Acid mine drainage occurs when surface water infiltrates which of the following? A) strip-mined coal beds B) spoil banks where w

The correct option is C.
Acid mine drainage refers to the outflow of acidic water from a mining site. This acidic water is usually formed as a result of the chemical oxidation of pyrite [iron sulphide, FeS2]which is often found together with valuable metals. 
Acid mine drainage occurs when water flow over or through sulfur bearing materials.

The pH indicator bromothymol blue is blue in an alkaline solution and yellow
N76 [4]

Answer:

I think the full question is this:

The pH indicator bromothymol blue is blue in an alkaline solution and yellow in an acidic solution. A slight increase in acidity, such as when CO2 gas is added, causes a solution with the indicator to change from blue to yellow. A solution with the indicator would be most likely to turn from yellow to blue when which combination of factors exists? A. Yeast cells and sugar are placed in the solution. B. Water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp. C. Algae are placed in the solution and left in a dark room. D. A person blows air into the solution through a straw.

Answer is option B

B. Water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp.

Explanation:

When CO2 gas was added, it causes a solution with the indicator to change from blue to yellow. A combination of factors that can cause this solution to change from the yellow to its initial blue colour is utilizing a photosynthetic organism which in the presence of light can utilize and remove these carbondioxide and revert the yellow colour of the solution to blue

Thus, water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp

Algae are placed in the solution and left in a room filled with light

1. You are studying a trait in corn that you believe exhibits Mendelian inheritance. You count phenotypes and find that there ar
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

This trait is inherited in a Mendelian fashion.

Explanation:

Chi-square test is used to test the relationship b/w variables, on performing the chi-square test on traits of corn, value that we obtained was zero, it means that there is no relationship b/w two traits. So, the trait has been inherited independently in Mendelian fashion.

46. The experiments that clearly showed that DNA from every organism studied had an amount of adenine equal to the amount of thy
Pepsi [2]

The given question number 48 is not complete, the complete question is:

Who utilized the process of transformation, as originally demonstrated by Frederick Griffith, to provide the first solid evidence suggesting that DNA was the genetic material of living systems (in this case bacteria)?

Messelson and Stahl

Thomas Morgan

Erwin Chargaff

Hershey and Chase

Avery, McCarty and Macleod

Answer:

The correct answer of 46 is option d, that is, Erwin Chargaff.

The correct answer of 47 is option c, that is, G0 phase.

The correct answer of 48 is option e, that is, Avery, McCarty and Macleod.

Explanation:

46. Erwin Chargaff with the help of an experiment demonstrated that the amount of adenine present within the DNA is always equivalent to the amount of thymine present, similarly, guanine is always found in equal number to cytosine. He also demonstrated that pairing is always done between pyrimidines and purines within the DNA.  

47. It is in the G0 stage, also known as the quiescent stage, where a human cell is found in the non-proliferating phase. It is also considered as the resting stage of the cell cycle in which cell gathers enough of the substances for its nourishment. When the cell moves into the G0 stage of the cell cycle, then the cell either goes to further stages of the cycle when needed or goes through the process of differentiation.  

48. To prove that DNA works as a genetic substance, the Griffith experiment was further used by Avery, McCarthy, and Macloed. The experiment was again performed on a biochemical basis. In the experiment, distinct constituents of the bacterial cell were digested with the assistance of digestive enzymes, and in the process, it was found that when digestion of DNA was done, the process of transformation failed to take place. The performed experiment was also called the biochemical assay of transformation.

The rotation is responsible for what we call _________; the tilt on the axis influences the ________.
masya89 [10]
Well basically rotation causes Night and Day. The earth tilts on a 23.5 degree tilt and that is also a big part of day and night. Seasons are also affected by the tilt. When the earth is tilted towards the sun, it’s summer when it’s tilted away from the sun, it’s winter
