Answer: Confirmation bias

Explanation:

The confirmation bias is the ability or tendency of the person to favor, interpret and believe a information based on the previous knowledge and personal believes or based on the assumptions. This is a kind of cognitive bias.

The given situation is an example of confirmation bias this is because of the fact that it is based on presumption rather than understanding based on the facts. Boris being unfamiliar with the concepts of the theory is not able to believe that the theory is true.

Coral Bleaching is hazardous to fish because It leaves fish and corals vulnerable to deseases.And the average temperature of tropical oceans increases by 0.1 degrees C, over the past century.Fish are affected because, most fish in the ocean live in coral reffs, which end up dying, and leaving its habitant fish without a home.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The answer is B. Some organic molecules, including amino acids, could have been produced from chemical reactions on early Earth.

Explanation:

Miller-Urey Experiment:

The Miller-Urey experiment was an attempt to explain the origin of life on Earth. Miller-Urey simulated the primordial soup i.e. the environment of primitive Earth to prove the spontaneous generation of organic molecules. The conditions they introduced included:

  1. A methane-ammonia-hydrogen and water mixture that exactly simulated the primordial soup.
  2. A spark of 70,000 volts that simulated lightening.
  3. A temperature of 800 degree Celsius.

Observations:

  • After running for 18 days, the final solution was examined for presence of organic molecules.
  • Miller-Urey observed that most of the methane and ammonia had been consumed and the mixture contained carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
  • The solution further contained 25 amino acids (mainly, glycine, alanine and aspartic acid) , several fatty acids , hydroxy acids  and amide products.

The experiment concluded that simple organic compounds such as amino acids could have been formed through spontaneous generation under the Earth's primitive environmental conditions.

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!

The ________ of exercise determines whether carbohydrates or fat is the predominant source of energy production
Svetach [21]
The correct term to fill in the blank would be intensity. The intensity of exercise determines whether carbohydrates or fat is the predominant source of energy production. During high-intensity workouts, it is the fat that is used as the source of energy production while low-intensity exercises would only use the carbohydrates present for energy.
