Define groundwater, and list some anthropogenic (human) sources of groundwater pollution. Why do many scientists consider ground

water pollution a greater problem than surface water pollution

Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C) are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases

B) degrade foreign DNA that enters a bacterium.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are the proteins that cut the DNA at a specific sequence.

<u>Restriction enzymes are also known as restriction endonuclease produced by bacteria that recognizes a specific sequence on DNA and split it by catalyzing the hydrolysis or addition of water molecule. </u>So, Restriction enzymes are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases.

The biological role of restriction enzymes is to restrict the entry of foreign DNA into the bacterium. <u>Restriction enzymes have the ability to restrict the number of bacteriophage strains that affect bacteria.</u>

Hence, the correct options are "C and B"

Rufina [12.5K]
The commence is off base with regards to the enthusiasm for creating fake blood. The intrigue is on the grounds that the timeframe of realistic usability of put away blood is extremely constrained. The other intrigue is concerning transfusion responses related with red platelet antigens that can bring about lethal responses and cause delays in finding good blood that hazard understanding lives. At present the rate of securing HIV disease through blood transfusions has been computed to associate with one case for every a million or two million transfusions. That viewpoint has been tackled with respect to testing however alternate issues still remain and they persuade the proceeded with look for simulated blood. Other developing infections like Zika and other obscure infections additionally makes a requirement for such research.

6. Delete any base (between the READING FRAME, excluding the start and stop codons) and show the change in the amino acid sequen
kati45 [8]
This is the DNA. I'm going to only use the upper strand to demonstrate what this strand would code for before and after a single bp deletion (so write it as mRNA). I will also write it how it's easier to see this which is to split them up into the 3 base codon system. Note that you don't need to know the amino acid code - you use a table to find these.

ORIGINAL (mRNA on top, Amino Acid (AA) on bottom:

5'-AGC GGG AUG AGC GCA UGU GGC GCA UAA CUG-3'
    SER  GLY  MET SER ALA  CYS GLY ALA  STOP LEU 

Note that the protein would stop being made at the stop codon and the LEU wouldn't matter at the end...

Now, I will remove one bp...(I bolded it up top). Rewrite the mRNA and find the corresponding AA...

NEW
5'-AGC GGG AUG GCG CAU GTG GCG CAU AAC UG-3'
   SER  GLY  MET  ALA  HIS   VAL  ALA   HIS  ASN .....

Completely different amino acid sequence after the methionine (MET). The stop codon is gone...the protein would continue being translated until it reaches another stop codon...so not what was supposed to be made!

Franklin was performing an experiment by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. He measured the mass of his reactant
Naddik [55]

Answer:

B) an error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products.

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

A) no error occurred, some of the products are always lost as heat.

B) an error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products.

C) an error occurred, the products should weigh more than the reactants.

D) no error occurred, water is not weighed when determining the weight of the products.

Solution

The basis to answer this question is the law of conservation of mass.

Any chemical reaction satisfies the law of conservation of mass: mass cannot be either created nor destroyed, so, always, the mass of the reactants equal the mass of the products.

Thus, since he measured the mass of his reactant materials to be 35g and he reported that his products weighed 32g, his data are in clear contradiction of the law of conservation of mass. So, there is an error in his results: the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products.
