Janice was researching combustion. During her research, she came across two different hypotheses—proposed at different times in

history—that both attempted to explain why certain objects burn.
Hypotheses:
Burning is the chemical reaction of a substance with oxygen gas present in the air. The reaction produces water vapor and releases heat energy.
Certain objects are made from a combination of the elements water and fire. Applying heat to these objects separates the fire from the water.
To see which hypothesis better explained the process of combustion, Janice designed and performed an experiment.

Experiment:
A small candle was lit with a match.
The candle was allowed to burn for one minute.
The candle was covered by a glass beaker.
Observations:
The flame of the candle was very hot.
Shortly after being covered, the flame diminished and soon went out.
After the flame went out, water droplets formed on the inside of the beaker.
Which of Janice's observations is explained by Hypothesis I but not by Hypothesis II?

ANSWER:  Janice's observation that is explained by Hypothesis I but not by Hypothesis II is that <u>shortly after the candle was covered by the glass beaker, the flame diminished and soon went out.</u>

REASONING:

Hypothesis I mentions oxygen as an important part of the chemical reaction that causes certain objects to burn.  By placing the glass beaker over the candle, the oxygen supply is cut off.  Once the oxygen inside the beaker is consumed, the flame diminishes and goes out.

Hypothesis II does not mention oxygen as an important part of the chemical reaction.

The blood is collected in heparinized capillary tubes to prevent clotting. Heparin is a blood thinner and this anticoagulant is produced naturally by mast cells and basophils. But heparin can not dissolve or break the preformed clots.

The number of chromosomes in the cells made by meiosis are?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: 46 chromosomes

Explanation: Germ cells contain a complete set of 46 chromosomes (23 maternal chromosomes and 23 paternal chromosomes). By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell.

A species of mud snail was studied for five years. During this time, scientists observed the season in which they mated, the num
sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is option B. The scientists were studying if the mud snails can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The characteristics in the study included parameters such as the mating season, number of offspring, effect of environmental stress conditions and lack of mates. Out of all the parameters being studied can affect asexual reproduction in the mud snail but lack or presence of mates is a parameter required to be studied to determine the mode of reproduction i.e. sexual or asexual because need for mates or mate dependent reproduction occurs in case of sexual reproduction.

In Oompa Loompas, gray face (G) is dominant to orange recessive face (g). If two gray faced Oompas have an offspring with an ora
Neko [114]

Answer:

The genotype for each of the parents must be

parent 1 : Gg

parent 2 : Gg

Explanation:

Please note that a dominant trait is a trait that is expressed phenotypically in a heterozygous state, while a recessive trait is a trait that can only be expressed in a homozygous state.

Now, since gray face (G) for Oompa Loompas is dominant, and orange face (g) is recessive, for an offspring to be orange faced, it means that the genotype of the offspring must be 'gg'. Also, since both parent contribute an allele in the pair of alleles in the offspring, both parents must have the recessive (g) in their genotype. Moreover, we are told that both parents are gray-faced, meaning that their genotypes were 'Gg' and 'Gg'. To confirm, let me do the cross

                                 G           g

G                                GG       Gg

g                                 Gg        gg

from the cross above, we find out that out of 4 offspring, 3 were gray face (GG, Gg ) while one was orange face (gg).
