Explanation:

A: Venus rotates far more slowly than Earth

Look at the column that says Period of Rotation.

Venus has a rotation period of 243 days.

Earth has a rotation period of about 24 hours.

243 days is much longer than 24 hours, so this is true.

B: Venus's year is longer than Earth's.

The year is also another way to say Period of Revolution.

Venus's is about 224 days.

Earth's is about 365 days.

Venus's is actually shorter, so this is false.

C: Mercury is approximately twice the size of Earth.

Let's look at the Equatorial Diameter column.

Mercury's is 4,880 km.

Earth's is 12,756 km.

Mercury's is much smaller than Earth's, so this is false.

D: All of the above.

Since B and C are both not true, this is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is A: Venus rotates far more slowly than Earth.

You observe a population of Island Sparrows for which the phenotype of crown color varies from yellow to white. You perform two experiments. Experiment 1 shows that this variation in the phenotype affects mating success, so that birds with yellow crown colors have more offspring. Experiment 2 shows that this variation in phenotype is determined fully by the diet of the birds and not genetics. Can crown color evolve via natural selection in this population of Island Sparrows?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the color of the crown evolves by the process of natural selection.

Explanation:

Based on experiment 1 mentioned in the question, it is clear that the sparrows with the yellow crown are demonstrating reproductive success, and based on experiment 2, it is demonstrated that the origination of crown color is solely dependent upon the diet consumed by the sparrows, not on the genes.  

The yellow crown sparrows exhibit enhanced skills in locating food, finding food or prey is dependent upon the factors like skills of hunting, vision, the musculature of the body, and other things, and all these are partially or completely determined by genetics. This yellow crown sparrow will further pass on their genes to their offspring, which will further provide them good skills of locating food, and thus, will obtain the diet needed for proper growth. These offspring will further pass on the traits to the future generations, and so on.  

On the other hand, the sparrows exhibiting white crown seem to be less efficient in locating their food, and they are also generating fewer offspring that exhibit the same lack of food locating skills like their parents. Due to less tendency of finding food, the sparrows with the white crown will suffer from poor diet and thus, will further generate less offspring, and so on.  

Therefore, it is clear that for betterment, the sparrows with the yellow crown will evolve further due to their better skills of locating food, and this gives rise to the phenomenon of natural selection.

What is an epiphysis line on bone and how are they used to help determine the age of a skeleton?

(Forensics)

Answers

Answer:

In adult bone, this is a line found between the epiphysis and the diaphysis, that shows the left over or landmark of epiphyseal plate. The latter indicate the growth area for the lengthening or prolongation of long bone. The epiphyseal plate contains cartilage for bone production,while   the epiphysis line is formed after the production of bone by the epiphyseal plate.The marks the differences between the two.

Basically, the plate is only present in children and adolescent.And  replaced in adult  by epiphyseal line-epiphyseal closure.The latter occurs at different  age range in both sexes, 12-18 years in girls, and 14-19 in boys.

Hence with this fusion of plate it is possible to predict the age of a particular skeleton. If the growth plate fusion has taken place definitely, adult bone is the sample bone, without the line shows the the sample must belong to children or adolescent.

Which statement correctly describes organisms in this ecosystem? 1. Organisms in level B obtain their energy directly from the Sun. 2. Organisms in level C obtain their nutrients directly from organisms in level D. 3. Organisms in level A are herbivores. 4. Organisms in level D are heterotrophic.

Answers

Answer:

Option 4, Organisms in level D are heterotrophic.

Explanation:

Generally in a energy level or trophic level system, organisms are arranged on a pyramid scale in such a way that organism lying at the level A or the base of the pyramid are producers. They obtain energy from the sun and produce food for other organisms. Organism in level B is a herbivore which feed upon the plants to gain food and energy. In level C organisms that feed upon herbivores i.e the carnivores lies. At level D lies the microorganisms that feed upon dead remains of high order animals and plants. Hence, organisms at level D are called heterotrophs.  

Thus, option 4 is correct

You prepare an agar plate by spread plating & place an antibiotic disk in the middle of the plate. After incubating for a day at 37 degrees C, there are no bacteria on the plate. Which of the following is NOT a reasonable interpretation of what might have happened?
O The bacteria in the culture tube were already dead when you made the plate
O The medium used was defective and provided no nutrition for the bacteria
O The bacteria grew all over the plate but were then killed by the antibiotic
O The spreading tool was too hot when spreading the bacteria

Answers

Answer:

A.The bacteria in the culture tube were already dead when you made the plate

Explanation:

Antibiotics are the chemical substance used to kill or stop the growth of bacteria and some other microorganism.

