Answer:

One way to test for pH is by using litmus (pronounced "LITT- muss") paper. It can be purchased at the drug store, at places where they sell swimming pool supplies, or at pet stores where they have aquarium supplies.

Blue litmus paper tests for acids, and it turns various shades of red when dipped into acidic liquid.

Red litmus paper tests for alkalis (bases). It turns various shades of blue when dipped into alkaline liquid.

Remember, we asked each of you to bring four liquids from home so that we can test them. You have lots of good stuff in little bottles and jars.

Make a heading on your paper by putting the word "ACID" on the top at the left, and the word "ALKALI" on the top to the right of the middle, so you can make two lists.

Take off the lids, and do your testing, by dipping a small piece of blue litmus paper into a jar, then writing the name of the liquid under the category into which it belongs. If the blue litmus paper turns red, that means your liquid is acid. If nothing happens, test it with the red litmus paper. If it turns blue, write the name of your liquid in the

"alkali" column.

Surely you've noticed that some acids made the paper redder than others. The dark red means the acid in that liquid is stronger than that in the liquids that turned the blue paper a light color of red. Same with the paper used for testing alkalis--the dark blue is more alkali than the light blue. You can group your liquids again, in the same columns, but this time, putting the stronger ones first on the lists.

Now we'll have a little cooking lesson. Cream of tomato soup is fun to make, and a little science is necessary to make it properly.

Cook one can of whole or diced tomatoes in a large pot until it has boiled a few minutes. Add a little salt, and if you want, a small amount of minced onion.

Of course, to have "cream" of tomato soup, you need to put in some milk.

WAIT! STOP! If you put milk into the tomatoes, the milk will curdle, and be awful. Why do you think that is?

Tomato is acid. Milk is not. They can't be mixed just like that. What do we do, then, to make "cream" of tomato soup? Science has provided us with an answer to this problem.

Baking soda is alkali. Add one teaspoon of baking soda to the tomatoes. Watch it foam! Zowie! Something is happening here! After it cooks awhile, the foam will go away, and now, you can add the milk.

It will not curdle because you neutralized the acid in the tomatoes by adding baking soda. And the soup is lovely, besides!

When acidic solution is placed on litmus paper, the blue litmus will turn red while the red litmus will stay red. Alkalis turn red litmus blue while the blue litmus stays blue. Distilled water is neutral and will leave the litmus colour unchanged

Those mutated genes are most commonly recessive. Females have two X chromosomes so they can have a chromosome with the mutated gene and one with the healthy gene. The healthy gene is dominant so the disease won't manifest, and the woman is only a carrier. Males have only one X chromosome and an Y chromosome. If they have the mutated gene on the X chromosome they won't have another X chromosome with the healthy gene.

To summarize, men can't be carriers and they only need one copy of the mutated X-linked gene while women need two copies of the mutated gene.

Decide if the following statements best describe map-based genome sequencing, best describe whole-genome shotgun sequencing, or
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1. Map-based genome sequencing: a; c; f; g

2. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing: b

3. Both sequencing methods: d; e

Explanation:

Map-based genome sequencing is a method that makes use of a reference genome sequence in order to determine the relative position of the DNA fragments before they are sequenced. This method is useful to determine the position of repetitive DNA fragments (for example, duplicated genes, repetitive non-coding regions, etc.) and Transposable Elements. Therefore, map-based genome sequencing is a suitable approach for large genomes (which are usually composed of repetitive sequences). On the other hand, in whole-genome shotgun sequencing, DNA sequences are obtained before the correct order of these DNA fragments is known. In this method, the genome is fragmented randomly into small DNA sequences (between 100 and 1000 base pairs), which are subsequently sequenced through the chain-termination sequencing approach (i.e., Sanger sequencing) and finally ordered by using bioinformatic tools that assemble overlapping reads.

Liula [17]
Because of the evaporated particles that mix with the air molecules and then our sense of smell tells us what's cooking.
