27. In 1986, a meltdown of a nuclear reactor in the city of Chernobyl, in Ukraine, released highly radioactive chemicals into th

e atmosphere. As a result, people suffered various forms of cancer because of exposure to these radioactive chemicals. Cancerous cells divide much more often than noncancerous cells and form tumors in the body.
(A) The radioactive chemicals burned people’s skin, which increased cell division rates in the people who developed cancer.


(B)The radioactive chemicals polluted people’s food, which changed some people’s ability to digest proteins and caused cancer.


(C) The radioactive chemicals caused structural changes in people’s genes, which changed how proteins functioned in cell division.


(D) The radioactive chemicals polluted people’s drinking water, which caused cells to divide more quickly in the people’s bodies and form tumors.

1. Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snall populations? Explain why the same method would not be useful for counti
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :D

Which type of RNA carries a genetic code from DNA to the ribosome?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

(A). mRNA.

Explanation:

During protein synthesis, information present in DNA as triplet codons gets transferred to mRNA molecule, by the process of transcription. The mRNA than gets transported to the cytosol, where it associates with ribosomes.

Ribosomes are known as protein factories of the cells as they provide platform for translation. During translation, information present in mRNA is used to translate polypeptide chain or protein as each codon codes for a specific amino acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
