Answer:
needs the identities and profiles of possible victims.
Explanation:
A database management system (DBMS) can be defined as a collection of software applications that typically enables computer users to create, store, modify, retrieve and manage data or informations in a database. Generally, it allows computer users to efficiently retrieve and manage their data with an appropriate level of security. Also, a data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.
The database used for the identification of victims of earthquakes needs the identities and profiles of possible victims.
This ultimately implies that, the identities and profiles of possible or potential victims must have been collected and saved in a database prior to the natural disaster such as earthquake, tornado, wildfire, volcanic eruption etc. These database may be from a bank.
Answer:
B.
The flagellates and termites share an obligate mutualistic association
Explanation:
Organisms of same or different species tend to interact with one another in an ecosystem. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. A type of symbiotic relationship is MUTUALISM, which is when both organisms benefits from the relationship.
However, mutualistic relationship can be of different types depending on how dependent the involved organisms are on each other. The example in this question illustrates OBLIGATE MUTUALISM, which is when the organisms involved in the mutualistic relationship depend on one another for survival. This is the case of the termites and the flaggelates where the termite depends on the flaggelate for enzymes that helps them digest cellulose while the flaggelates depend on termite for nourishment/food.
The termite will not survive if it doesn't get enzymes to digest its cellulose while the flaggelates will also not survive if they do not get nourished. Hence, the two organisms share an OBLIGATE MUTUALISTIC RELATIONSHIP.
Answer:
The first attached figure below shows the design of an agarose gel with four sequencing reactions. The second figure presents a photo of an agarose gel, so that you can better understand how the bands are represented in this gel.
Explanation:
To view the bands of four sequencing reactions on an agarose gel, you will need to use a melted agarose gel, plastic combs suitable for that reaction and a container suitable for that type of gel. You will place the plastic combs in the container and pour all the gel into the vat and wait for the melted gel to solidify. The plastic combs will form holes in the hardened gel where the DNA samples will be placed.
Once the gel is hardened, you will remove the plastic combs and begin to apply the sequenced DNA.
The sequenced DNA samples will be mixed with a dye, usually bromophenol blue, which will allow you to visualize the bands formed on the gel. You will also apply the dye to a sample without DNA containing only the dye, which serves as a comparison for the size of the bands.
Each sample of DNA will be plated in the column of holes formed by the plastic combs. Then, this container, with the gel, will be placed in a larger container that contains a loading buffer. The larger container will be closed and an electric field will be applied that will force the DNA samples to be moved from one pole to another inside the container, in this case, the samples leave the negative pole for the positive pole.
After a few minutes, it is possible to visualize the DNA displacement and at the end of the procedure it will be possible to visualize the formation of bands as shown in the drawing and in the figure below. The size of these bands can be compared and analyzed.
Answer: A) The resident populations are more likely affected by these threats because of their proximity to shore.
Explanation:
All of these threats are higher in coastal regions.
As contaminants usually reach the ocean through rivers or because of coastal cities, the highest degree of pollution is there. All chemicals will accumulate in this region first, before they disperse into the offshore region. This is also caused by the fact that the coastal waters have a lower volume and surface area than the offshore which results in a higher degree of contamination.
