Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.
An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:
- <em><u>Control</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
- <em><u>Treatment</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> receives the treatment;
For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the <u>others</u> are <u>treatment group</u>.
The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:
- <em><u>Independent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the cause;
- <em><u>Dependent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the effect;
For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, <u>dosage</u> of BPA is the <u>independent</u> variable and <em>time</em> is the <em>dependent</em> variable.
Answer:
The rate of activity of an enzyme might change as pH changes
Explanation:
Enzymes are organic catalysts that controls the rate of a specific chemical reaction.
These materials combines substrates in order to lower the activation energy which might serves as a barrier to chemical action.
- Enzymes have specific reactions which they control.
- Temperature and PH conditions control the rate at which enzymes work.
- They are not all produced from the building block of carbohydrates.
Explanation:
The inbreeding process, are blood crossings between relatives who have a common ancestor. Inbreeding leads to an increase in the frequency of homozygous genotypes and a decrease in the frequency of heterozygotes. We may also note that although changes in genotypic frequencies occur, no changes in allelic frequencies are observed over successive generations of self-fertilization. The main consequence of 2 individuals sharing one or more common ancestors is that they may carry replicas (identical copies) of one or more genes present in these ancestors. And if these individuals mate, they can pass on such replicas to their offspring, generating self-sibling offspring, that is, with two identical copies of the same gene that was present in these common ancestors.
Bacteria: are single-celled microscopic organisms that are characterized by the presence of incipient nucleus and few membrane-less cell organelles.
Fungi: are eukaryotes that are characterized by the presence of chitin in the cell wall.
Cell Type: All bacteria are prokaryotes. All fungi are eukaryotes.
