Cells burn glucose molecules in a process called oxidation.
Answer:
b. average heterozygosity
Explanation:
From the available options:
a. nucleotide variability
b. average heterozygosity
c. average number of loci
d. geographic variability
Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.
The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.
Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.
Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.
When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.
<em>The correct option is b.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
Discovery of vaccine for smallpox, viruses and actual organisms that cause many diseases lead to the development of Germ Theory.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Theory was the 'predominant theory' of 'disease transmission' before germ theory but it is no longer accepted as a 'scientific theory' of diseases.
- 'Formal and reliable experiments' on germs and diseases relationship were 'conducted by Louis Pasteur'.
- He showed that growth of microorganisms was not a spontaneous generation and his pasteurization experiment provided key pieces of evidence that supported germ theory.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Beryllium is used in alloys with copper or nickel to make gyroscopes, springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools. Mixing beryllium with these metals increases their electrical and thermal conductivity. Other beryllium alloys are used as structural materials for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and communication satellites. Beryllium is also used in nuclear reactors as a reflector or moderator of neutrons.
