Answer: The DNA of the organism in that area.

Explanation:

Phosphate is found in the DNA of the organism. If the food is contaminated with the radioactive phosphate then it can be examined by the DNA of the organism that had food contaminated with phosphate.

The DNA of the organism consists of the nitrogenous bases, ribose sugar and phosphate.

The traced amount of phosphate can be found in it only.

Causing respiratory rate to
lesya [120]

Answer:

A) Decreases;increase

Explanation:

When there are high levels of carbon dioxide in the respiratory system, the blood pH level decreases, causing respiratory rate to increase.

This condition is acidosis because not enough CO2 escapes lungs hence CO2 accumulates and decreases pH of blood, making it more acidic. As blood pH drops (becomes more acidic), the parts of the brain that regulate breathing are stimulated to produce faster and deeper breathing to increase the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled to bring our body to the ideal pH.

When they were first sold, aerosol insecticides were highly effective in killing flies and mosquitoes. Now, several decades late
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a. The original spraying has caused a permanent mutation, giving the insects genetic resistance to the spray.

Explanation:

This is a practical   evidences   of mutation and  variation,  as   mechanisms of evolution.

The insecticide is the selective pressure. As a results of continuous spray,  the parents of the present mosquitoes  must have acquired certain characteristics or traits by  gene mutation which makes them resistant to the selective pressure (insecticides), and therefore survive the spray  in the past.

Therefore when these resistant parents mated, with high reproductive success (leading to large gene pool of these traits,); variation in the genetic composition increases as the resistant gene is passed from generations to generations in the population. Therefore, the population of  present day mosquito with   genetic resistance to insecticides  increases.They  are therefore  naturally selected, and  able to  survive as  the  present day mosquitoes with high resistance to insecticides.

What are the drops of water that form on cool surfaces during the night called?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Dew is the water droplets found on objects outside of an enclosed/covered area in the morning. Dew occurs as a result of condensation of moisture in the cold atmosphere (at night) which is converted to liquid when it touches objects of higher thermal energy; converting the water in the moist air into water droplets known.

What is the function of NADH and FADH2?
siniylev [52]

The role of NADH and FADH2 is to donate electrons to the electron transport chain. They both donate electrons by providing an hydrogen molecule to the oxygen molecule to create water during the electron transport chain. NADH is a product of both the glycolysis and Kreb cycles. FADH2 is only produced in Krebs cycle.
