A laboratory investigation examined the growth rate of fruit flies in culture jars over time. The fruit flies were grown in an artificial
medium containing nutrients and moisture. They were enclosed in a culture jar of a defined size. Initially, there were ten fruit flies
in the experiment. The population reached 75 over the course of four weeks. However, after eight weeks, the population size
leveled off and then decreased. Survival of fruit fly larvae declined after eight weeks. Which hypotheses are supported by the
information in this scenario? Select ALL that apply?

A)
The older fruit flies were unable to reproduce
Scientific
Calc
B)
The carrying capacity was exceeded by the fly population
Food was abundant for the first four weeks of the experiment.
D)
The fruit flies were unable to survive in a laboratory setting
E)
The carrying capacity decreased when no new food was added to the
culture jars.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: B, D, E

Explanation:

USA test prep said it

Answer 2

The carrying capacity was exceeded by the fly population as Food was abundant for the first four weeks of the experiment.The fruit flies were unable to survive in a laboratory setting. The carrying capacity decreased when no new food was added to the culture jars. Options B,D and E are correct.

What is the reason of choosing fruit flies ?

The reason of choosing fruit flies is because of their big growth rate along with the smaller life cycle.

The carrying capacity that is the fruit flies were able to multiply faster and faster because the food source that is the nutrition that was given to the flies was in big amount thus the cycle could continue.

Fruit flies are able to reach a limit of the growth rate when they are in natural habitat when they reach the artificial setting then they  are not able to get into the same growth rate.

The carrying capacity decreased when no new food was added to the

culture jars. With time when the nutrition source that was being added to the jars got decreased the flies stopped growth rate and reached a declining number as well.

The purpose of the experiment is above

Answers

Answer:

The hypothesis of the experiment states that the density of a liquid can affect the properties and the way this liquid interacts with others.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the hypothesis is an assumption, that is, it is something that the researcher believes to be true. To confirm this assumption, the experiment must present facts that show that this assumption is correct and true.

In this case, the purpose of an experiment is to confirm a hypothesis. In this case, if the purpose of the experiment is to find out if the density of a liquid can affect the properties and how that liquid interacts with other liquids, it is because the hypothesis of this experiment assumes that the density of the liquid has the ability to modify the properties and the interaction of this liquid with others.

Why are only four amino acids produced by 5 codons? I need this answer ASAP

Answers

Answer:

My answer (that the information we have about codon structure is limited to the observations we can make now) is similar to the first part of your answer: that the number of amino acids that can be encoded is a function of codon length, in that both imply the (circular) argument that we must need more than 14 amino acids (plus a start and a stop, making 16) because we observe three nucleotide codons rather than two nucleotide codons. It would be nice to have a noncircular argumentf for why the minimum number of distinct amino acids is more than 14, but that is beyond my ability to construct

A, T, C, and G are the only letters found in DNA, however, a protein may include up to 20 distinct amino acids. Codons assist in translating the DNA code into a protein code at this point.

What are genetic codons?

For the body to develop and work effectively, 20 different amino acids are required. All 20 of them are crucial for your health, but only 9 are considered to be absolutely necessary.

This is due to the degeneracy of genetic codes, one of their characteristics, the remaining 3 codons are called "stop" codons since they do not code for any amino acids. The sequences UAA, UAG, and UGA include the stop codon information.

Therefore, only 61 of the 64 possible codon combinations code for amino acids.

17. How does the placement of the stamen in relationship to the pistil affect the way in which

the flower is fertilized?

Answers

Answer:

this placement increases the chances of pollination

Explanation:

Pollination refers to the process of transferring pollen grains from the male stamens of a flower to the female stigma. The stamens generally surround the pistil and they are composed of two structures: 1-the anther (produces male reproductive cells or pollen grains) and 2-filaments (supports the anthers). Moreover, the female pistil is generally located at the center of the flower and it is composed of three structures: stigma (a sticky bulb in the center of flower), ovary (contains female reproductive cells or ovules), style (supports the stigma). The arrangement of the plant's reproductive organs increases the chances of pollination: when a pollinator (e.g. bees) visits a stigma for nectar it has to go through the stamen and catch pollen that then carries to the stigma of the same flower (auto-pollination) or another flower (cross-pollination). Moreover, the flowers also have petals and sepals that help attract pollinators and protect the flower bud, respectively.

D) Fetal waste is removed through the large intestine; infant waste is removed through the ductus venosus.

Answers

Answer: A) Fetal waste is removed through the chorion; infant waste is removed through the rectum.

Explanation:

A developing fetus is surrounded by chorion which is an outer membrane. The role of the chorion is to protect the embryo and provide nutrition to it in the form of blood supply. It helps in getting rid of waste products from the developing fetus that goes into the mother blood to remove out of her body. In case of infants the rectum is the last part of the digestive tract and it receives the waste in the form of fecal matter from small intestine which is removed out through the rectum.

Participants had their vascular health measured (by means of flow-mediated dilation) before and after the two-week study. The increase over the two-week period was measured, with larger numbers indicating greater vascular health.
