Answer:
Advantages:
Low Level Irradiation kills bacteria and parasites.
The Nutrition value of of irradiated food is the same as regular food with less bacteria.
Irradiation makes fruits and vegetables riper and spoil slower.
Disadvantages:
Irradiation will increase cost of food.
The percentage of radiation as always being negative will also make
Irradiated food are not widely available yet.
Answer:
No, it is not a scientific theory.
Explanation:
- A scientific theory is a proposition that is made to explain the various phenomena that are occurring in nature and it is supported by experiments that have repeatability and well-analyzed results.
- Scientific theories are usually tested in experiments under controlled conditions and verified as well.
- In the given situation, the theory made by the observer is not being tested through any experimentation or quantification and therefore, it is just a hypothesis and not a scientific theory.
Genes in DNA or responsible for the traits an organism has. This is caused by Dominant and Recessive Traits. Remember that Genotypes are the genetic letters such as RR, Rr, and rr. Phenotype is physical traits.
Dominant Traits are more likely or always show in the offspring. The Dominant Genotype uses Capital letters such as RR.
Recessive Traits are less likely to show up. Their Genotype use lower case such as rr. Now genotypes of Rr have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. If the dominant trait was black fur and the recessive white fur, the offspring will be black fur because dominant traits overpower the other.
To understand how to know if an organism will have Dominant or Recessive Genes, you have to use something called a Punnet Square. Lets imagine 2 parents both have the genotype Rr. R is Black fur and r is white fur. As you can see from the chart, 3 of 4 boxes have Rr and 1 rr. Since there is a Dominant Trait with a Recessive, they will show a Dominant Phenotype, or Black fur. This has 3/4 chance and a 1/4 chance for white fur in the offspring.
