Answer:

In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species? are related and gradually change over time.

Briefly describe how the experiments of Avery, McCarthy, and MacLeod, building on the work of Griffith?
satela [25.4K]
The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment<span> was an experimental demonstration, reported in 1944 by </span>Oswald Avery<span>, </span>Colin MacLeod<span>, and </span>Maclyn McCarty<span>, that </span>DNA<span> is the substance that causes </span>bacterial transformation<span>, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was </span>proteins<span> that served the function of carrying genetic information (with the very word </span>protein<span> itself coined to indicate a belief that its function was </span>primary<span>).

It was the culmination of research in the 1930s and early 20th Century at the </span>Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research<span> to purify and characterize the "transforming principle" responsible for the transformation phenomenon first described in </span>Griffith's experiment<span> of 1928: killed </span>Streptococcus pneumoniae<span> of the </span>virulent<span> strain type III-S, when injected along with living but non-virulent type II-R pneumococci, resulted in a deadly infection of type III-S pneumococci.

In their paper "</span>Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III<span>", published in the February 1944 issue of the </span>Journal of Experimental Medicine<span>, Avery and his colleagues suggest that DNA, rather than protein as widely believed at the time, may be the hereditary material of bacteria, and could be analogous to </span>genes<span> and/or </span>viruses<span> in higher organisms.</span>

If the amount if algae in the ocean decreases by 50% the population of its consumers, goby fish will?
kherson [118]

Answer:

B. Decrease to its carrying capacity

Explanation:

Goby fish feed over algae for their survival and growth but if 50% of algae in the ocean decreases then the population of goby fish will decrease to its carrying capacity.

This is so because then the goby fish will be dependent on the left number of algae and maximum population size will depend on the rest 50% of food or algae available.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. Decrease to its carrying capacity".

22. A plant geneticist is investigating the inheritance of genes for bitter taste (Su) and explosive rind (e) in watermelon (Cit
mylen [45]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square (X^2):

X^2  =  \frac{(O - E)^2}{E} where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The X^2 is calculated thus:

Phenotype            O               E                             X^2

  1                          88            164.81            \frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81} = 35.80

  2                          62             54.94            \frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94} = 0.91

  3                           62             54.94              \frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94} = 0.91

  4                            81              18.31               \frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31} = 214.64

Total X^2 = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

X^2 tabulated  = 7.815

<em>The calculated </em>X^2<em> exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently.        </em>

Hi can ya'll pls do my homework lol I'm too lazy. I'll give you brainliest anddd be rlly happy?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Bet

Explanation:

1. The radiaton from the X-ray waves can be harmful

2. Lack of resources comes on part of both the provider as well as the patient as the provider may not necessarily have the appropriate equipment or updated technology yet to detect such conditions such as in smaller town hospitals or even the patient may not have the financial or transportation resources in order to obtain these. Another one but while being a little subjective I think could even be a lack of knowledge on both of our parts as well as healthcare providers don't always have all the answers to everything let alone the resources as mentioned earlier or even perhaps the patient doesn't know the earlier signs and symptoms of certain cancers and even more so some cancers are VERY difficult to detect, especially until its too late.

3. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white

4. An X-Ray will be neccesary, ultrasounds exam organs while x-rays examine bones
