A graph with a calibration curve, linear regression and extrapolation was drawn up from your lab results. What were the two type

s of data that were being compared on the graph? (In other words what was on the X and Y axis) What does this graph tell you about the water sample you collected?

Answer:

X is the concentration of the substance being measured and Y is the response from the instrument that is being used to measure

Explanation:

A calibration curve is the plot of known concentration of substances where x is the increasing known concentration and Y is the response, typically "absorption" taken from the instrument that is used for measuring. This curve is then used to find out the concentration of the unknown substance by using it's absorbance and comparing it with the calibration curve. For example:

Concentrations and absorbance readings are as follows

0.5mg/mL=10 nm

1.0mg/mL=15nm

1.5mg/mL=20nm

2.0mg/mL=25nm

This data is plotted on a calibration curve. Next we measure the unknown substance the absorption is 20nm. We can suggest that the concentration is 1.5 mg/mL. If there are readings that fall inbetwen values then the formulat to calculate the right concentration would be y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Linear regression uses the modification of the slope formula y= a + bx to best see how the data of the water samples would fit on the slope of the calibration curve. X is the independent variable , b is the slope of the line and a is the y-intercept.

Extrapolation would be the action of calculating data that are outside the calibration curve,  assuming the trend would continue.

kow [346]

Answer:

G1 checkpoint

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of the series of activities that occurs from the replication of DNA to the actual division of the cell in an organism's cell. However, the cell has been internally programmed to ensure that all conditions are in place/favorable before allowing progression into the next stage of the cell cycle. This internally controlled mechanism ia called CHECKPOINTS. This checkpoint occurs at three main stages of the cell cycle;

after G1 phase, G2 phase and during M phase.

In the G1 checkpoint, the cell ensures that the cell is in the right shape to proceed into the Synthesis phase of the cell cycle where it will double it's DNA. The checkpoint checks majorly for damage or change to the DNA before replicating it. If any error is found, that cell is halted and prevented from proceeding to the S-phase of the cell cycle.

This is the case in the question, the cell has been halted and prevented from entering the S-phase. Hence, its DNA is still the same as it started. However, the DNA of the cells surrounding it has been doubled as they have undergone DNA replication during S-phase.
