Answer:

The correct/closest option is b

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are enzymes (endonucleases) that cut short DNA strands at specific sites. Hence, each restriction enzyme has it's own specific site (between two bases) it cuts at. There are two types of end that can be produced by this cut; the blunt end and the sticky end.

A restriction enzyme recognizes (palindromic sequence) and cut in it's own specific end.

For example, if a restriction enzyme cuts between a guanine (G) and an adenine (A), and it cuts a palindromic double stranded DNA in the manner below, it produces a sticky end.

G║AATTC

CTTAA║G

And if a restriction enzyme cuts between guanine (G) and cytosine (C) in the manner below, it produces a blunt end.

GGG║CCC

CCC║GGG

Hence, from the question, restriction enzymes (although chosen by the scientist based on desired sequence to be cut) recognize the sticky or blunt ends itself.

Answer:

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

Explanation:

Hello!

The first thing we must consider to solve this problem is the continuity equation that states that the amount of mass flow that enters a system is the same as what should come out.

m1=m2

Now remember that mass flow is given by the product of density, cross-sectional area and velocity

(α1)(V1)(A1)=(α2)(V2)(A2)

where

α=density

V=velocity

A=area

Now we can assume that the input and output areas are equal

(α1)(V1)=(α2)(V2)

$\frac{V2}{V1} =\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2}$

Now we can use the equation that defines the percentage of increase, in this case for speed

$i=(\frac{V2}{V1} -1) 100$

Now we use the equation obtained in the previous step, and replace values

$i=(\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2} -1) 100\\i=(\frac{1.2}{0.955} -1) 100=25.65$

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

belka [17]

Answer: the increase in the external resistor will affect and decrease the current in the circuit.

Explanation: A battery has it own internal resistance, r, and given an external resistor of resistance, R, the equation of typical of Ohm's law giving the flow of current is

E = IR + Ir = I(R + r)........(1)

Where IR is the potential difference flowing in the external circuit and Or is the lost voltage due to internal resistance of battery. From (1)

I = E/(R + r)

As R increases, and E, r remain constant, the value (R + r) increases, hence the value of current, I, in the external circuit decreases.
