Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Carbon dioxide, decrease

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a set of reactions by which organic compounds (sugars) are degraded by oxidation to inorganic substances. This process provides energy in the form of ATP and to achieve this, many reactions occur in which electrons are passed from one molecule to another, called redox reactions. In the case of aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is molecular oxygen, which is reduced to water.  Oxygen, like any gas, crosses the plasma membrane and then the mitochondrial membrane, and in the mitochondrial matrix it binds electrons and protons, forming water. It is in this final oxidation and in previous processes that energy is obtained. The reactions that extract energy from sugars such as glucose are catabolic reactions since a large molecule is broken into smaller molecules. For example, when glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen, six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and six molecules of water are obtained. Both CO2 and water are eliminated by lung exhalation.

In the event that this carbon dioxide is not completely eliminated, something called respiratory acidosis occurs, which is one of the disorders of the acid-base balance due to a decrease in the frequency of respirations or hypoventilation. The increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood causes the pH value to decrease. This scale is a measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance or solution. A pH value of less than 7 means it is more acidic, and a pH value of more than 7 means it is more alkaline. Carbon dioxide is constantly produced as the body metabolizes energy, which will accumulate in the circulation rapidly if the lungs do not remove it properly. Alveolar hypoventilation thus leads to an increase in arterial CO2 partial pressure. The increase in pressure in turn decreases the ratio of bicarbonate (HCO3) to bicarbonate pressure with a consequent increase in acidity or decrease in blood pH. The body's metabolism rapidly generates a large amount of carbonic acid (H2CO3) and non-volatile acid. The lungs normally excrete the volatile fraction through ventilation without accumulation of acid in the blood but in this case this is not possible and this accumulation of carbonic acid causes the pH to rise. This disrupts homeostasis, a form of equilibrium that is achieved through a network of feedback control systems that constitute the self-regulatory mechanisms.

Which type of species best describes a mouse: opportunistic or equilibrium? Explain why a mouse or rat population would continuously grow while other mammals (cheetahs) are nearly extinct.

Answers

Answer:

This allele has not been eliminated by natural selection because it may confer an adaptive advantage for particular environmental conditions  

Mice and rats are opportunistic species. These species can rapidly adapt to different environmental conditions, while cheetahs are unable to adapt to changing environments.  

Explanation:

An allele is a gene variant that may be beneficial, neutral, or deleterious for a particular environment. Different alleles are not eliminated by natural selection against other alleles (even when a priori seem to be deleterious) because they confer a selective advantage in a given environment. For example, the allele for sickle cell anemia is caused by a point mutation which is lethal in homo-zygous individuals, but heterozygous individuals are less likely to die of malaria, thereby this allele has been positively selected in geographic areas where malaria is an endemic disease. Moreover, mice and rats are opportunistic species, i.e., they are species that rapidly adapt to varied living conditions. These species are characterized to have high growth rates and produce many offspring. On the other hand, the cheetah is a highly specialized species that is unable to adapt to changing environments. In consequence, cheetah populations are more prone to become extinct than rat and mice populations.

Albinism is a recessive trait where an individual does not produce the pigment melanin. A man and woman who both produce melanin have one child out of three who has albinism. What are the genotypes of the man and woman

Answers

it’s just because the answer is this melanin both of them have it

Albinism is a recessive trait where an individual does not produce the pigment melanin. Albinism is an autosomal disease where the gene which is expressed here is having albinism which is the cause of heterozygous condition.

What is the heterozygous ?

Heterozygous is the condition where the genes in the alleles are different to each other where one has a dominant character and one has a recessive character. The genotypes of the woman and man decide the genotype of the offspring.

The genotypes of the man and woman is heterozygous where the dominant once out of 3 will have the dominant traits for the albinism. The condition will have to be heterozygous as in the Ia Ii gene where the gene for the albinism   will be i gene.

The same genotype for the male where the Ib i gene in which i i the albinism carrying gene here the ii condition of the gene will express the albinism.

A. 2:1
B. 1:1
C. 1:3
D. 3:1

Answers

Answer:

D. 3:1

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, in one of his numerous studies, performed a cross between purebred dominant (TT) pea plants and purebred recessive (tt) pea plants. All the offsprings of this cross appeared heterozygous tall (Tt) in the F1 generation.