Antibiotics are added to agar plate during experiment for the selection of only those bacteria with resistance to that antibiotic.

There can be several interpretation for the absence of bacteria such as:

The bacteria grows on the nutrients in the medium but due to defective medium they were unable to grow and die.It may also happen bacteria might have grown in all over the plate but due to the action of antibiotic, all the bacteria got killed.Tool used for spreading might kill bacteria as it was hot and bacteria may not be able to tolerate the excessive heat and die.

Hence, the only not reasonable interpretation is bacteria in the culture tube were already dead when you made the plate.

So, the correct option is A.

Which of the following statements concerning metagenomic sequencing is incorrect

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "proteins are extracted from an environment, fragmented, and adaptors are added".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A) Software aligns sequences and assemble large portions of genome.

B) The samples are subject to polymerase chain reaction for amplification.

C) The sequences of the amplified fragments are determined by next-generation methods.

D) Proteins are extracted from an environment, fragmented, and adaptors are added

The correct answer is option D) Proteins are extracted from an environment, fragmented, and adaptors are added.

Metagenomic sequencing refers to the amplification and determination of all nucleotide sequences in a sample, which might contain multiple microorganisms and viruses in order to understand the presence and proportions of microbiota. Metagenomic sequencing involves the use of next-generation methods, to amplify and characterize all the nucleotides sequences. It is false to affirm that the proteins are extracted directly from the environment in this technique, since metagenomic sequencing is focused on the nucleotide sequences.

Explain how a long-term environmental change can lead to the development of a new species

Answers

Well it wouldn’t lead to the development to a completely new species but it would cause the organisms in that are evolved to adapt to their current situations so the answer would be evolution is any at all

Answer: When a long-term environmental change occurs, certain individuals in a population will be better adapted for the new environment than others. These individuals will be more likely to survive and pass on their traits to their offspring. Over many generations, these favorable adaptations build up in a population. This may lead to specification, which is the development of a new species.

Which feature contains genetic material and is present in a eukaryotic cell but not in a prokaryotic cell?

Which two features are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell? ************someone HELP PLEASE***********

Answers

Answer:

A DNA is contained in the NUCLEUS of a eukaryotic cell not a prokaryotic cell. Your awnser is " nucleus"

Explanation:

The feature that contains genetic material and is present in a eukaryotic cell but not in a prokaryotic cell is the nucleus. The two features that are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell are the cell wall and chloroplasts.

1. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound organelle called the nucleus that contains the DNA of the cell. It is in charge of conserving and safeguarding the genetic material, including the chromosomes that contain the genes that govern the properties and operations of the cell.

On the other hand, prokaryotic cells are devoid of a genuine nucleus. The cytoplasm of these cells contains their genetic material, which is normally one circular DNA molecule.

2. Cell Wall: The cell membrane of plant cells is enclosed by a strong cell wall. The plant cell is protected and supported structurally by the cell wall. Together with other polysaccharides, proteins, and cellulose, a complex carbohydrate, it essentially consists of these elements. Animal cells lack a cell wall and are supported instead by extracellular matrix and other structural elements.

Chloroplasts: The chloroplasts found in plant cells are in charge of photosynthesis. Specialized organelles called chloroplasts house the pigment chlorophyll as well as other pigments that are used to absorb light energy.

They do this by converting light energy into chemical energy, releasing oxygen as a byproduct and creating glucose. As animal cells lack chloroplasts, they are unable to perform photosynthesis.

4. Is predation a density-dependent or density-independent factor?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is density-dependent factor.

Explanation:

The factors whose influences on the growth or size of the population changes with the density of the population are known as the density-dependent factors. The availability of food, disease, predation, and migration are some types of density-dependent limiting factors.  

One of the density-dependent factors in nature is predation, predation confines various populations. The population of the prey and the predator encircle towards each other, with the population of the predator somewhat lagging behind the population of the prey.  

With the increase in the population of the prey, the predator gets more to eat, and thus the population of the predator increases. With the increase in the predator population, pressure imparts on the prey population and it starts to decline. The decline in the availability of the food eventually makes the population of the predator to decline. Therefore, it can be seen that both the population of the prey and the predator are affected by predation, that is, a density-dependent factor.
