Here's one I found interesting.
Can we ever beat photosynthesis?
-It’s one of the holy grails of energy; coming up with a material for capturing the energy of the sun which can beat the efficiency of photosynthesis. This is an incredibly challenging problem, to say the least. And it’s one that could have an outsize impact on our very way of life, leading to energy from water splitting and biomass from energy conversion.
Answer:
So that in a guinea pig cross in the offspring the recessive trait —long hair— can be observed in 25%, the most probable genotype of the parents is heterozygous Ss.
Explanation:
In guinea pigs, for the characteristic<u> hair length, short hair is the dominant allele and long hair is the recessive one</u>.
In order for 25% of the offspring to express the recessive characteristic, the parents must have a recessive genotype, which can be seen in Punnett's Square:
P: <u>Ss X Ss
</u>
<em>Alleles S s
</em>
<em>S SS Ss
</em>
<em>s Ss ss
</em>
Where the offspring is:
- <em>50% Ss with short hair phenotype
</em>
- <em>25% SS with short hair phenotype
</em>
- <em>25% ss whose phenotype would be long hair.
</em>
According to this, heterozygous parents for the characteristic long hair in guinea pigs have a 25% chance of having offspring with long hair.
Answer:
If there would be no biosphere on earth the atmosphere would be quite different. There would be no oxygen to support because oxygen is liberated by plants in photosynthesis so no plants means no oxygen. The earth would be a planet without life just like Venus and Mars. Therefore, no organism would be surviving in the world.
There would be no negligible green house effect and global warming since it is all created due to activities of men.The earth's atmosphere would be much cleaner and with lesser amount of CO2 and O2 but no organism would be there to use them.
Hope it help!
The answer to this question is "fluid mosaic model". We are being asked the question above and the complete sentence is below:
The contemporary description of the membrane structure of a cell is commonly known as the FLUID MOSAIC MODEL.
I am confident that the answer should be.....<span>A protein acts as a pump and moves calcium ions from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
Hope this helps.
