How the Scientific Method Works
BY WILLIAM HARRIS
Pasteur's Experiment
The steps of Pasteur's experiment are outlined below:
First, Pasteur prepared a nutrient broth similar to the broth one would use in soup.
<span>Since a gene that acts as a pesticide is inserted into a corn, that corn is now safe from insects. This will happen because the corn will probably synthesise protein according to that inserted DNA sequence and that protein will serve as a repellent to the insects. However, the Red Queen's hypothesis in evolution explains that organisms must constantly adapt and evolve in order to survive. This refers to insects. If they could not eat genetically modified corn, they would extinct. So, they must adapt or evolve in order to survive. So, it is expected that insects that are resistant to this specific pesticide would develop through the time.</span>
Answer:
RER
Explanation:
The proteins and lipids, essential for building the cell membrane, are
manufactured by the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Answer:
None of these is true. (Ans e.)
Explanation:
C) Inhaled chemicals can irritate the throat or nose, damage the lungs, and enter through the lung to the bloodstream.
A) Skin is not impermeable in nature.
B) It is not safe to smoke around hazardous chemicals, as long as you wear gloves, because people can carry hazardous chemicals from cigarette smoke then releasing those compounds into non-smoking environments.
D) Alkaline can denature proteins, and they also break down fats in a process which is known as saponification. Burns from alkalines worse than burns from acids.
Answer:
The fraction of heterozygous individuals in the population is 32/100 that equals 0.32 which is the genotipic proportion for these endividuals.
Explanation:
According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the alleles. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous for allele p), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous for the allele q). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.
In the exposed example, the r-6 allelic frequency is 0,2. This means that if r-6=0.2, then the other allele frequency (R) is=0.8, and the sum of both the allelic frequencies equals one. This is:
p + q = 1
r-6 + R = 1
0.2 + 0.8 = 1
Then, the genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals RR is 0.8 ² = 0.64
The genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals r-6r-6 is 0.2² = 0.04
And the genotypic proportion for heterozygous individuals Rr-6 is 2xRxr-6 = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32
