In the image below, the corn plant on the left has been grown with Lepidoptera sp. larvae, insects that feed on the corn’s cob and leaves. The corn plant on the right was not exposed to insects. Does this experiment provide enough information to conclude that the plant on the right is resistant to Lepidoptera, and why? 1072AQ2 A. Yes, the corn on the left was eaten by Lepidoptera larvae while the corn on the right was not. B. No, the insects on the plant on the right may have been killed by insecticide before they had a chance to damage the corn plant. C. No, we cannot conclude whether or not the corn plant on the right is resistant because it has not been exposed to Lepidoptera. D. Yes, both corn plants were treated the same way, so we can conclude that the experimental corn is resistant to Lepidoptera.

as in mitosis, dna replication occurs during interphase.   in meiosis, it occurs specifically in s phase of interphase 1.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
