A scientist hypothesizes that the lack of chinook salmon is negatively affecting the orca population. Would this hypothesis need

to be tested by another scientist in order to become a theory? Why or why not?

Answer: Yes

Even if there is an abundance of fish in the oceans, and that even if the general rule is that big things eat smaller things, it is not true with the <span>orca population (whales).  Whales depend on chinook salmon for survival, and truly, the hypothesis that the lack of chinook salmon negatively affecting the orca population is true.</span>

<span>However, for a hypothesis to become lifted to the ranks of a theory once it passes a series of tests. Other scientists may claim its correctness, other may oppose to it.  So there is a need to </span><span>differentiate between the hypothesis on checking and competing hypotheses.</span>

Discribe the processes of transcriotion and translation
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Please find the explanation of transcription and translation below using the key words.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process whereby a gene in a DNA template is used to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule in the nucleus of the cell. This process of transcription occurs with the aid of an enzyme called RNA POLYMERASE, which adds the nucleotides complementary to the one it reads in the gene to the growing mRNA strand.

Translation, on the other hand, is the second process of gene expression involving the synthesis of proteins from the mRNA sequence. This process occurs in the RIBOSOME where a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA called CODON is read by another group of complementary nucleotide in the transfer RNA (tRNA) called ANTICODON. The tRNA then carries amino acids corresponding to what is read in the codon to the growing polypeptide chain.

White meat contains less syoglobin than red meat. Red meat contains more ( slow-twitch / fast-twitch) muscles than white meat do
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Slow-twitch

Explanation:

Red meat is rich in slow-twitch muscle fibers. The slow-twitch muscle fibers are rich in myoglobin and blood capillaries. They also have many large mitochondria to generate ATP by aerobic respiration.

These fibers are slow-twitch fibers as the ATPase in myosin head carries out the hydrolysis of ATP at a slower rate causing a slower contraction cycle.

Slow-twitch fibers appear red due to a large amount of myoglobin and a rich network of blood vessels. They are capable of prolonged contractions and are fatigue resistant.
