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.

poizon [28]

Answer:

Natural selection

Explanation:

Sexual selection refers to the natural selection where the allele frequencies of a population are changed due to nonrandom mating between the individuals. Certain preferences for the mate by organisms result in sexual selection. It is mostly exhibited by females.

For example, peahen prefers the peacocks with elaborate tail features as their mate. The sexual selection also occurs when there is competition among the members of the same sex for a mate. This type of sexual selection is mostly exhibited by males and results in fighting and display.

Viefleur [7K]

Mendel wants to control the pollination of his pea plants because traits were not blended but they remain separate in the subsequent generations and also it is contrary to scientific opinion during his time

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Mainly, he wants to control because they were against the scientific opinion during his time.
  • Mendel takes a pea plant for his experiment because it can be easily observable.
  • Pea plant has seven traits and it can be pollinated by both the ways. One is self-pollination and the other is cross-pollination.
  • Mendel did not know about the genes but he speculates the factors of formation in the traits.
  • Mendel produces three laws, the law of dominance, the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment.
