Answer:

The different speed of the sound waves in water and in air.

Explanation:

Sound waves are defined as the mechanical waves that are resulted from the vibrations back and forth of the particles of the medium through which the sound is moving.

The speed of the sound is faster in water than in air. Sound travels much faster in water than in air. In air the speed of the sound waves is 343 meter per second while the speed of the sound waves in water is 1480 meters per second.

In the context, Jason who is swimming in his pool hears sound differently underwater and above the water because of the difference in the speed of the sound waves above the water and in water.

What would the result be if a drug that blocks the action of rna polymerase was introduced into a virus-infected organism?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is: viral replication would stop.

Explanation:

Drugs that block the action of RNA polymerase in viruses are called antivirals and are used to cure viral infections like Hepatitis and Herpes.

<u>Antivirals do not destroy the virus but rather mess with its development by inhibiting its replication</u>.

Viruses do not have the capacity to replicate or synthesize proteins by themselves, so they need a host that can "lend them" the structures needed to perform those processes. If the drug blocks the RNA polymerase, the virus won't be able to replicate itself.

The Manx cat is in the domestic cat group, and the bobcat is in the lynx group. Both have a trait in common: short, stubby tails
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: Both share common ancestry

Explanation:

Though both cats are of different groups, the presence of an ananatomical similarity - short, stubby tails - suggest strongly that they share a common ancestry i.e evolved from the same organism who had lived many years before, and possess short, stubby tails alongside other traits no longer shared by both bobcat and Manx cat
