It has meanwhile been shown that the most sensitive cells are those that areundifferentiated, well nourished, dividing quickly and highly active metabolically. Amongst the body cells, the most sensitive are spermatogoniaand erythroblasts, epidermal stem cells, gastrointestinal stem cells.

A teacher gave the lab group shown below an “unsafe practice” warning. What is most likely the basis for the teacher’s warning?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

It is "The opening of flask is pointed in an unsafe direction"

Explanation:

The students were there in the lab to perform practical without obeying the safety rules. The most  reasonable basis for teacher's warning here, in this case, is the flask which is pointed in an unsafe  direction. It is not specified whether the flask is containing any chemical or not but even if it is empty, it  might just fall and break and create injury to anyone present in the lab because, the students are also not  wearing proper laboratory wear in accordance to the safety rules which include lab coats, gloves,  eyewear, etc. Also, some Students have not tied their hair and more importantly the flasks carrying  liquids are not labeled. All of these things might end up in a critical situation for which the teacher warned  students about it all.

Eye color in most mammals is dependent on the number of inherited pigment genes (melanin) that are additive in their effects. If
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Hazel - 1/4 or 25%

Green - 1/2 or 50%

Blue - 1/4 or 25%

Explanation:

First, let us carry out the cross between AaBB and Aabb using a Punnet's square. The result is as below:

AABb - 4/16

AaBb - 8/16

aaBb - 4/16

(See the Punnet's square analysis in the attached image).

<em>AABb genotype has 3 pigments, hence, would be hazel.</em>

<em>AaBb genotype has 2 pigments, hence, would be green.</em>

<em>aaBb has one pigment, hence, would be blue.</em>

Expected progeny:

<em>Hazel - 1/4 or 25%</em>

<em>Green - 1/2 or 50%</em>

<em>Blue - 1/4 or 25%</em>

DNA polymerases are capable of editing and error correction, whereas the capacity for error correction in RNA polymerases appear
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

DNA polymerase replicates the DNA supplied to all new cells produced while RNA polymerase drives DNA copy RNA synthesis. Unless corrected, error in DNA replication could result in the transmission of the error DNA to all next-generation cells.

Protein synthesis error will cause faulty copies of RNA and degraded proteins. To order to ensure the transfer of key genetic information to future generations of cells, failure to DNA replication must be corrected.

When CFCs are exposed to high levels of UV radiation, what occurs? A. The compound breaks down into nitric oxide and ozone. B. A
GaryK [48]

Answer:

C. A chlorine breaks off and forms a free radical

Explanation:

When CFCs are exposed to high levels of UV radiation in the atmosphere, the CFC molecule breaks into chlorine and forms free radicals.

These free chlorine radicals then reacts with ozone molecules and breaks the ozone atom (O3) to form chlorine monoxide and oxygen (O2) molecule.

CFCs are main cause of ozone depletion in the atmosphere.

Hence, the correct option is "C".

How might retaining too much heat be a disadvantage to an organism?
finlep [7]
One disadvantage of having a large surface area to volume ratio is the heat loss. An organism that has larger surface area has high rate heat gain and heat loss. Therefore they need to eat or acquire nutrients faster in order to sustain life.
