The genes in a population give forth the genetic variability across a population (genotypes). In addition, occasional mutations of these genes in a population increase this genetic variability. Hovever, natural selection only favours reproduction of individuals with genes that are favourable in the environment/habitat. Therefore, natural selection has no foresight but is rather pegged on being an ‘opportunistic’ process.
Answer:
The answers are:
1. initial composition of microbial community (controlled variable)
2. age of the mice (controlled variable)
3. change in body fat (dependent variable)
4. diet (independent variable)
5. weight gain (dependent variable)
6. final composition of the microbial community (controlled variable)
Explanation:
Before I go ahead to explain each of the choices of classification, let us define each of the different types of variable.
1. Independent variable: this is a variable that is under the control of the experimenter. It is made up of the factors that are being tested. In our example, the independent variables is; diet. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of the type of diet on the mice. The diet can also be varied and assigned at will by the experiment.
2. Dependent variable: a dependent variable is one whose outcome is reliant on the effect of the changes in the independent variable. It is the factor to be measured. In our example, the factors that obey these definitions are; change in body fat and weight gain. these two factors depend on the types of diet taken by the mice, hence they are the factors to be measured.
3. Controlled variable: these are variables that are kept constant throughout the experiment to rule out biases, because they produce the same effect on the dependent variable as the independent variable and must be keep constant or uniform in the test groups. in our example, the factors that are controlled include; initial and final compositions of the microbial communities and the age of the mice, because the microbial composition if not uniform among the groups can cause biases in how the diets are processed, and the age of the mice also must be uniform to avoid age-related differences in the processing of the diets
Answer:
The correct answer is increasing the rate of cellular respiration in mitochondria.
Explanation:
In mammals like humans, the infection causes a rise or hike in the body temperature of an individual up to 2 - 3 degrees Celsius. Infection results in thermoregulation strategies control by the hypothalamus, of the host by immune system transmitted integration signals, hormonal and neuron lead and increase in metabolic reactions by the increase the rate of the cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria and that elevate body temperature. Mitochondria releases energy in the form of ATP that helps in body temperature as it is an exothermic reaction.
The correct answer is increasing the rate of cellular respiration in mitochondria.
Answer:
With 6 we should multiply gross photosynthesis (as we were measuring gross photosynthesis for 10 min).
Explanation:
According to this question:-
Net photosynthesis- 3mm/20min- 1.5mm/10min
Cellular respiration- 1mm/15min- 0.66mm/10min
Gross photosynthesis = Net photosynthesis + Cellular respiration = 1.5+0.66 = 2.16 (mm/10min)
Rate of photosynthesis = (gross photosynthesis)6 = 2.16 *6 = 12.96 mm/hr
As we gage the photosynthesis rate in hr.
