The photo shows a space heater. Which energy transformation is shown in the photo? A. Chemical - electromagnetic and thermal B.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

D. Electrical - electromagnetic and thermal​

Explanation:

Energy is the capacity to do work, and it exists in various forms. Some of its forms are: nuclear energy, solar energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy, sound energy, light energy, heat/ thermal energy etc. These forms can be transformed from one to another. Example is the conversion of electrical energy into light energy and heat energy by an electrical Tungsten-bulb.

A space heater is an electrical device used for generation of majorly heat energy, thus it is powered by electrical energy. Therefore it transforms electrical energy into electromagnetic and thermal.

28. What are some possible consequences of a mutation? Give a specific example for each consequence you list. 29. You are a scie
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span>For prokaryotes, most regulatory proteins are negative and therefore turn genes off. It is beneficial by: Vary the numbers of specific enzymes made (regulation of gene expression) Slow, but can have a dramatic effect on metabolic activity Regulate enzymatic pathways (feedback inhibition, allosteric control) Rapid and can be fine-tuned, but if the enzyme system does not have this level of control, then it is useless Prokaryotes are "simple," single celled organisms, so they have "simple" systems Genes are grouped together based on similar functions into functional units called operons MANY GENES UNDER ONE CONTROL!!! There is one single on/off switch for the genes</span> The gene that contains information for the production for that particular enzyme is cut out from a normal person's DNA using special restriction enzymes, which produces 'sticky ends' on the gene. Next, a plasmid (a small molecule of DNA) is removed from a bacteria and mixed with the above gene in the presence of the same restriction enzyme to allow the human gene to fit into the plasmid. Then, heat / electricity is applied to the bacteria to open up the cell membrane so that the plasmid can enter the bacteria. This genetically modified bacteria, now being able to produce that particular enzyme, may be allowed to reproduce in large numbers for the large-scale production of that enzyme for human use.<span><span>answer for question 28 
No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.

</span>answer for question 30
<span>Gene regulation is needed in the development of multi-cellular organisms because the complexity of animals and plants depends on a remarkable feature of the genetic control system. Cells have a memory: the genes a cell expresses and the way it behaves depend on the cell's past as well as its present environment.

There are 20 squares and 4 triangles.what is the simplest ratio of triangles to squares?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1 : 5

Explanation:

Ratio is used to show the relationship between two amounts. It tells how many one value is contained within another value. Ratio can be used to compare the size of two or more numbers in relation to each other.

The comparison between this two numbers or quantities is done and expressed by division.

Ratio of triangles to squares = number of triangles : number of squares

Ratio of triangles to squares = 4 : 20

Ratio of triangles to squares = 1 : 5

Lesions to the medial geniculate of the ___________ block conventional auditory fear conditioning.
marissa [1.9K]

Lesions to the medial geniculate of the amygdala block conventional auditory fear conditioning.

Medial geniculate

The medial geniculate body (MGB) is a collection of nuclei that receives heavy input from the IC and acts as a key synaptic junction on the routes that carry data to the cerebral cortex's auditory regions.

One should also think about how the medial geniculate's structure might affect its possible roles as a relay nucleus given the substantial studies on its anatomy. It is not in question that the MGv, which is the lemniscal portion of the MGB, "relays" accurate auditory information to the primary auditory cortex.

To learn more about the medial geniculate refer here:
