In a lab about the activity series, a solution of copper(II)chloride is placed in a test tube with zinc metal. If zinc is higher

up on the activity series, it will produce a reaction and replace the copper. Bits of copper are seen in the bottom of the test tube. A good conclusion would be? A) Zinc is lower on the activity series because there is no evidence of a reaction. B) Zinc is higher on the activity series because there is no evidence of a reaction. C) Zinc is lower on the activity series because there is clear evidence of a reaction. D) Zinc is higher on the activity series because there is clear evidence of a reaction.

Answer:

Option D, Zinc is higher on the activity series because there is clear evidence of a reaction.

Explanation:

It is very clear that a metal which is higher in activity will replace a metal having lower activity.  

Since, Zinc has higher activity than copper, it is very sure that it in a copper chloride solution it will replace copper and produce zinc chloride solution leaving behind copper as residue.  

Residues of copper is a clear evidence of reaction  

The chemical equation for this reaction would be -

CuCl_2 + 2Zn^+ -----> 2ZnCl + Cu^{2+}

Hence, option D is correct

What happens to mRNA after it completes transcription?
Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is "C."

mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid.  The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.

After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.

The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.

Human mutations may increase resistance to some infectious diseases. Humans which carry the mutant gene, the "sickle cell allele
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1 - Malaria

2- Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis

Explanation:

In case of malaria, the causal microorganism is Plasmodium falciparum, which target red blood cells of host. In humans who have defective sickle cell allele, have abnomral shaped red blood cells. So microorganism does not able to attach to abnormal shaped RBCs thus humans having sickle cell allele are more resistant to death caused by malaria.

In cystic fibrosis, mutation on that gene which encodes a protein known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

Normally Salmonella typhi (bacteria responsible for typhoid fever) enters into intestinal cells by attaching with CFTR receptor. Carriers of cystic fibrosis mutant gene, have abnormal CFTR thus reduced rate of entry of bacteria into carriers.

Normally Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bacteria responsible for tuberculosis) adds sulfate in its cell walls. In carriers of cystic fibrosis, arylsulfatase B activity is reduced which incorporates sulfate. Thus reduced arylsulfatase activity makes bacteria unable to add sulfate in its cell walls thus decreases their virulence to carriers of cystic fibrosis.
