Answer:

To "read" a set of chromosomes, scientists use three key features to identify their similarities and differences:

Size. This is the easiest way to tell chromosomes apart.

Banding pattern. The size and location of Giemsa bands make each chromosome unique.

Centromere position. Centromeres appear as a constriction.

Can anyone please help?

1. Suzie's hypothesis (i.e. prediction of results) is that ferns which are placed in white light will grow to a taller height after two weeks than ferns which are placed in other coloured light or in a closet.

2. Her independent variable (the thing she changes to produce a result) is the kind of light that she places each plant in.

3. The dependent variable (the thing she measures) is the height of the plants after two weeks.

4. I would say her control group would be the plant placed in the closet, because every other group is exposed to some form of light.

5. I would say that Suzie has 4 experimental groups: white, red, blue, and green light.

6. The constant variables were the amount of water each plant was given, the initial height of the plants, the age of the plants, the species of fern, and what she planted the ferns in.

7. To determine how each fern did, Suzie could measure the height in addition to noting the appearance of all the plants. E.g. did any look paler than the others?

Why are the EPA's water quality standards useful?

professor190 [17]

It can help determine the quelity and safety of water. This can be a good deciding factor of choosing between tap vs bottled water. If the rating is too bad you should choose to use bottled water

Explain the connection between earths magnetic field and iron

german

Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.The Earth's magnetic field is somewhat caused by the composition of the earth's core which is rich in iron minerals. There is a solid inner core that is made of iron which makes up to 2/3 of the moon's size. The charged metal of the iron produces electric currents, consequently resulting to Earth's magnetic field.

How can you test the idea that solar energy is required for the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH?

Answer:

In addition to biology, evidence drawn from many different disciplines, including chemistry, geology, and mathematics, supports models of the origin of life on Earth. In order to determine when the first forms of life likely formed, the rate of radioactive decay can be used to determine the age of the oldest rocks (see optional problems C and D, below) exposed on Earth’s surface. These are found to be approximately 3.5 billion years old. The age of rocks can be correlated to fossils of the earliest forms of life. A. The graph compares times of divergence from the last common ancestor based on the fossil record with a "molecular time" constructed by comparing sequences of conserved proteins to determine a mutation rate (after Hedges and Kumar, Trends in Genetics, 2003). Explain how such a molecular clock could be refined to infer time or the evolution of prokaryotes. B. Using a molecular clock constructed from 32 conserved proteins, Hedges and colleagues (Battistuzzi et al., BMC Evol. Biol. 2004) estimated the times during which key biological processes evolved. A diagram based on their work is shown. Connect the time of the origin of life inferred from this diagram with the age of the oldest fossil stromatolites and the age of the oldest exposed rock to show how evidence from different scientific disciplines provides support for the concept of evolution. Evaluate the legitimacy of claims drawn from these different disciplines (biology, geology, and mathematics) regarding the origin of life on Earth. The oldest known rocks are exposed at three locations: Greenland, Australia, and Swaziland. The following application of mathematical methods provides essential evidence of the minimum age of Earth.
