You can not worry about being shocked due to the cord being insulated not allowing the voltage to go through you but the cord

Answer:

The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you (C)

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.

Fill in the blanks.Phosphorylation cascades are similar to a row of dominoes falling down, instead of one domino knocking down t
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:Phosphorylation cascades are similar to a row of dominoes falling down, instead of one domino knocking down the next, a phosphate being added activates the message. In this way, a series of different _(phosphate group) are each _(added ) after another. Inactive protein kinase 1 gets a __(phosphate group_)___ added and now it is active protein kinase 1. Active protein kinase 1 transfers a (phosphate group) and now inactive protein kinase 2 is now ___(active)_____. This continues until the desired (protein ) is activated to cause a cellular response.

Which of the following types of mutations is MOST likely to alter the encoded protein?A single nucleotide deletionA point mutati
victus00 [196]

Answer:

A point mutation in the 1st base of a codon

Explanation:

A point mutations are mutations of one base in the DNA sequence. The effects of point mutations might be harmful, beneficial or neutral.

Deletion mutations are frameshift mutation, because they change the reading frame and thus affect the sequence of amino acids produced. Usually, protein changes its structure and function and become useless.

Point mutations at 2nd base of codon are misssense mutations, meaning that the new amino acid is produced, but it can be amino acid with similar properties. That will not affect the function of the protein a lot.

3rd base of a codon are often silent mutations, which means that the sam amino acid is produced (multiple codons can code for the same amino acid).
