Answer:

The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light.

The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light

Explanation:

  • The galvanometer is a device which is used for measuring the electric current.
  • In a spectrophotometer the galvanometer is attached to indicated the amount of light that is getting transmitted through a sample.
  • If the amount of light that is getting transmitted from the sample is more, the reading of the galvanometer would be higher and if less light is transmitted the reading of the galvanometer would be less.
  • Further, the transmittance of a light is inversely proportional to the absorption, that is if the absorption would be low transmittance would be high and vice versa.
  • Therefore, when the chlorophyll is exposed to green light, the transmittance is high and this implies that the absorption of green light would be less.
  • Similarly, when the chlorophyll is exposed to blue light, a low transmittance indicates a higher absorption of blue light by chlorophyll.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No todas las mutaciones conducen a la evolución. Solo las mutaciones hereditarias, que ocurren en los óvulos o los espermatozoides, pueden transmitirse a las generaciones futuras y contribuir potencialmente a la evolución.

Codominance or incomplete dominance is the answer in this question. This pattern of color expression is most likely to be an example of incomplete dominance or codominance. Codominance is defined as a form of dominance wherein the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed. Incomplete dominance on the other hand is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one of the allele for a specific trait is incompletely expressed over its paired allele.

Why have improvements in microscopes over time resulted in revisions in the cell theory?
lord [1]
We have been able to see more of the cell in detail. We dont have to guess about things because we can see how it works. The more we see the more theories change because we know more.

A virus is referred to as a particle rather than a cell because structurally it is a A) RNA core in a carbohydrate envelope. B)
Tems11 [23]

The correct option is D.

A virus refers to an infectious micro organism that is made up of nucleic acid molecule that is enclosed within a protein coat. Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they come in contact with living cells, in the absence of living cells they remain dormant and they do not show any sign of been a living thing. The nuclei acid molecule of a virus can be in form of a DNA molecule or a RNA molecule.
