Eratosthenes determined the circumference of Earth by conducting an experiment. Put his steps in order as they correlate to the scientific method.

Conduct an Experiment: Measure the angle of shadow at high noon

in Syene and Alexandria,

Make Observations: In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon.

At

t the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the

vertical.

Draw Conclusions: The angle represents the amount Earth curves

between Syene and Alexandria. This is 1/50 of a complete circle and

1/50 of Earth's circumference.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning.
