Answer:
There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.
Explanation:
Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.
In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:
Biology
<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>
<em />
Neuroscience (humans)
<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>
<em />
Behavioral Ecology
<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>
Neuroscience (Animals)
<em>Are killer whales capable of problem-solving?</em>
<em />
Ecology
<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>
<em />
Conservation Biology
<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>
<em />
Animal Behavior
<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>
<em />
Parasitology
<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
Answer:
During DNA packaging, long pieces of double-stranded DNA are tightly looped, coiled, and folded so that they fit easily within the cell. Eukaryotes accomplish this feat by wrapping their DNA around special proteins called histones, thereby compacting it enough to fit inside the nucleus
Answer:
A phospholipid
a. has both polar and nonpolar regions.
Explanation:
Phospholipids, as amphipathic molecules, consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged hydrophilic (water-loving) polar head, which face outward and are attracted to the intracellular and extracellular fluid. The fatty acids are the uncharged, hydrophobic (water-fearing) nonpolar tails, which face the inside, away from the water and meet in the inner region of the membrane.
<u>Answer</u>:
1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.
b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.
Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):
A. the genus or generic name
- written first
- always underlined or italicized
- the first letter is always capitalized
ex. <em>Canis</em>
B. the specific epithet or species name
- is written second
- always underlined or italicized
- never capitalized
ex. <em>lupus</em>
<em />
2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.
Answer:
The best way to classify two different organisms that have similar appearance and are found in the same environment is to use gel-electrophoresis to compare DNA patterns.
Explanation:
When organism possesses the same physical characteristics and are found in the same environment the genetic test must be varried out to ascertain their differences such as DNA test using electrophoresis to compare such
