Hot springs in Yellowstone National Park can reach 205 degrees Fahrenheit (96 degrees Celsius), a temperature at which few organ

isms can survive. Organisms called thermophiles, however, thrive at this temperature and produce the bright color of the park's Grand Prismatic Spring. Which statement is a testable hypothesis to explain how thermophiles can grow at such a high temperature?
Thermophiles were created to live at high temperature.
Thermophiles obtain energy from high temperature environments.
Thermophiles have heat-resistant enzymes.
Thermophiles have been found in many high temperature environments.

Answer:

Thermophiles have heat-resistant enzymes.

Explanation:

A hypothesis refers to the possible explanation of processes and is based on observation.  

Thermophiles are able to survive the extremes of the temperature found in hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Their ability to withstand such temperature may be due to the presence of heat resistant enzymes.

Since enzymes are proteins, they are denatured at higher temperatures. It is one of the factors that determine the temperature range that can be tolerated by an organism.  

Hence, the presence of heat resistant enzymes in thermophiles can be one of the possible explanations about their ability to survive under the temperature as high as 205 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why would tissue from the fetal stage of human development be used to look at mitosis?
WITCHER [35]
Mitosis is the process of cell division, where one parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. This process is vital in growth and tissue repair. 
The reason that tissue from the fetal stage is helpful in studying mitosis is because mitosis is continuously and rapidly occurring in this phase of life in humans. The high rate of mitosis is due to the need for the fetus to grow rapidly and develop the necessary parts for it to be born.

Which of the following are important features for transcription?
devlian [24]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A and B.

Explanation:

Transcription is a process which synthesizes a complementary molecule of DNA which acts a messenger called RNA.

The gene contains a sequence of the nucleotide at the beginning of gene called promoter sequence. The promoter sequence has the ability to attach an RNA synthesizing enzyme called RNA polymerase.

The RNA polymerase is the enzyme which synthesizes the RNA molecules using a single strand of DNA called template strand.  RNA polymerase binds nucleotide at 3' end of the strand thus proceeding the strand in 5' to 3' direction.  

The promoter and RNA polymerase begins the process of transcription and thus option-A and B is the correct answer.

Sever21 [200]

The generalization that all organisms are composed of cells was established through multiple observations in various kinds of animals and plants. A controlled experiment of finding cells in all the kinds of living organisms is not possible or is infeasible as it will require prior knowledge of all the kinds of organisms inhabiting Earth and the effort to catch and bring them in the controlled environment of the lab for testing.
