Answer: Hypothesis

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a guess or pressumed explanation for something. It includes limited evidences. It is required to be proved using experimental procedures.

The results of the experimental procedure will tell whether the hypothesis is true or false.

Alyssa investigates properties of matter. The answer to which question would best
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:

A) What is the radius of each particle of the substance?

B) Does the substance contain more than one type of atom?

C) Was a chemical reaction necessary to create the substance?

D) What is the electrical charge of the particles of the substance?

The answer is B

Explanation:

In chemistry, an element is a substance made up of a single type of atom i.e. only one atom of the same type constitutes an element while a compound is a substance that contains two or more different elements. If a compound contains different elements, it means that a compound will certainly contain more than one type of atom.

According to this question, the best question to ask when Alyssa wants to differentiate between an element and a compound is: DOES THE SUBSTANCE CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF ATOM?

- If the answer is yes, the substance is a COMPOUND

- If the answer is no, the substance is an ELEMENT.

The existence of introns in mRNA-encoding genes seems to be a problem because so much cellular energy goes into splicing them ou
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:

1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.

2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.

Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.

Explanation:

Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.  

Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.

One end of the rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength of 0.25 m. The
evablogger [386]

Answer:

3) 0.75m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula;

λ = v/f

Where!

λ = wavelength of wave (m)

v = velocity or speed (m/s)

f = frequency of wave (Hz)

According to this question, one end of a rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength (λ) of 0.25 m and frequency (f) of 3.0 Hz.

Using λ = v/f

v = λ × f

v = 0.25 × 3

v = 0.75m/s.
