Answer:
This question is asking to formulate a hypothesis for the experiment in the question. A hypothesis is:
IF natural compost is used instead of artificial fertilizer, THEN the tomato plants will grow faster and taller than when artificial fertilizer was used.
Explanation:
In an experiment, a hypothesis is formulated to provide a possible explanation or solution to an observed problem or question. The hypothesis must be testable or falsifiable via an experimentation.
In this experiment involving a biology student who is trying to find out if using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his previously used artificial fertilizer. A possible hypothesis for this experiment goes thus:
IF natural compost is used instead of artificial fertilizer, THEN the tomato plants will grow faster and taller than when artificial fertilizer was used.
Answer:
The correct answer is A and D
Explanation:
According to Russell's conception that lies in natural proton gradients. He states that Four billion years ago, alkaline fluids bubbled to produce mildly acidic oceans (As CO2 levels were about a thousand times higher, and it reacts with H2O to form carbonic acid, rendering the oceans mildly acidic). Acidity is just a measure of proton concentration, higher in the oceans than in vent fluids. This difference has given rise to a natural proton gradient across the vent membranes that had the same polarity (outside positive) which is similar to the electrochemical potential as modern cells have. This might be the reason that last universal common ancestors of all the three domains have evolved proton pumps.
The correct answer is 9:3:3:1
When two homozygotes for two traits cross, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1 ( unless other factors like epistatic interaction change the inheritance model).
In our case, we have two simple traits of seed color and seed shape that follow the Mendelian model of inheritance.
In this dihybrid cross, we have
9/16 of the offspring expressing both dominant traits ( yellow and round seeds)
3/16 expressing one dominant and one recessive trait ( yellow and wrinkled)
3/16 expressing the other dominant and recessive trait (green and round)
1/16 expressing both recessive traits ( green and wrinkled)
The organs that are involved in the excretion of water from the body include:
1. Kidneys (Primary organ for water removal)
2. Skin
3. Lungs
The kidneys play a key role in maintaining the water balance of the body. The kidneys control the water levels in the body by conserve water when there is shortage, and they can expel excess water by diluting the urine.
The skin has water in it. This water gets lost to the atmosphere by the process of evaporation. This is independent of the process of sweating wherein the skin actively releases water in the form of sweat to cool the body.
Our breath has a lot of moisture in it. This moisture is present due to the evaporation process taking place within the lungs due to the heat of the body. Thus lungs also become a part of the water loss mechanism.
