Minos, king of Crete, had made war upon Athens. He had come with a great fleet of ships and an army, and had burned the merchant vessels in the harbor, and had overrun all the country and the coast even to Megara, which lies to the west. He had laid waste the fields and gardens round about Athens, had pitched his camp close to the walls, and had sent word to the Athenian rulers that on the morrow he would march into their city with fire and sword and would slay all their young men and would pull down all their houses, even to the Temple of Athena, which stood on the great hill above the town. Then Aegeus, the king of Athens, with the twelve elders who were his helpers, went out to see King Minos and to treat with him.–“The Cruel Tribute,”
James Baldwin

“Then Aegeus, the king of Athens . . . went out to see King Minos and to treat with him.”

A controversial issue of toxicology is the use of chemical additives in food.

Food additives are substances intentionally added to foods for the purpose of preserving, enhancing or modifying their physical, chemical, biological or sensory properties without impairing their nutritional value. However, it is necessary to control the use of these substances, as ingestion of these substances may pose health risks.

Additives are found in most processed foods, such as cookies, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, jellies, artificial juices, candies and a host of other foods in the diet of Brazilians, especially children.

Thus, its consumption should be controlled, as the health risk is confirmed by a sum of scientific studies. The three main ills associated with excessive consumption of these substances are cancer, food hypersensitivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Some audiences are even more vulnerable to consumption, such as pregnant women, the elderly, people with little food and children under three years. In the case of children the attention should be greater because the digestive and urinary systems are not yet fully prepared to process these substances.

The more industrialized the product, the more chemical additives it will have. The ideal is to prepare fresh products at home. However, as is often not possible, it is important that you read the label and choose the products with the least additives.

Answer:

More and more of the medium ground finch population would develop the characteristic of having a thick beak for breaking larger seeds. It would be a small amount of them having the characteristic at first, but then gradually the amount would increase until all of them keep this characteristic.

This is an example of natural selection and adaptation. The two words are related, in a way. Natural selection is when a species change over time with a characteristic that helps them adapt better to their environment. The medium ground finch population has to adapt in the change of environment through natural selection of getting the characteristic of thicker beaks for bigger seeds. Developing this characteristic will help more survive and reproduce, allowing the natural selection process to take place easier and quicker.

Explanation:

Energy will take the path from sun to stomach as sun's energy to chemical energy followed by thermal and mechanical energy.

Explanation:

The energy of the sun is in the from of chemical energy which is the ultimate basis of life on earth . The process of photosynthesis occurs to form a chemical compound named glucose. The food ingested is in polymer complex forms as protein, carbohydrate, fats etc which is broken into monomers for absorption in intestine and stomach.

The dietary compound has energy stored in their bonds as chemical energy.

So, from sun human consume chemical energy which is stored in food.

The energy even if consumed by eating meat is also chemical energy which is stored as potential energy.

The breakdown of food or chemical energy into monomers leads to release of thermal energy or heat to maintain optimum body temperature.

Chemical energy also gets converted to mechanical energy which allows functioning of vital organs and movement of body.

Answer:

Explanation:

A) to determine amino acid sequence of the protein produced by that gene. We will use cDNA library, we will hybridize given part of DNA sequence ( as this part only contains exon part). Than we will isolate the hybridize part and translate this sequence using generic coding table.

B) for determine presence or absence of introns in gene used isolated cDNA in first question. Now we will add this cDNA to DNA library. Here cDNA due to complementary mature binds with DNA. If cDNA binds completely with gene with out looping part of gene it shows that gene is having only exons .

And if along with hybridization part some looped part present in between-- it shows both exons and intron are present.

C) for determining alternative splicing we will use cDNA library.

d) to determine length of mature mRNA which includes both the UTR and poly A sequence we will go for cDNA cloning and look for particular cDNA complementary to DNA segments. And later we isolate that cDNA and examine its whole length

E) to determine which cells in the tribble body express this particular mRNA . We use fluorescent tagged small DNA part provided. Then we will add this DNA probe to supplied tribes. The cells which are expressing , will have cDNA will bind to probe and florescent can be detected. Cells which are not expressing that gene, here probe will not bind and no fluorescence.  

F) to determine that whose blood strain is this. We will do VBTR profiling . Which VNTR profiling similar to belief stain help to determine which blood stain is this.
