Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A river that is diverted to the irrigating farmland during a drought is an example of the human-caused disturbances to an ecosystem.

An ecosystem refers to a particular community within which the organisms exist and interact with each other. For example, fresh water ecosystem, desert ecosystem and forest ecosystem.

In the given situation, the river channel is disturbed by changing its flow direction. This is caused by the human activity, that changes the course of the river channel to the farmlands during a flood, so that the water can provide nutrient to the soil and prevent the soil from getting eroded.

Thus, by doing this, the river ecosystem gets affected, as a result of which the organisms existing in this ecosystem such as fishes are affected.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

The variable is independent because you are affecting it by changing it individually. It would be dependent if you changed one variable then the water was affected.

Anni [7]

Answer:

When organisms use urea, ammonia is generated during incubation, which makes the reaction of these media alkaline

Explanation:

Urea broth preparation:

Suspend 3.87 grams of the medium in 100 ml of distilled water without heating. When the powder dissolves, sterilize by filtration. Dispense quantities of 0.5 to 2 ml in small sterile tubes. Larger volumes may be used but the reactions will be slower. Do not sterilize in autoclave.

Do not boil the medium.

If no filter is available, the medium can be sterilized at 100-110 ° C for 10 minutes. If the medium is prepared and inoculated immediately, it provides good results without sterilization.

You are interested in studying a gene called CFTR because mutations in this gene in humans cause cystic fibrosis. You have made
Juliette [100K]

Answer: Both the mouse and human beings are encoding the proteins having similar functions.

Explanation:

The CFTR gene in the mouse and CFTR gene in the human beings encode proteins that perform similar function,this is so because if the results are same then it means that both mouse and human beings are encoding the protein that have similar function.

Option A is incorrect  because both humans and mouse are eukaryotes so they have introns and because of that even if the gene sequences are different they can still encode protein.

Option B is incorrect because  amino acid sequences can be similar inorder to have the similar function. If glutamic acid is replaced by aspartic acid, it won't have different function the function will remain same. So, identical amino acid sequences are not required. They can be similar too.
