Answer:

D. Agronomist

Explanation:

Agronomists are professionals that study how to make soils more productive (in terms of food) around the world. Soil pH is an index that calculates the acidity/alkalinity of the soil, which is indicated on a 14-point scale (pH equal to 7 = neutral; pH below 7 = acidic,  pH higher than 7 = alkaline). In this regard, it is well known that the pH of the soils drastically affects plant development, and thereby a proper soil pH is fundamental to ensure optimal plant growth (required for nutrient intake). For this purpose, agronomists are in charge of studying and researching the pH of the soils in order to increase crop yields. Nowadays, the pH of the soils can be easily measured by digital soil pH pocket testers that utilize a pH electrode in order to calculate the pH value.

denpristay [2]
<h3>Question from alternative source</h3>

Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?

  • silent
  • missense
  • nonsense
  • deletion

Answer:

Nonsense

Explanation:

Nonsense mutations describe mutations that produce a premature stop codon. The stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. A way in which this could arise is, for example, if there was a substution of a nucleotide in the mRNA codon UAC (which codes for the amino acid Tyrosine) to the nucleotide UAG (which codes for a stop codon).

The translation machinery would reach this codon, which signals that translation should be terminated. This would mean that the mRNA would be released, and a truncated (shortened) version of the amino acid would be produced. This is likely to be non-functional, and may even be marked for destruction by the cell.

Explain how the reproductive strategies of mosquitoes and elephants help them overcome the natural threats of their environments
Gnoma [55]

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.
