What do you think can be learned from samples of sediment from the ocean floor?

Sea floor sediment provide an invaluable key to past climate change. Finely varved sediments from areas of rapid deposition provide a high-resolution record of past climate variation, and volcanic ash layers contribute to the comprehensive study of climate change on relatively short timescales. Oceanographers like to say that we know more about the dark side of the Moon than we do about the oceans. That statement is doubly true of the seafloor. Although modern technology has allowed us to learn more about the seafloor, vast regions remain unexplored. Scuba divers can only dive to about 40 meters and they cannot stay down there for very long. Although this is good for researching the organisms and ecosystems very near a coast, most oceanic research requires accessing greater depths.

Which process is most likely to result in a gene providing antibiotic resistance to be found in a viral genome

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

There are two important types of genetic mechanisms that can give rise to antibiotic resistance: mutation and acquisition of new genetic material. In the case of mutation, the rate at which resistance develops can be attributed to the rate at which bacteria mutate.

"tall" "purple" and "wrinkled" are examples of Dominant Recessive Genotypes Phenotypes

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Phenotypes

Explanation:

'Phenotype' is just a fancy way of saying 'what an organism looks like'. Those words describe an organism's physical appearance and not its genetic makeup--that's its genotype.

You can remember it this way:

Phenotype

Physical characteristics/appearance

----

Genotype

Genetic makeup

Given the inefficiency of two of the pathways shown in Figure 2-4, what advantage could

grandymaker [24]

I’m assuming this entire thing is cellular respiration. pathway a most likely represents alcoholic fermentation, B represent lactic acidosis fermentation, C probably represents aerobic cellular respiration. Alcoholic fermentation doesn’t occur in humans, it occurs in micro bacteria and yeast. Lactic acidosis fermentation occurs in humans when there is not oxygen. That’s why you breathe so heavily after sprinting. Cellular respiration just happens naturally. Idk if that’s what the question is asking so feel free to comment and if this helped, brain answer?

Citrus2011 [14]

The answer is C: The Neanderthals cared for the wounded and the elderly. The fact that the skeleton showed signs of broken bones that had healed indicated that the individual had been nurtured back to health after injury. The loss of teeth showed that the individual had lived to an old age.
