Plants roots display positive gravitropism which means they grow in the direction of gravity
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, a tree is falling over in a forest make a sound because both the tree and ground are hard surfaces which can produces sound by contact physically with each other. For testing this hypothesis, we have to take a tree and cut that tree. when the tree falls on the ground it will definitely produces sounds by contact physically with the ground when falls with a large force.
Answer:
The depth at which Drew found the algae
Explanation:
The dependent variable was the depth at which he found the algae, because that is what he measured on each day.
The independent variable was the sky conditions, since that changed from clear to cloudy, which impacted the dependent variable/the depth of the algae.
Answer/Explanation:
(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein
To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.
To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.
(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.
To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.
To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR
Answer:
similarities
Explanation:
The concept of reproductive isolation relates more toward genetic similarities to distinguish between species. The barriers prevent closely related species living in the same geographical area from interbreeding. They help to keep each species distinct from the others.
