Question 7 of 10
A certain plant has a color that can range from green to yellow. Some plants
are very green, and some are very yellow, but most are in between. What is
most likely true about this trait?
A. The color is a Mendelian trait.
B. There are several genes that control the color.
C. There are only two alleles for color.
D. Being yellow is a recessive trait.

Answers

Answer:

B. There are several genes that control the color.

Explanation:

According to the description of the trait in this question in which the plant exhibits a wide range of colors from green to yellow, it shows that the trait for color in such plant is controlled by two or more (several) genes. This kind of inheritance is called a POLYGENIC INHERITANCE.

Polygenic inheritance is a kind of non-mendelian inheritance (does not follow the principles of Mendel) in which phenotypic traits of an organism is controlled by several genes. Each gene possess two alleles, which equally contribute to the phenotypic expression of such trait. Traits controlled by polygenes do not conform to Mendel's laws of inheritance as the offsprings exhibit a range of traits from the mixture of parental traits as stated in the question.

In polygenic inheritance, most of the offsprings exhibit the intermediate phenotype (between green and yellow) with few extremes (green and yellow) due to a combination of the genes in the parental phenotypes. Hence, based on the description in the question, there are several genes that control the color trait in the plant.

Answer: B. There are several genes that control the color.

A retired contract administrator who enjoyed gardening sought medical attention for what appeared to be a sinus infection. He received antimicrobials but the conditioned worsened and he was experiencing severe painful spasms in his jaw. He admitted to injuring himself with a gardening tool while wearing sandals in the yard but did not seek medical attention for the wound. The man is likely experiencing.
A. allergic rhinitis.
B. meningitis.
C. septic shock.
D. LPS-mediated inflammatory response.
E. intoxication caused by a focal C. tetani infection.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is E. intoxication caused by a focal C. tetani infection.

Explanation:

Clostridium tetani bacteria are found in the soil, in the feces and in the mouths of animals. The disease is acquired when wounds become infected by the bacteria. The spores become active and spread throughout the body producing a poison called tetanus toxin. This toxin blocks the nerve signals from the spinal cord to the muscles and can cause generalized severe muscle spasms (lockjaw) exacerbated by external stimuli or muscle spasms in areas adjacent to the wound.

to help digest protein. Stomach cells package
and secrete pepsin in which of the organelles

Answers

Answer:

Golgi bodies /apparatus

Explanation:

this organelles are responsible in for packaging and transportation of glyco proteins therefore are the organelles mainly involved in secretion of synthesised proteins

Pepsin is an enzyme produced by stomach cells to help digest protein. Stomach cells package and secrete pepsin Golgi bodies.

What are Golgi bodies?

The majority of eukaryotic cells contain the Golgi apparatus, sometimes referred to as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or just the Golgi.

It packs proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are delivered to their destination. It is a component of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm.

It is situated close to the cell nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm.

Pepsin is an enzyme that the stomach cells manufacture to aid in the breakdown of protein. Pepsin Golgi bodies are packaged and secreted by stomach cells.

Thus, the organelle is Golgi bodies.

Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists

A. could not confirm the usefulness of sonar

B. could destroy the hypothasis of continental drift

C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents

D. could explain how the seafloor was being destroyed

Answers

Answer:

C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents

Explanation:

Magnetic reversals have the habit of causing geological displacements, since they are directly linked to the movements and distribution of tectonic plates on the planet, which are responsible for the movements of the continents. In this case,

if the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor were not carried out, it would be impossible to establish its relationship with the movement of the tectonic plates, making it impossible to provide a mechanism for moving continents.

What has a greater influence on protein levels?
(1 point)
Protein degradation has a greater influence because outside factors like antibiotics can
cause it, and it is difficult to recover from.
O
Protein degradation has a greater influence because they are denatured faster than the cell
can produce them.
mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence because it is destroying mRNA before
proteins can even be produced.
mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence because mRNA is destroyed right
after the proteins are produced.

Answers

Answer:

mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence because it is destroying mRNA before  proteins can even be produced.

Explanation:

Proteins are synthesized from mRNA through the process of translation. mRNAs are first synthesized from a coding DNA template through the process of transcription. Hence, if mRNAs are destroyed, it means proteins will not be synthesized at all.

