Answer: Option B
Explanation: First we should understand the role of enzyme and acid here. Pepsin is an enzyme which will break down proteins into simple monomers (like amino acids). And, acid causes digestion which means it will break down the protein into its respective elements and compounds. Water will act as a control in this experiment.
Option B is correct because it has all three criteria- 1. Control [water + protein] 2. With enzyme [egg white + pepsin] 3. With acid and enzyme
So this will give us an idea whether pepsin alone is breaking down the protein or digesting it. And there would be difference in test tube B and C. So this will clear the difference.
Option A is incorrect because it has not mentioned any different test tube for checking what happened with the protein. And, Option C is incorrect because mass of egg white will remain same after digestion also.
Answer:
The correct answer is "The frequency of the B allele increased due to the selective pressures of the environment".
Explanation:
The missing part of the question is "Which of the following could best explain the increase in the frequency of the B allele in the population after five years?" at which the answer is "The frequency of the B allele increased due to the selective pressures of the environment".
In this study, the allelic frequency for black fur (B) in eastern gray squirrels Sciurus carolinensis changed from B=0.4 to B=0.6 within a lapse of five years. This increase is explained by the effect of selective pressures of the environment. For instance, is likely that new predators were more likely to detect squirrels with gray fur over black fur, or changes in the landscape benefited the black fur squirrels camouflage.
Answer:
Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.
Explanation:
Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.
Answer:
36
Explanation:
A two-point test-cross is a cross between an individual with a double heterozygote genotype and a homo-zygous recessive individual in order to determine the recombination frequency between two linked genes. In genetics, one map unit (m.u.) can be defined as the measure of the distance (i.e., genetic distance instead of physical distance) between genes for which one (1) product of meiosis in one hundred (100) is recombinant. In this case, 36 of the offspring have the recombinant phenotype, while the remaining 64 offspring are not recombinant, and therefore both genes are separated by 36 mu (64 + 36 = 100 >> 36 mu).
Answer: It proposes that the entire double‑stranded DNA molecule serves as a template for a whole new molecule of DNA.
Explanation:
In semi-conservative DNA replication:
- a parent double-stranded DNA splits in two.
- Each strand serves as template, and then read by the enzyme, DNA polymerase, to ensure accurate synthesis of a new daughter strand for both
- the newly synthesized strand contains nucleotides that are complimentary to free nucleotides present in the parent strand.
Thus, because the parent double strand is retained in the newly synthesized DNA, this model is described as semi-conservative
