Explanation:
The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed
Answer:
After you have established a research question, which of the following should you do first?
put your research question into a null and alternative hypothesis
Explanation:
It expedient that after research question has been established, one needs to make a null hypothesis and alternate it, this gives a clue of what the researcher intends to find or problem to be solved.
I believe the answer is a mutation.
Answer:
A. DNA Polymerase
Explanation:
It absolutely cannot be C. Ozone or D. Radiation since those two answers are in relation to outside variables affecting health. Not inherited diseases. Therefore, it is in between A. or B.
