1. In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up - they don't in mitosis.
2. Also, crossing over and recombination occurs in prophase I of meiosis unlike in mitosis.
The correct answer is: A. How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?
While options B, C & D are not impossible to test, option A is the only question that can be tested using quantitative methods, such as statistical analysis. The question in option A states: "How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?". This question is easily testable using scientific investigation, because controlled or measured amounts of water can be added to corn, and the consequent growth rate of corn can be easily measured and recorded. However, the questions in options B, C & D cannot be precisely measured using quantitative tools, since they aim to measure qualitative (subjective) factors, such as: ethics, happiness and disappointment.
Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments. With more variation, it is more likely that some individuals in a population will possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment. Those individuals are more likely to survive to produce offspring bearing that allele.
To calculate the energy offered from food, multiply the number of grams of protein, carbohydrate, and fat by 4, 4, and 9, respectively.
Then add the results together.
Given: 500 grams of carbohydrates, 30 grams of protein, and 75 grams of fat in one day.
500 grams x 4 kcal/g = 2000 kcal
30 grams x 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
75 grams x 9 kcal/g = 675 kcal
= 2795 kcal
From this data, you can calculate the percentage of k calories each of the energy nutrients give to the total.
Solution:
2000/2795 * 100% = 72% from carbohydrates
120/2795 * 100% = 4% from protein
675/2795 * 100% = 24% from fat
Total: 100%
The organelle that maintains pressure against the cell wall, so that the plant cell keeps it shape, is
