A new mutation in mice causes the coat to be twice as thick as normal In what enviorments would this mutation be helpful?
That kind of mutation would probably be helpful in environments where it is colder. Other possible environments where it might benefit would be those with lots of harsh winds carrying abrasive particles such as sand or where a thicker coat would mimic the appearance of another larger animal that predators didn't wish to tangle with.
How does the size of the pan affect the number of kernels popped?
The bigger the pan, the less kernels popped, because it takes more time for the heat to travel through a larger pan, then it does a smaller one.
What is the analysis summary of the six rows of pompons?
Two-row barley has two rows of kernels lined up vertically on the head of the plant, while six-row has six. Even though two-row barley has larger kernels, the six-row typically yields more at harvest.
What is the make and model of this computer?
The system seems to say "Genuine" in a few places, though search results from Google have been less from helpful. It may be a particular model of a larger company, since it seems "Genuine" itself is not a computer hardware company.
What is the difference between two row and six row barley?
Two-row barley has two rows of kernels lined up vertically on the head of the plant, while six-row has six. Even though two-row barley has larger kernels, the six-row typically yields more at harvest.
Why is one of the eyes on your Black Moore larger than the other?
Could be a genetic mutation or the beginings of a problem called popeye. There are medications for Popeye.
Constructive interference results in a wave with a?
It results in a wave with an amplitude which is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the waves passing at that point.
How Are Corn Nuts Made?
Corn nuts are made from real live corn. The corn nut company simply just grow and purchase extremely large corn kernels for the corn nuts. They then fry them in one hundred percent natural vegatable oil. The corn nuts also grow in size when fryed that is why they are larger than normal corn kernels on the corn on a cob. If you buy a package of orignal corn nuts and read the ingredients it says exactly that just oil and corn kernels!!!
Why are there unpopped popcorn kernels?
have you ever seen an ear of corn? That is corn on the cob? As it grows on the plant? The cob grows from the base outwards. Kernels near the base have longer to grow than those nearer the constantly forming tip and are therefore larger.
Which type of mutation will probably have a larger effect A point mutation or a frameshift?
Both types of mutation have the potential to cause a large effect.In general, a frameshift mutation is more likely to cause a large effect. This is because it shifts the 'reading frame' - so that all of the subsequent codons (groupings of 3 bases that are read to determine which amino acid will be added) will be changed.A point mutation is when a single base is replaced. This can either result in the same amino acid being added to the protein being synthesised (a silent mutation), a different amino acid being added (a missense mutation) or in a STOP codon (a nonsense mutation).If a point mutation causes a premature STOP codon - this is quite likely to have a large effect on the protein.
How is the texture of an igneous rock related to the rate which it cooled?
Quick cooling of magma results in small crystal formation. Slow cooling magma results in larger crystals.
Suppose you toss both plastic coins 1000 times instead of 100 what would this larger sample allow?
The Larger sample allows for more precise results.
