d. the living world. Biologists need to use the living world in order to back up the scientific method.
Answer and Explanation:
A gene is a section of DNA. The change in the sequence of the DNA is known as mutation. Mutation always changes the sequence of the DNA. Sunlight can cause mutation. Sunlight produces structures named thymine dimers. Thymine dimers produce twist in the shape of DNA. These twists make DNA hard to copy, which can lead to mutation. It is essential to use sunscreen to block UVA and UVB rays to prevent thymine dimers from emerging in our cells. The US Food and Drug Agency recommends an SPF (sun protection factor) to defend against skin aging and skin cancer. X-ray radiation is a form used in x-rays. The energy level of the X-ray radiation is very high that can produce free radicals. Free radicals can steal electrons from DNA that can cause mutation. By using medical images, we can decrease exposure to X-rays. Less exposure to X-rays prevents mutation and also prevents the production of gene protein in other body parts.
Natural selection can cause speciation, which increases the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Several bacterial colonies are placed on a petri dish that contains agar with antibiotics. After 24 hours, ninety percent of the original bacteria die, but the remaining ten percent survive and later reproduce.
Answer:
c. immune functions.
Explanation:
The endocrine system is involved in the regulation of metabolic rate, body temperature (thermoregulation), tissue development and labor contractions except immune functions.
Studies have shown that no hormone has been identified as being important in the regulation of the immune system. Therefore immune functions is not a regulatory function of the endocrine system.
Although, there have been articles on the endocrine and immune system crosstalk, only a hypothesis of various proteohormones not single hormones have been discovered to act on immunocompetent cells.
<span>How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light reactions?
a.The chemical energy used in the dark reactions is produced in the light reactions.
Photosynthesis is divided into two parts.
1) Light - dependent reaction
2) Light - independent reaction
Light dependent reaction absorb energy from the sun to produce ATP and NADPH, these energies are used in the light-independent reaction. The ATP provides the energy, while the NADPH provides the electrons required to fix the carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
