Answer:
Other factors could affect the reason the seed didn't germinate because under suitable conditions depending on the variety it should germinate within 5 to 10 days from planting. However, the most likely reason it didn't germinate must be the Temperature.
Explanation:
From the question above, the farmer lives in Minnesota and she planted between March and May, meaning the temperature was way cold which is not suitable for tomato. One other valuable point was she planting outdoor which could also affect the performance of the tomato seedlings. Planting in early spring doesn't necessarily mean bad as some seeds might thrive under conditions explained above. For tomato, depending on temperature because too high temperatures could also affect the viability of the seeds. In Minnesota in early spring, it would have been better if she planted indoors to raise the temperature before transplanting as a balanced night temperature is also important for the seed viability.
Some other factors to be considered for seeds to germinate:
1. Water
2. Type of the soil
3. Seed depth in the soil
4. Nature of seed coat
5. Oxygen
6. Light
Answer:
- Autotrophs are usually defined as those that can prepare their own food by carrying out the process of photosynthesis, but heterotrophs cannot prepare their own food and are directly dependent on the autotrophs for food. Examples of autotrophs are plants and trees, and examples of heterotrophs are animals and human beings.
- Autotrophs are the lowest organisms in the trophic level, where they produce the food for the consumers (heterotrophs). On the other hand, the heterotrophs lie above the autotrophs and when they consume their food, they obtain only 10% of the energy, and the remaining energy is released into the environment.
- Autotrophs can make organic substances by the use of inorganic molecules, but heterotrophs cannot make these substances. They are only dependent on the molecules prepared by these autotrophs.
Thus, these are three of the facts regarding autotrophs and heterotrophs existing on earth that are true.
DNA is a double-stranded molecule made out of 4 different nucleotides (Adenosine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Guanine) bonded together by different chemical bonds. All living things possess the same 4 nucleotides in their DNA molecules, which makes DNA the universal way of transmitting genetic information. The 4 nucleotides are combined in pairs and together they make the DNA sequence.
Different parts of this sequence that can be translated into proteins are called genes.
The DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell and it is organized in specific structures called chromosomes. Each species has a different number of these chromosomes, horses have 64 and humans have 46 of them or 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. So, there are two sets of chromosomes, each inherited from a single parent. The reproductive cells only contain 23 chromosomes (half of the pairs). When two reproductive cells( an egg cell and a sperm cell) are fused in the process of fertilization they make a zygote ( a cell that has 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs of chromosomes).
So, you have one set of chromosomes that you have inherited from your father and one set of chromosomes that you have inherited from your mother.
The genes in the DNA that you have inherited from your parents determine all of your traits (eye color, height, the shape of your face etc.).
Genes can sometimes have different forms called alleles. Some alleles can be dominant, meaning that they are always expressed no matter what allele is on the other homologous gene, or they can be recessive and can only be expressed when you have two copies of them (on both sets of chromosomes, from both parents).
Answer:
The correct answer is 8 g.
Explanation:
During a physical change, the identity of the substance <u>does not change, because no chemical reaction occurs</u>. So, after the change, the amount of substance is still the same. Examples of physical changes are changes in the state of matter (solid-liquid-gas). If 8 grams of ice (water in the solid-state) are melted, after the melting process we will have 8 grams of water in the liquid-state, but still 8 grams of water.
Answer:
Promoter 2
Explanation:
Promoter 2 is the best choice because the resistance gene will only be expressed in the leaves of the corn plant. Promoter 3 only expresses genes in the corn roots, so the toxin would not be available in the leaves for the pest to eat. Promoters 1 and 4 would express the resistance gene in the leaves of the corn plant, but the toxins would be expressed in the corn cobs as well, which may then be fed to livestock.
