Paper chromatography is a technique used to separate molecules based upon their size and solubility in a particular solvent. If

pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, which of the following results is most likely?
a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.
b. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into two bands, one that appears blue and one that appears red.
c. Paper chromatography would produce a single band of pigment that is characteristic of that particular plant.
d. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into two bands that appear green.

Answer:

a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.

Explanation:

The primary or main pigment in plants is the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll gives plants their characteristics green colour and helps in the absorption of light during photosynthesis.

Other pigments in plants include carotenoid with its characteristic yellow, red or orange colour; anthocyanin with its re/blue colour and betalains with its red/yellow colour.

<em>Hence, if pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, one would expect the pigments to be separated into several colour bands ranging from green to yellow/orange.</em>

The correct option is a.

g Choose the correct answer from the list. Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA sequences are called CONSENSUS. Unlike DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis requires TRANSCRIPTION. PROMOTERS direct RNA polymerase to the initiation site. RNA synthesis complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase perform TRANSLATION. RNA synthesis (tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA) takes place in complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase are called TRANSCRIPTION BUBBLES. The expression of beta-galactosidase requires the induction of operons by addition of REPRESSORS.

What could you do to determine whether the outliers in model 2 are authentic measurements?
Over [174]
<span>To determine if a measurement is authentic, you can check whether the measurement makes sense in the context of whatever is being measured. If a measurement is physically impossible, then it is not authentic. If a measurement is inconsistent or far off from multiple repeated measurements of the same kind, then it is not likely to be authentic, so you could test the authenticity by repeating the measurements.</span>
