Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) 100 ml Beaker

B) 250 ml Erlenmeyer Flask

C) 250 ml Graduated Cylinder

The answer is B). 250 ml Erlenmeyer Flask

Explanation:

Several types of glasswares are used in chemical laboratories for performing processes like mixing, heating and stirring of chemicals. In this question, Dr. Malani Mackey who works for a pharmaceutical company is trying to develop a cancer drug by making a mixture of L-histidine, polysorbate 80, and sucrose. This mixture is required to be heated and stirred (shaked) during the mixing. Hence, a glassware adapted for this purpose must be used.

- Erlenmeyer Flask, also known as Conical flask is a laboratory flask named after its conical base/bottom. This glassware is used to mix and even heat chemicals in the laboratory. Due to its cone-shaped body coupled with a long cylindrical neck, the contents in the Erlenmeyer Flask can be shaked or stirred without spilling them. This property gives the ERLENMEYER flask an edge over the BEAKER (has a large open mouth) when used for stirring purposes.

The Graduated cylinder is best suited for making precise measurements of liquid chemicals, hence, it is not an appropriate glassware for heating and stirring.

love history [14]

Geographical isolation (vicariance)  is the main reason for the evolution of either side mouse into new species.

What is geographical isolation?

Two populations of the same species are geographically separated by a barrier, they will eventually become genetically distinct from one another. Even when they are exposed to the same kinds of environmental selection forces and are living in the same region, two populations of the same species can yet become genetically distinct from one another.

A new river cuts through a land mass, separating populations of mice on either side. these mice then evolve into new species on the two sides of the land mass, the separation of a group of organisms by a geographic barrier, resulting in the differentiation of the original group into new varieties or species.

Hence, vicariance is a kind of evolution caused by geographical isolation.

To learn more about the geographical isolation and vicariance the link is given below:

zimovet [89]
The correct answer is 'Active Transport'. when the concentration of particles is higher inside the cell and yet for proper functioning we need more ions, the ions are received by the cell by the means of active transport, in which dissolved substances are moved by the help of carrier proteins with the energy released from respiration.

A genotype is the collection of all the genes occurring in members of a species.
lakkis [162]

A genotype is the genetic makeup if an organism. So let's say we have the freckles gene with freckles (F) being dominant and no freckles (f) being recessive. Let's also say Bob is heterozygous so his genotype for the freckles gene would be Ff. If he was homozygous dominant, he would have the genotype FF and if he was homozygous recessive, he would have the genotype ff.
