Below is the electron configuration of a carbon atom.  Based upon that please predict the type of bonding that would take place with a carbon atom.   Accessible description of image:  Diagram of a carbon atom showing a central nucleus labeled “Carbon,” made up of clustered protons and neutrons. Surrounding the nucleus are two dashed circular electron shells. Two electrons are shown on the inner shell (labeled “S”), and four electrons are shown on the outer shell (labeled “P”), illustrating carbon’s six total electrons.

Suppose you decide to plant a small vegetable garden. You have two plots of land in your yard which you fill with a variety of plants.  Since you are a keen observer you notice the following:   Observation: Your two tomato plants which are genetically identical to one another are growing at vastly different rates.  You planted one of each plant in the two different garden beds.       Formulate a hypothesis based upon your observation: State the hypothesis. Design an experiment to test your hypotheses; make sure your experiment includes a control group.

Scenario Kenneth and Catherine Lohmann of the University of North Carolina explored the orientation ordirection-finding abilities of loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings under varying magnetic conditions.Hatchlings were placed in a tank of water in a laboratory either in the natural magnetic field ofthe earth OR in a reversed magnetic field in which north and south were flipped. Theresearchersthen measured the direction that the hatchlings swam. The experiments were carried out in thedark and at night since that is when most newly hatched turtles migrate from their sandy nestsinto the ocean. In the experiment, hatchlings swam in one direction when exposed to the natural magneticfield of the earth, but in a different direction when exposed to the reversed magnetic field? Whatconclusion can be drawn from this?

A researcher is attempting to use RNAi to investigate the function of citrate synthase, an enzyme that is involved in the Kreb’s cycle. If the researcher injected siRNAs complementary to citrate synthase mRNA into cells, what is the most likely outcome that she would observe?

STR analysis is a DNA profiling technique that makes use of the fact that different people have:
