A. Science cannot answer philosophical questions. Philosophical questions could be described as rheoretical questions, such as "what is the purpose of life?" These questions' answers can very from person to person. Science answers questions such as "what is the boiling point of water?", or "what is the chemical structure of water? These are both questions that have the same answer, no matter who is asking them. You just have to have the ability to accurately measure and observe the things involved, or in this case, the temperature of the water when it starts to boil or whe different atoms in the water.

Let's examine the other questions.

B. science can answer only mathematical questions. As you saw in the explanation above, science can also answer other questions, as long as they have a definite answer that we can accurately measure.

C.Science can answer any questions. Again, we have already saw that science cannot answer philosophical questions, so science cannot answer any question.

D. Science can answer any difficult questions. As with the example of the chemical stucture of water, we can answer difficult questions with science. This may seem simple to you, but it would be very difficult if it was not already known!

What is the definition for temperature inversion
Katyanochek1 [597]

A temperature inversion is a thin layer of the atmosphere where the normal decrease in temperature with height switches to the temperature increasing with height. An inversion acts like a lid, keeping normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.

Answer:

SIMPLE DIFFUSION transport

Explanation:

According to this question, John could smell the fragrance of his newly bought bottle of cologne all the way up the hall before he can even get into his bedroom, where he usually keeps it. However, he realizes when he got to his bedroom that he left the bottle of cologne uncovered.

The fragrance of the cologne that spreads from the bedroom all through the hall is as a result of SIMPLE DIFFUSION, a form of PASSIVE TRANSPORT. Diffusion is a form of passive transport in which molecules/fluids move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until it is evenly spread. This is the case with John's cologne, which spread from the bedroom where the concentration is high to the hall, where it is low.

Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes, Y for pigment on the outside of the feather, and B for pigment on
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The two blue budgies are most likely to be yyBb each

Explanation:

there are 3 different scenarios possible for crossing blue budgies:

1) yyBB crossed with yyBB

this is not possible because it does not allow for the genotype yybb (white budgies)

2) yyBB crossed with yyBb

again, this cross will not yield the genotype yybb required for white budgies as given in the problem statement

3) yyBb crossed with yyBb

which leaves us with this option being most likely the genotype of the parent budgies who will have white budgies as offspring

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Give two examples of modified stems and explain how each example benefits the plant.
kipiarov [429]

Here I provide you some examples of modified stems:

<u>Bulb:</u> discoid stems that have a single apical bud surrounded by numerous cataphiles, and in their part I have adventitious roots. Its function is the reserve.

<u>Tuber</u>: They are portions of stems with irregular growth, which forms tuberosities due to the large accumulation of reserve substances.

<u>Cladodes: </u>are flattened stems, very thick, green leaves look alike and have photosynthetic function.

<u>Stem tendrils:</u> they are filamentous stems, which can be rolled up so that the plant can climb grasped of various objects, which is useful when the plant needs to look for the greatest possible luminosity, especially in areas where shadows predominate.

Phylloclades: Stems sheet form with limited growth, like a leaf, green and photosynthetic color.

Why are retroviruses considered a special class of viruses?
o-na [289]

Answer:

They transcribe RNA to DNA using reverse transcriptase.

Explanation:

<u>Retrovirus</u>

A type of virus that uses RNA as its genetic material. After infecting a cell, a retrovirus uses an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA into DNA. The retrovirus then integrates its viral DNA into the DNA of the host cell, which allows the retrovirus to replicate. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is a retrovirus.

Retroviruses have an enzyme, called reverse transcriptase, that gives them the unique property of transcribing their RNA into DNA after entering a cell.
