Answer:

The correct option is d) head.

Explanation:

Bicoid protein works as a transcription factor. It enters the nuclei of the embryos in early segmentation, where it activates the hunchback gene. In Drosophila, embryonic development begins at the time of fertilization. The sperm enters the mature oocyte through the micropile, a structure located in what will be the anterior region of the egg. Bicoid and hunchback mRNAs, protein products are critical for the formation of the head and thorax. Already in the early stages of oocyte development, certain mRNAs are located in specific regions of the oocyte: mRNA molecules encoding the Bicoid protein are preferentially located in the anterior region of the oocyte. Moderate levels of the bicoid protein are necessary to activate the formation of the thorax (i.e., the expression of the hunchback gene) but the formation of the head requires high concentrations of Bicoid, the promoters of a specific gap gene of the head must have sites of low affinity binding for Bicoid, so that this gene can be activated only in extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.

The lack of Bicoid protein affects the formation of the head and other structures in the anterior region of the oocyte.

Meselson and Stahl were trying to determine if DNA replication was semiconservative, conservative, or dispersive by labeling E.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

All of the following options are correct except option C. in the Meselson Stahl experiment, after the first round of replication, the DNA molecules made consisted mainly of one parental strand and one new strand each which is the DNA molecules of intermediate density (H-L). Then future replications will produce more of the low density L-L density. This form of replication is thus termed to be the semi conservative form of replication

How a hydroelectric power plant works, including why dams are built as parts of large hydro power plants
ycow [4]
<span>Hydropower plants they do capture the energy of the falling water which generates electricity.

 Turbines convert kinetic energy which is of falling water into mechanical energy. The generator will then convert mechanical energy.

The generator will then convert mechanical energy which is from the turbine to electrical energy. Dams are being built to increase potential energy for it to fall from a higher distance.
The greater the potential energy which is above the surface of the earth the higher the substance which is being suspended.</span>

Which metabolic pathway is correctly paired with an example?
Serggg [28]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The metabolic pathway that is correctly paired with an example would be anabolism -photosynthesis and protein. Anabolism is the process where the body utilizes the energy released by catabolism. Hope this answers the question.
