In 1668 Francesco Redi did a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze will exclude the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat.
Refer to the paragraph on Redi's experiments. In both experiments, fies appeared in all of the open jars and only in the open jars. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. The experiment was inconclusive because it did not nun long enough
B. The experiment supports the hypothesis that spontaneous generation occurs in rotting meat.
C. The expertment supports the hwpothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flhes
D. The experiment was inconclusive because Redi used only one kind of meat

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The experiment supports the hypothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flies; that is  only from reproduction and development.

Explanation:

The objective of this experimental set up by Francesco Radi  was to demonstrate the concept of spontaneous generation. He concluded that, Maggots are not spontaneous generated from rotten meats, rather they are products of eggs laid by houseflies who visited the rotten meat to lay eggs. The maggots (larva) are products of complete metamorphosis, from egg to larva to pupa and adult. This is an indication that, new organisms are not formed form spontaneously, but are products of well-defined process of reproduction and development which in this case is a  complete metamorphosis.

Based on this premise he concluded that, if maggots were products of  laid eggs, then they should appear only  when rotten meat is exposed to  open air.However,if they are f products of spontaneous generation they should appear irrespective of  the meat exposure to air or not.

What evidence provided supports the claim that "a high level of testosterone provides an unfair advantage in women’s athletics? is this adequate evidence? explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Although higher levels of testosterone in women cause an increase in muscle mass, this condition is also associated with health problems including, among others, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism, sleep apnea, irregular menstrual cycles and obesity, and therefore affecting their athletic performance.

Explanation:

A high level of testosterone in females not only influences their physical appearance, and its imbalance has been associated to health issues that affect women's athletic achievement. Testosterone is a hormone that controls gene expression in multiple organs and one of the most important metabolic regulators of sugar, lipids and proteins, thereby level higher than normal may cause the loss of the organism's homeostasis in women.

Why are enzymes important to cells? Why does an egg change color and texture when heated?

Answers

When you boil an egg, it goes from liquid to solid because the heat breaks and reconfigures the hydrogen bonds between amino-acids in the egg proteins. You permanently change the shape of the proteins, and so permanently change their qualities (in this case, texture).

If an organism has six pairs of chromosomes, how many different gametes can be produced?

Answers

Answer:

6

Explanation

Six different types of chromosomes constitute a haploid set of chromosomes. Two chromosomes of the same type are called homologous chromosomes and these constitute a homologous pair.

The cells producing sex cells or gametes undergo meiosis (reduction division) so that each gamete contains only one chromosome of a homologous pair.

The gametes are haploid, having half the number of cells as compared to somatic cells.

The gametes or sex cells produced by the organism will have 6 chromosomes if the organism has 12 chromosomes

Several genes in humans in addition to the ABO gene (I ) give rise to recognizable antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The MN and Rh genes are two examples. The Rh locus can contain either a positive or a negative allele, with positive being dominant to negative. M and N are codominant alleles of the MN gene. Suppose a child's blood type is B MN Rh(neg). The mother's blood type is O N Rh(neg). Check all of the blood types below that the father could have. (Assume no involvement of the Bombay phenotype; everyone is HH).
A. O M Rh- O M Rh -
B. B MN Rh+ B MN Rh+
C. A M Rh+ A M Rh+
D. O MN Rh+ O MN Rh+
E. B MM Rh+ B MM Rh+
F. B NN Rh-

Answers

Answer:

Option B and E

Explanation:

Since the child's blood type is

B (BB or BO) MN Rh(neg)

The mother's bloodtype is

O (OO) N (NN) Rh(neg)

To produce a child with the B bloodtype when mother is OO, the father has to have either one or two copies of the B bloodtype (BB or BO).

To also produce a child with MN Bloomington when mother is NN, the father has to have either the M (MM) bloodtype or the MN bloodtype.

Thus, the father's bloodline could be

B M bloodtype Rh(+)

Or

B MN bloodtype Rh(+)

Consider a newly discovered organism that is bioluminescent. Scientists studying this animal have discovered that there are two enzymes necessary for the animal to glow, encoded by the bright and red genes. Furthermore, scientists have confirmed that for bioluminescence to be displayed, an individual must have at least one copy of the dominant allele for each gene, (B and R). Match the genotypes with their correct phenotypes, glowing or nonglowing.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

I don't really understand the question but if the animal wants to glow or not, BR, Br, bR would be the glowing because it needs at least one dominant. If there is a specific dominant gene let's say "B" then the genotypes for glowing must be Br or BR. If it is non glowing, "br". Since it will not have any domiant allele, then it would not be glowing. I hope this helped  

Genotypes with their correct phenotypes glowing: BBRR, BBRr, BbRr, BbRR, non-glowing: bbrr, Bbrr, BBrr, bbRR, bbRr.

What is a genotype?

Genotype is the genetic appearance of the organism in which it codes a protein that gives a physical characteristic to the organism.

Glowing: BBRR, BBRr, BbRr, BbRR

Non-glowing: bbrr, Bbrr, BBrr, bbRR, bbRr.

Scientists have confirmed that for bioluminescence to be displayed bright and red genes which are phenotypes that show the physical appearance of the organism.

Therefore genotype for glowing: BBRR, BBRr, BbRr, BbRR, and for non-glowing: bbrr, Bbrr, BBrr, bbRR, bbRr is genotypes with their correct phenotypes and have one copy of the dominant allele for each gene.

Answer:  A forensic palynologist can help a crime investigation because they can examine the pollen in the victim and compare it with the pollen from the suspects by using a comparison microscope to tell if it's a match.

Answer: Well, forensics is the study of the application of science to criminal and civil laws, mainly—on the criminal side—during criminal investigation. So they have an important role in the judicial system because they study criminal reports and files, Identify and classify crime scene evidence through scientific analysis, and then they have to explore possible links between suspects and criminal activity using the results of chemical and physical analyses. So in a crime scene, they might examine the details that they might notice, like the position of the victim or the objects surrounding the scene, test and analyze them, and then follow the leads they get from that.
