produces genetic changes in the traits of interacting species that are a consequence of reciprocal adaptation between these interacting taxa. Coevolution occurs when species are ecologically intimate (i.e., they interact with one another), such as the interaction between hosts and parasites or predators and prey.

Is DNA synthesized continually during the cell cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]
  <span>No 
DNA is synthesized in the middle part of Interphase, which is usually denoted S in the series G1 - S - G2  </span><span>"There are 3 stages of interphase: G1 in which the cell grows and functions normally. Once it grows too large it enters the synthesis (S) phase. In S phase the cell makes exact copies of its DNA. It is now ready for G2 phase where it makes sure all of its chromosomes and organelles are ready for mitosis."</span>

What statement best explains why meiosis produces haploid cell rather than diploid cells
Shkiper50 [21]

The right answer is Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.

Meiosis makes it possible to pass from a cell to 2n chromosomes to 4 cells with n chromosomes, thus ensuring the passage from the diploid phase to the haploid phase.

So from the  fertilization phase to the meiosis phase, the cells will be diploid (2n chromosomes). From the meiosis phase to the fertilization phase, it is the haploid phase (n chromosome).