However, when he self-crossed the F1 generation i.e. Tt × Tt, Mendel obtained a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall plants (dominant traits) : 1 short plant (recessive). This showed that the masked gene (recessive) was still present.

Given the range of current speeds shown on the graph above, would deposition ever be possible for clay (0.001 mm) or silt (0.01mm) particles?
Answer yes or no and explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, deposition can be possible for clay (0.001 mm) and silt (0.01mm) particles when the agent that carry its load is absent in that region such as wind. Wind is the agent that moves clay and silt particles with it so if there is high wind in a specific region, no deposition will occur while on the other hand, those areas where wind is not present, deposition will definitely occurs so we can say that deposition depends on the presence and absence of wind.

What is the probability that a hybrid individual with the genotype AabbCcddEeFf will produce a gamete that has the genotype abCdeF

Answers

Answer:

6.25%

Explanation:

Find the number of different gametes that can be produced

number of gametes produced = 2^n

n is the number of allele pairs that are heterozygous

there are 4 heterozygous allele pairs, these are: Aa, Cc, Ee and Ff

2^4 = 16

abCdeF is one of the 16 genotypes that could be produced

to find the percentage, divide 1 and 16 and multiply by 100

1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625

0.0625 × 100 = 6.25

e. Foramen ovale

Answers

Answer:

1. Functions:

a. Umbilical artery >> carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta

b. Umbilical vein >> transports oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus

c. Ductus venosus >> allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver

d. Ductus arterious >> allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's non-functioning lungs

e. Foramen ovale >> oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the pulmonary circulation

2. After the bird:

1. Umbilical artery >> medial umbilical ligament

2. Umbilical vein >> round ligament of the liver

3. Ductus venosus  >> ligamentum venosum

4. Ductus arteriosus >> ligamentum arteriosum

5. Foramen ovale >> fossa ovalis

Explanation:

The umbilical artery is a paired artery localized in the abdominal and pelvic regions, which carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta through the umbilical cord. The medial umbilical ligament is the obliterated part of the umbilical artery that arises from the internal iliac arteries. In utero, the umbilical arteries carry waste products back to the placenta, whereas the umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. The round ligament of the liver (also known as ligamentum teres hepatis) is a remnant of the umbilical vein that  exists in the embryonic stage, it connects the left lobe of the liver to the umbilicus. The ductus venosus is a slender shunt that allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver, it connects the intra-hepatic portion of the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The ligamentum venosum is an extrahepatic, slender, and fibrous remnant of the fetal ductus venosus that travels between the left portal vein and the inferior vena cava. The ductus arteriosus is a fetal artery that connects the aorta to the pulmonary artery. The ligamentum arteriosum is a nonfunctional vestige of the ductus arteriosus, it is attached to the superior surface of the pulmonary trunk. The foramen ovale is an oval-shaped, small, opening in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart. The fossa ovalis is a vestige stricture of the foramen ovale of the embryonic heart, which forms a depression in the right atrium of the heart.

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is as follow:

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating _______, which then undergoes _______ to _______, then to _______, and incorporated into D N A by _______. Thymine in tRNA arises ________, by an S-adenosylmethionine-dependent _______ of a ______ residue in RNA.

Answer:

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating dTMP, which then undergoes phosphorylation to dTDP, then to dTTP, and incorporated into DNA by DNA polymerase. Thymine in tRNA arises posttranslationally, by an S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of a UMP residue in RNA.

Explanation:

Thymidylate synthase is a key enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of 2′-deoxythymidine-5′-monophosphate (dTMP) from 2′-deoxyuridine-5′-monophosphate (dUMP). This enzyme catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group (phosphorylation) of dTMP in order to form thymidine 5'-diphosphate (dTDP). Once synthesized, dTMP can be metabolized to deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), which is a precursor for DNA biosynthesis. On the other hand, transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is methylated after the molecule is synthesized. The transfer of the methyl group is catalyzed by an S-adenosylmethionine–dependent methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of uridine monophosphate (UMP) using SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) as the methyl donor.

Fungi play a crucial role in the balance of ecosystems. They colonize most habitats on earth, preferring dark, moist conditions. They can thrive in seemingly-hostile environments, such as the tundra. However, most members of the Kingdom Fungi grow on the forest floor where the dark and damp environment is rich in decaying debris from plants and animals. In these environments, fungi play a major role as decomposers and recyclers, making it possible for members of the other kingdoms to be supplied with nutrients and to live.
