Light waves are electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are waves which means that they are disturbances in a particular physical medium and result in oscillations, but they differ from all other waves because they consist of 2 waves oscillating perpendicular to each other.One of these waves is an oscillating magnetic field and the other is electric. 
Electromagnetic waves are characterized with their wavelength (lambda).
No all electromagnetic waves are visible to humans. The visible spectrum is the light that we can see with our eyes is only a small fraction from the whole spectrum.

A father is heterozygous for his type B blood (BO) and the mother has type O blood. What are the possible blood types of the bab
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

BO : OO

2 : 2

Explanation:

The results of mating between a man of blood group B heterozygous and a woman of blood group O produces children that will either have blood group B or O thus the probability of a child being either blood group B or O is 50%.

                B             O

O               BO          OO

O              BO           OO

Therefore genotype BO:OO

Phenotypes                2:2

What kind of solution causes crenation to happen to red blood cells?.
forsale [732]

Answer:

When red blood cells are in a hypertonic (higher concentration) solution, water flows out of the cell faster than it comes in. This results in crenation (shriveling) of the blood cell.

Paul is outside his grocery store protesting GMO foods not being labeled. What is a gmo food? Do you agree or disagree with Paul
Feliz [49]

Answer:

'Genetically modified organisms' are organisms which have been altered genetically using genetic engineering. Genetically modified foods should be labelled since they allow the user to understand and to give them the choice to either eat them or not.

Explanation:

<u>Genetic engineering</u> is the process by which GMO are produced. Genetic engineering allows changes to be made at genetic level where new sequences of genes are introduced or deleted though techniques like <em>selective breeding</em> or <em>mutation breeding</em>.

Certain advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified food are stated below:

  • In agriculture, crops are produced with better yield and taste.
  • The crops are also made resistant to pests and insects.
  • The seeds mature quickly.
  • Few examples of GM foods are Golden rice, Flavr savr tomatoes, Bt cotton, etc.

Disadvantages of GMO:

  • The new traits introduced can cause adverse <em>health reactions</em>.
  • If these resistant varieties cross breed they might result in production of 'super weeds'.

Foods must be labelled since there might be health issues caused by them. The nutritional value of the food might be changed which should be observed if it is to be given to infants.

ExtremeBDS [4]
<span>I believe that the pattern that would be expected is both 14 N and 15 N, this is because the DNA was replicated in a conservative manner. Semi conservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand, while Conservative replication would leave the two original template DNA strands together in a double helix and would produce a copy composed of two new strands containing all of the new DNA base pairs</span>
