Question: Which of the following would be considered a source of error in an experiment

A) only three house flies were collected for an experiment

B) A beaker is knocked over and the contents are spilled on the floor

C) the data do not support the hypothesis

D) An incorrect average is calculated for the control group

Answer:

"Only three house flies were collected for an experiment " would be considered as a source of error in an experiment.

Explanation:

Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.

How does cystic fibrosis affect meiosis?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The defective CFTR protein changes ion influx and efflux across the body's cell membranes, which ultimately changes the internal environment of these cells. This change contributes to each cell's production of proteins through transcription and translation.

A number of major evolutionary innovations arose in the fish lineage. Check all of the evolutionary innovations associated with

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) Teeth arose from the rough scales of ancestral sharks.

b) Skeletal developments leading to the amphibian movement onto land probably evolved from lobe-finned fishes.

d) The anterior gill arch formed the basis for the evolution of the vertebrate jaw.

Explanation:

The animals we know today have physical characteristics that are evolutionary adaptations of characteristics of their ancestors, which have undergone a series of evolutions and modifications over the years giving rise to new species that have resulted in the species we know today. This process of evolutions and adaptations also happened with the ancestral species of fish, which allowed that today, they had characteristics such as teeth and jaws. Many of these evolutions occurred even in different species, such as the evolution that allowed the amphibians to have a skeleton, which evolved from the spine fins of fish.

The crispr system involves the cas9 enzyme, which identifies specific nucleotides to be cut using a(n) ________ molecule as a gu

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

CRISPR system was discovered by a Japanese scientist. Naturally bacteria and many other prokaryotes have CRISPR system in their genome which they use as a self defense against a pathogen which is invading them. It consists of inter spaced, short palindromic nucleotide repeats which encode a guide RNA (gRNA). This guide RNA (gRNA) recognizes the target sequence on the pathogen. The gRNA is followed by Cas9 enzyme which along with the gRNA plays a very important role in breaking genome of the pathogen. Once the target gene is cut down the rest of the DNA can be rejoined by non homologous end joining.

But nowadays, scientists are using this system for genome editing and incorporating desired gene between the two ends which are cut down by CRISPR Cas9 system.
