A sample of living tissue of a fish-eating bird species was found to have a specific, heavy metal concentration of 700,000 ppt (

parts per trillion). What is the best inferential explanation you could make based on these data
Biology

Andrej [43]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>The best inferential explanation is that the heavy metal concentration was gotten from the build up of small amounts of heavy metal in the birds, gotten from consuming fishes from a heavy-metal -polluted water body.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If a sample of fish-eating bird species is found to contain such a large concentration of heavy metal, then the primary source of the heavy metal concentration in their body will be from their food source. Fish-eating birds are in most cases, solely dependent on fish for their food. Most of them do not eat any other food apart from fish, so the problem can be pin-pointed to the fishes they consume. <em>The best inferential explanation is that the heavy metal concentration was gotten from the build up of small amounts of heavy metal in the birds, that is gotten from ingesting fishes that have ingested heavy metals in them. This can be as a result of the pollution of water bodies like streams, lakes and seas from heavy-metal-containing industrial wastes.  </em>

What types of features would be visible if the oceans were drained?
lesya [120]
Draining the oceans would show features such as mid-ocean ridges. These features would look like an extensive mountain range running down the spine of the ocean floor. This region marks the area where two oceanic tectonic plates are being pushed apart. Closer to land or the continents would be a gentle shelf that gradually deepens as one moves away from the coastline. This relatively gentle plain would then make a steep drop off down to an extensive plain stretching towards ocean ridges. The ocean floor also supports lone mountain structures, canyons and chasms.

Snapdragons are a type of flower. When red snapdragons are crossed with white snapdragons the resulting flowers are all pink. A
Akimi4 [234]

There is a 50% probability that the flowers of a plant with pink flowers parents will have pink flowers due to incomplete dominance.

The genotypes and phenotypes that we will employ to address this issue are as follows:

RR - Red

RW - Pink

WW -  White

They would have the RW genotype as the first parent plant is pink. They would have the WW genotype because the other parent is white. When the Pink flower parents are crossed, the children that might be expected from this cross

RW x RW

The progeny will be : 1 RR (Red), 2 RW (Pink) and 1 WW (White)

This shows that there is a 50% probability that the progeny will have the RW genotype and thus the pink phenotype. Additionally, we can observe that there is a 25% likelihood that the progeny will have the WW and RR genotype and the white and Red phenotype.

yarga [219]

Answer:

On a biological level, the main difference is that bacteria and free-living cells can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molocules that need a host to survive.

If a molecule of DNA has 30% Adenine how much of the other bases will be present?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

If a DNA molecule has 30% Adenine the percentage of the other bases is Thymine: 30% Cytosine: 20% Guanine: 20%.

Explanation:

When the percentage that a base has in a DNA molecule is given, the percentage of the other bases can be known using the Chargaff's base pair rule.

A DNA molecule has the information of the genome of a living being, according to a specific sequence of its nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

Chargaff was able to establish that in a DNA molecule the ratio of purine : pyrimidine of 1:1, so there must be the same amount of thymine as adenine and a similar amount of guanine for the cytosine, taking into account the complementarity of bases.

Taking into account the law of the base pair, if in a DNA chain there is 30% of Adenine, in the molecule there is:

  • <em>Adenine 30%. </em>
  • <em>Thymine 30%. </em>
  • <em>Cytosine 20%. </em>
  • <em>Guanine 20%. </em>
  • <em>Total ..... 100% </em>

In this case, the <u>Chargaff rule is useful to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases that exist in a DNA molecule, knowing the percentage of a single base</u>.
