Many farmers and gardeners compost their plant and animal waste. The living material naturally decays in
compost bins, forming a dirt-like substance that's rich in nutrients. The next season, farmers use this
substance as a natural fertilizer for their crops.
A biology student has grown tomato plants for several years. Until now, he used an artificial fertilizer
formulated for tomato plants. This fertilizer caused his plants to grow faster and taller than they grew in
unfertilized soil. The student wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to
grow faster and taller than his artificial fertilizer. Explain independent and dependent variables

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Please find the explanation of independent and dependent variables below using the experiment in this question.

Explanation:

Independent variable is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in an experiment while the dependent variable is the variable being measured in the experiment.

According to this question, a biology student who has grown tomato plants for several years wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his artificial fertilizer, which he used previously.

In this case, the "natural compost" is the independent variable while the dependent variable is how tall and fast the tomato plant will grow. Hence, the tallness or fastness is the dependent variable.

Explanation:

Mutation is any alteration or change in the genetic sequence of a gene caused by mutagens (substances) or mistakes during replication of genetic sequences.

A mutation occurs in the gene from time to time, although, the cell has protocols in place to put them under control if they occur. However, when DNA or a gene is being copied and transferred to offsprings, there is bound for mistakes called MUTATION to occur.

The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In fruit flies, the recessive pr and cn mutations cause brown and bright-red eyes, respectively (wild-type flies have brick-red eyes). The double mutant pr cn combination has orange eyes. A female who has wild-type eyes is crossed to an orange-eyed male. Their progeny have the following distribution of eye colors:

wild-type8

brown241

bright-red239

orange12

500

The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines ?

Answer:

prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn

Explanation:

Progeny is the offspring or descendants of any animal, plant, human or a species.

In the context, it is given that the cn mutation and recessive pr in the fruit flies makes brown and bright red color eyes. And the double mutant of pr and cn combination makes orange eyes. An oragne eye males is crossed with a female having a wild type eyes. Now for this, the F1 mother of the progeny F2 which results from the cross of two flies, the genotypes is " prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn. "

You have adopted a gray mouse, which you know is a wild type phenotype. When crossed with a white mouse, your gray mouse has a first litter of 3 gray mice and 2 white mice. In the second litter, you observe 3 gray mice and 4 white mice. What is the probable genotype of your gray mouse

Answers

Assuming the white phenotype is recessive. white: gg
I think the gray mouse is Gg because the offspring were pretty equally distributed in terms of color. See the punnet square below.
g g
G| Gg Gg
g| gg gg

If the Gray phenotype is recessive, then gray: ww but only if white is Ww because its about 50% chance for both.

What is the medical term for the process or procedure that destroys or inhibits disease-causing microorganisms to prevent infection:

Answers

Answer: Sterilization.

Explanation:

Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.

Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote. A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).

Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.

Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:

Wet heat (in steam autoclave) Dry heat (in sterilization oven) Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)

Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:

Hydrogen peroxideChlorine dioxideOzone gasesEthylene oxidePropylene oxidePeracetic acid

What is the independent variable?

What is the dependent variable?

Answers

Answer:

the independent is the age of the tree and the dependent is the diameter

Explanation:

the diamter of the tree is based off of the age as we can see that it gets bigger the older the tree is

Answer: Independent variable: age of the tree (years), Dependent variable: tree diameter (mm)

The diameter of the tree is dependent on what age the tree is. As the tree gets older, the diameter increases. The dependent variable depends/relies on the value(s) of the independent variable.

*anatomy & physiology question*

if you are at 120X and the field diameter is 8.0 mm what is the field diameter if you go to 30X magnification?

Answers

Answer:

32 mm

Explanation:

The field of view is the total area visible through the microscope . The diameter of the field of view can be measured.

There is an inverse relationship between the magnification and the field diameter. As magnifications decreases, the field diameter increases by the same proportion, and as magnifications increases, the field diameter decreases by the same proportion.

The relationship between field diameter and magnification is:

magnification of A * field diameter of A = magnification of B * field diameter of B

120X * 8 mm = 30X * B

B = 120X / 30X * 8 mm

B = 32 mm = 32000 μm

The field diameter of 30X magnification is 32 mm (32000 μm)

B. A helicase enzyme unwinds the DNA molecule, then corresponding nucleotides are added to the separated original strand forming two separate semiconservative molecules

Explanation:

DNA Replication is an important phenomenon as far as cell division is concerned. It is the process whereby a DNA molecule doubles its content or forms two DNA molecules from one.

In the semi-conservative model of DNA replication, an enzyme called DNA helicase unwinds the double stranded DNA molecule into two single strands. The single strands are then used as template for DNA polymerase to synthesize another molecule of DNA. Hence, two separate DNA molecules comprising of one old strand and one new strand.

Answers

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

It has a huge impact on the environment

It is being emitted in large amounts

And if we cut our carbon emissions in half it would delay the risk of raising the global temperature of 1.5 degrees Celsius but half of it would still pumped into the atmosphere along with the carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere.

But it is a greenhouse gas because it helps trap the heat remaining in Earth's atmosphere which is why the Earth is warming.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

what are greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that affect the energy balance of the planet. The greenhouse effect is caused by them. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide, the most well-known greenhouse gases, can all be present in low concentrations in the environment.

The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat and warm the earth.

Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (all of which exist naturally) are the principal greenhouse gases, as are fluorinated gases (which are synthetic).

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere as a result of the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees, and other biological materials, as well as chemical processes (e.g., manufacture of cement). As part of the biological carbon cycle, carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants and released from the atmosphere.

hence, CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
