Design your own scenario related to Bacteria or Viruses. Identify the independent and dependent variables.

timurjin [86]2 years ago

Answer:

An experiment where an antibiotic is tested against bacteria. The antibiotic can vary in its concentration for example, different amounts are applied to a sample of bacteria to see if it is affected by the action of the antibiotic and if so, in what concentration. So, the independent variable is the concentration of antibiotic while the dependent variable is the survival (or not) of the bacteria.

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable that represents a quantity that the scientist modifies in an experiment. A dependent variable represents a quantity whose value depends on how the independent variable is modified. This is the variable being studied and measured.

So, an example of this applied to bacteria or viruses could be:

<u>An experiment where an antibiotic is tested against bacteria</u>. The antibiotic can vary in its concentration, different amounts are applied to a sample of bacteria to see if it is affected by the action of the antibiotic and if so, in what concentration. So, the independent variable is the concentration of antibiotic while the dependent variable is the survival (or not) of the bacteria.

To complete the experiment, an antibiotic whose effect is already known can be used as a positive control. That is, it is already known to kill the bacteria. And as a negative control you can simply use water, which has no effect and is known not to kill the bacteria. In this way, we validate the results and make sure that there is not something else that is affecting the bacteria and that only the antibiotic being studied has an influence.

Gametic cells

Mutations on somatic cells cannot be passed down to offspring. Rather mutations born on gametic cells are what can be passed down. This is because gametes are the cells involved in fertilization to form zygote that develops into individual organisms.  

Explanation:

Mutation on gametic cells can occur within the time from the pre-gametic cell to the formation of a mature gamete such as sperm or egg.

Radiation from nuclear reactor accidents in Japan in April 2011, may damage the cell of the body both somatic and gametic. But only those in the gametic cells are passed down Children born to these Japanese people. Radiation causes double-stranded breaks in DNA that are hard to repair by repair mechanisms in the cell leading to mutations.

Mariulka [41]

Answer: The correct answer is B)  city hall:control center.

As per the question, model of cell looks like a city where different buildings correspond to different organelles ( membrane bound subcellular compartments like nucleus, golgi complex, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum).

Nucleus is a specialized membrane bound compartment that possesses the genetic material ( DNA) of the Eukaryotes ( like plants and animals).

Nucleus controls all the essential activities of the cell by regulating the expression of gene ( segment of DNA corresponding to a particular protein).

Therefore, in the model of cell, city hall;control center represents the nucleus of the cell.
