A scientist was studying the effects of oil contamination on ocean seaweed. He believed that oil runoff from storm drains would

keep seaweed from growing normally. He had two large aquarium tanks of equal size. He kept the amount of dissolved oxygen and the water temperature the same in each tank. He added some motor oil to one tank but not to the other. He then measured the growth of seaweed plants in each tank. In the tank with no oil, the average growth was 2.57cm/day. The average growth of the seaweed in the tank with oil was 2.37cm/day. Based on this experiment, answer the following questions:
What was the question that the scientist started with?
What was his hypothesis?
Identify the independent variable.
Identify the dependent variable.
Identify the control(s).
What did the data show

Identify the independent variable.

The oil.

Identify the dependent variable.

The ocean seaweed.

Identify the control(s).

The water.

What did the data show

The data showed that oil contamination in water does in fact have an affect on ocean seaweed. The plant in water without water grew .20 more centimeters than the plant in the oil contaminated water.

Which of the following can be inferred from the genetic code?
valkas [14]

Answer:

A. All organisms have a common biochemical evolutionary origin.

Explanation:

Genetic code is the biological mechanism by which the DNA in our body is used to synthesize protein needed for growth and development. The genetic code comprises of all the possible 64 codons i.e. a group of three nucleotides that encode an amino acid.

One of the characteristics of the genetic code is that it is UNIVERSAL. This means that all known living organisms make use of the same genetic code and hence, this portrays that all living organisms share a common biochemical evolutionary origin.

Explain how the use of genetically engineered products can affect the economy and society.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

due to gmos we can expand the shelf life of many of our foods and prevent them from the harm of pests. You night be rhinking why not use pesticides? well, we did but eventually the pests became immune to the low dose of pesticide. over time we gradually increased our uses of pesticides. more commonly round up. this pesticide specifically was known for being a carcinogen. (something that causes cancer.) Genetically modifying a crop can severely decrease the amount of pesticides used for our crops and could also potentially drop the prices. for example, in hawaii during the 1940s to 1990s the ringspot viruses hit the hawaiian papaya harvest hard. this reduced the amount of papaya produced by 50 percent by 1993 and 2006. the ringspot virus nearly wiped out the entire crop. within 11 months, the hawaiian papya was saved. due to gmos of course. this is because scientists took genes from immune papayas which very rarelt occured (at the time) and injected it into many other papya plants. as the plants grew, new papaya was produced which was immine to ringspit virus. PAPAYA WAS SAVED!!!!

I hope this helped! :) Have a nice day!
