Answer:
Explanation:
Answer is: If the amount of snakes increased, the number of rabbits decreases.
A food chain refers to a linear arrangement of associations in a food web beginning from producer species and terminating at zenith predator species. In the given question, the increase of snakes population will eventually result in a decrease of rabbit population, a rabbit is a herbivore which is consumed by the higher predator snake.
Answer:
1) d. observe phenomenon; generate hypothesis, conduct experiment, accept, reject, or modify hypothesis.
C. A study that compares a aroup of people with diabetes to a similar aroup of people without diabetes is an example of a case-control study.
Explanation:
Scientific method is a step by step procedure ranging from observing a problem to actual experimentation that aims at investigating a problem. The steps involved in the scientific method are as follows:
a)observe phenomenon; This precedes every experiment in the scientific method.
b) generate hypothesis: This is a testable explanation given as a possible solution to the observed problem.
c) conduct experiment: The hypothesis is tested via experimentation.
d) accept, reject, or modify hypothesis: Based on the result of the experiment, the hypothesis can be rejected, accepted or even modified.
Question 2:
Case control study is a type of study design that uses or compares a group of affected individuals (by a disease) called CASES and unaffected individuals called CONTROL. In this case, A study that compares a group of people with diabetes (cases) to a similar aroup of people without diabetes (control) is an example of a case-control study.
The majority of electricity is generated at a power station by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind.
Answer:
C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.
Explanation:
The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.
In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.
When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.
Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.
Answer:
b. A transferase deficiency will result in an accumulation of the toxic metabolite galactosse 1-phosphate.
c. A galactokinase deficiency will cause an accumulation of galactose.
Explanation:
Transferase is an enzyme which is responsible for the breakdown of galactose which is a known milk sugar. Its deficiency causes the formation of toxic materials such as galactose-1-phosphate which comes from galactose, and galactitol. Galactokinase is also an enzyme which helps in the conversion of galactose into galactose 1-phosphate with the expenditure of ATP molecule, so its deficiency causes the deposition of galactose.
