Spoilage is basically a chemical reaction and chemical reactions take place more slowly if the environment is cooler. Moreover, the microbes are also not very active at lower temperatures and are unable to spoil the food.

Temperature control is the most efficient means of controlling microbial growth. At four degree Celsius, contaminating microbes growth will be hindered as they can not survive at this temperature.

Which statements are true about variations in the genetic code?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<u>C) They may provide selective advantages. </u>

<u>D) Slight differences in the genetic code may have significant results.</u>

Explanation:

The genetic code is universal, and present in most living beings . Generally, in most living organisms, the same codons are assigned to the same amino acids.  

DNA sequences make up genes that may have multiple variants, called alleles. DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids that form proteins.

Natural selection mainly acts on phenotypes, which are dependent on proteins and the organisms's environment.  Phenotypes conferring advantageous traits are favored by the selection process- these help groups of organisms evolve over time.

If these hydrocarbons were similar in size, which one would most likely be an alkyne?
OleMash [197]
The hydrocarbon which would most likely be an alkyne is COMPOUND W WHICH HAS A BOILING POINT OF -23.
This is because, among hydrocarbons, alkynes have the highest boiling points as a result of the triple bonds in their structures.
The boiling points of the other compounds are -103.7, -47 and -75; all these boiling points are lower than that of compound W.

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton

Next, the statements need to lead the observer to the next step to narrow the identification further:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton go to step 2

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton .go to step 3

Step 2 needs to consist of a pair of statements that will allow for the identification of the ladybug and the grasshopper:

2. a. body has a round shape .ladybug

b<span>. body has an elongated shape .grasshopper</span>
