Like DNA, RNA contains four nitrogenous bases. Three of them are the same as those found in DNA.

1 answer:

4 0

In DNA, four bases have been found. They are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The first three of these bases are found in RNA also but the fourth which is uracil (U) is absent in it. RNA contains cytosine and uracil as pyrimidine bases while DNA has cytosine and thymine.

What are brownfields

Daniel [21]

The lands which are lef unuse after it is affected by environmental contamination.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Brownfields are abandoned or unused fields where reuse is hindered by real or observed environmental contamination. The places may include localities destroyed by hazardous materials, petroleum or mine-scarred land.
Brownfields are found in a city or town's manufacturing section, on areas with discontinued factories or industrial buildings, or other earlier contaminating operations like steel millhouses, refineries or landfills. It is mainly found in urban cities where there is normally a stronger potential to redevelop these localities.
Some of the most frequent contaminants known at Brownfield sites are from fuels such as grease, propellant, diesel and kerosene from subterrene storage tanks, floor drains, External storage of barrels and machine, and cleaning solvents.

Which of the following is a common treatment for type III hypersensitivity reactions?

mestny [16]

Answer:

Anti-inflammatory steroid treatments

Explanation:

The exaggerated or hyper active response of the immune system causes hyper sensitive reactions in the body. These immune reactions are generally uncomfortable and harmful for the body.

Type III hypersensitivity reaction mainly occur due to the neutrophils, IgG and complement. This hyper sensitivity reaction can be treated by anti-inflammatory steroid treatments as the neutrophils are the main mediators of this reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

This tutorial will take you step by step through the question. Individuals with the genotypes Aa Bb CC Dd and Aa bb Cc Dd are cr

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a) 1/16

b) 1/64

c) 1/32

Explanation:

According to the law of independent assortment, each allele of a particular gene has equal chances of getting inherited into the gametes.

In a Mendelian cross of Aa x Aa would give;

AA = 1/4,

Aa = 2/4 and

aa = 1/4

The result of the cross between AaBb x AaBb would be 1/16 due to the fact that probability is still the same AA = 1/4, BB = 1/4 therefore, AABB = 1/16 = 1/4× 1/4.

Now based on this crossing the following:

AaBbCCDd x AabbCcDd.

Take each allele as individual

Aa x Aa would give; AA = 1/4, Aa = 2/4 and aa = 1/4

Bb x bb would give; BB = 1/2, bb = 1/2

CC x Cc would give; CC = 1/2, Cc = 1/2

Dd x Dd would give; DD = 1/4, Dd = 2/4 and dd = 1/4

Then the probability of progeny of the following would be:

a) the probability of AaBbCcDd = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 2/4 = 1/16

b) the probability of aabbCCdd = 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/64

c) the probability of AabbCcDD = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/32

The city of Los Angeles wants to know if there is a connection between physical fitness and air pollution. Fifty volunteers from

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber

Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles

Independent variable: exposure to air pollution

Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.

N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).

In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).

The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.
