A student notices that there are situations in which her avocados go bad very quickly. She decides to test the effect of temperature on how fast the avocado ripens. She purchases 3 mini avocados and 3 regular sized avocados. She places 2 mini avocados in the refrigerator and 2 regular sized avocados on the windowsill. She then placed the last mini avocado and regular sized avocado in a paper bag under the sink. Is this a controlled experiment? Why or why not?

1. what are some of the challenges in determining the time of death using insects? type your response here in paragraph form (at least 5-7 sentences):

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations. for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

In which situations is the principle of cross-cutting relationship useful in determining relative age?
