While eating a piece of fruit, a group of scientists noticed that some had fruit that was spoiled while others didn't. One scien

tist said they left their fruit on the counter, another left theirs in the fridge, and one left theirs in the freezer. They decided to conduct an experiment to determine where fruit should be stored so it stays fresh longer. The fruit of choice was granny smith apples that were bought at the same time and were the same size. One apple was left on the counter, another in the fridge, one in the freezer, one was left outside on a porch, and a final apple was left in the microwave. All remained in their locations for one week and they tested which apple was freshest. In this experiment, what is the independent variable? A. Type of apple B. Where the apples were left C. Amount of time apples were left out D. Freshness of apple

Answer:

"where the apples were left"

Explanation:

In the scenario being described the independent variable would be "where the apples were left". This is because where the apple was left does not depend on any other factor for the results to be affected. The freshness of the apple would be the dependent variable because it depends on where the apple was left and for how long, while the amount of time is the controlled variable in this scenario because it remains constant for all groups and was chosen by the scientists.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Opsins are proteins that are found in the light-sensing cells in the human eye. Different opsin proteins are sensitive to differ
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.

In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.

Why do melting ice caps make Earth warmer?
frozen [14]

Why do melting ice caps make Earth warmer?

The correct answer is C. Albedo decreases.

When the albedo is lower, more radiation from the Sun gets absorbed by the planet resulting in rise of temperature. When the snow covered area warms up and melts, the albedo goes down and more sunlight is absorbed in that area and the temperatures increase.

Answer:
1. Substitution
2. Insertion and deletion
3. Amino acids can have more than one codon that signals for it. Due to this, some substitutions don’t affect the protein at all.

Explanation:
1. Substitution sometimes isn’t as impactful. It can result in the same amino acid to be signaled as the original one since amino acids can have more than one codon signaling for it.
2. Insertion and deletion are also known as frameshift mutations. This is because they shift the codon spots by adding or deleting a nucleotide.