Protein not being synthesized at all means that mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence on protein levels than protein degradation. With protein degradation, not all the protein is degraded at once and some quantity of the protein can still be found, but with mRNA destroyer concentration, no protein can be found at all because it was not synthesized in the first place.

here are times where you will be provided with BUD dates. When you do not have access to the BUD dates, you will have to determine that date yourself. What is the appropriate BUD date for a water containing oral formulation? Not later than 14 days Not later than 30 days

Answers

Answer:

Explanation: Not later than 14 days.

Beyond Use Date (BUD) is the date after which a compounded sterile preparation may not be stored or transported. This time is calculated from the date of compounding, and it is different from expiration date. This is because the BUDs are assigned with a different approach from those applied to assigning expiration dates to  manufactured drug products. Also, compounded preparations are intended for administration following short-term storage. So, the BUD is the date after which a compounded preparation shall not be  used. A reliable BUD is established to ensure that the preparation  has an accepted quality and purity at least  until the labeled BUD.

BUD is calculated by:

Type of container in which it is packagedHow long the medication will be takenType of drugHow fast is the drug degradatedStorage conditionsDosage of the medicationNature of the drug and its degradation mechanism Potential for microbial proliferation in the preparation

For Nonaqueous Formulation, the BUD is not later than 6 months or the time  remaining until the earliest expiration date of any API (Active pharmaceutical ingredient), whichever is earlier.  

For Water-Containing Oral Formulation, the BUD is not later than 14  days when it is stored at controlled cold temperatures.

For Dermal and Mucosal Liquid, Semisolid Formulations/Water-Containing Topical, the BUD is not later than 30 days.

Help? You are studying an outcrop where the lower layer is limestone and the layer directly on top of the limestone is sandstone. Near the bottom of the sandstone layer are small, weathered pieces of limestone entirely contained within the sandstone. Explain how these pieces of limestone came to be contained within the sandstone.

Answers

Answer:

Due to mixing of particles present in the upper layer of limestone with sandstone during deposition.

Explanation:

The parent layer was limestone layer which is older than sandstone layer. This sandstone layer spreads on the limestone layer because of wind. The wind moves these sandstone from other region and their deposition occurs on the limestone layer. During deposition of sandstone, some particles of limestone which are present at the surface mixes with the sandstone so that's why in sandstone layer, small and weathered pieces of limestone are present.

A cell biologist carefully measures the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the G1 phase of the cell cycle contained 200 units of DNA. What would be the amount of DNA in one of the grasshopper daughter cells right after cytokinesis?

Answers

Answer:

200 units

Explanation:

Cell cycle refers to the series of events that occurs throughout the division of a cell. Mitosis is the division used during cell growth. Mitosis consists of the Interphase stage and the Mitotic phase. The interphase stage is made up of the G1, S and G2 phases in that order. The genetic material (DNA) of the cell replicates during the Synthesis (S) phase.

Hence, this means that the DNA of grasshopper cells in the culture observed during the G1 phase will enter the S phase and replicate i.e. 200 units will form 400 units.

The cell go ahead to undergo nuclear division during the anaphase of the mitotic phase. Hence, each pole of the cell will contain 200units of DNA each. During Cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell divides and the contents of the opposite poles becomes a new daughter cell. Each daughter cell will therefore contain 200 units of DNA each.

Galactosemia is an inherited genetic condition. Children with this condition cannot break down the sugar galactose, which is part of lactose. Based on the pedigree chart, is this condition a dominant or a recessive disorder? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Recessive.

Explanation:

Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits a non-working gene from each parent.

There is no chart attached, so the reasoning is just common scientific knowledge. Please attach the chart so I can properly answer the question!

Answer:

It is recessive. Both parents are heterozygous for the trait, but they do not exhibit the disease themselves. If it were a dominant gene, both parents would have the disease if they carried the gene for it.

Vanessa attempts to freeze liquid mercury. Which statements describe particle arrangement and motion that occur in mercury?

Answers

Answer:

Volume of mercury decreases due to close arrangement of particles.

Explanation:

When we freeze liquid mercury, its volume decreases and density increases from from 13.69 g/cm3 to 14.184 g/cm3 and form a solid mercury. The motion of particles stop when we freezes liquid mercury and the particles settles into a stable arrangement. If we cool the liquid mercury and the temperature reaches to -38.83 °C, then it converts from liquid into solid substance.
