Answer:

When you ascend, water pressure decreases while the air in your lungs increases. Your lungs will overstretch and rupture. Asphyxiation is the deprivation of oxygen resulting in unconsciousness or death.

Explanation:

It usually happens to scuba drivers. Pressure changes will cause you injuries when you go down the water and then you go up. When you descend, water pressure increases while the air in your lungs decreases. When you ascend, water pressure decreases while the air in your lungs increases.

Claim: No tools to discover the impending Cell Theory.

Reasoning:
Schleiden and Schwann, as well as Virchow, are generally seen as the founders of the cell theory, due to their pioneering scientific work in the 1800s. The unified cell theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells.

Evidence: The cell theory has many complexities and is of importance due to its affect to nearly every aspect of biology, from our comprehension of life & death, managing diseases, cycles and etc. But early scientists had no tools to study cells. They didn't even know about them. It took the invention of the microscope to view them and to begin an understanding of cells.
(Two Dutch spectacle-makers and father-and-son team, Hans and Zacharias Janssen, create the first microscope.) Matthias Schleiden observed that all plants were made of cells from the microscope and Theodor Schwann observed that all animals were also made of cells. Rudolf Virchow observed that cells only come from other cells Virchow saw cells dividing and added that living cells arise only from other living cells. These ideas led to cell theory, which states that all organisms are made of cells, all life functions occur in cells, and all cells come from other cells.

The DNA segment that carries information for building one protein or polypeptide chain is called a(n) ________.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is a gene

Explanation:

The DNA segment that carries information for coding one protein or polypeptide is called a gene. According to one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis, each gene is responsible for making a single chain of the polypeptide.

Originally it was said that one gene codes for one enzyme but later it was found that some gene also codes for non-enzyme proteins and single polypeptide chains. So after this research, the theory was modified and one gene-one polypeptide theory came. Therefore the right answer is gene.
