Answer:
b. Often the initial stage in the evolution of a complex character was an adaptation to some unrelated selection pressure.
d. Phylogenetic analysis using cladistics can help reveal the sequence leading to the evolution of a complex character.
Explanation:
The evolutionary developmental program of complex characters can be analyzed by examining synapomorphies, i.e., by examining shared, derived characters common between an ancestor of a given taxonomic group and its descendants. Synapomorphies are able to create evidence for historical relationships between closely related organisms. Moreover, cladistics is a method used to categorize species/taxa into groups called 'clades' based on arranging organisms with similar traits, which can provide useful information on the evolutionary history of complex traits in different species/taxa. In phylogenetics, the analysis of complex characters involves two different stages: 1-character analysis and 2-cladistic analysis. Homology refers to structures that look similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor (i.e., they have a common origin); whereas characters are considered as parts of transformation series. In cladistics, characters used for inferring phylogenetic relationships are considered as hypotheses of homology that are subject to tests of similarity. In consequence, such characters can provide useful information on the evolutionary history of complex traits.
A 55-year-old male is sent to your office to have an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. He is a heavy drinker and smoker who also consumes spicy foods on a daily basis. He is quite anxious about having the procedure performed and is afraid he might choke during insertion of the scope. His father and younger brother were both diagnosed with esophageal cancer. His father died, but the brother was just recently diagnosed and is taking chemotherapy.
A. List the risk factors the patient has for developing esophageal cancer.
B. How might you calm the patient's fears about the procedure?
Answer and Explanation:
A. The risk factors for this patient are age, family history, and smoking and alcoholism. That's because, most cases of esophageal cancer are detected at age 55 years. We must not forget that cancer is a disease with great genetic potential, which means that, as the father and brother of this patient had this type of cancer, this patient has a high probability of developing the same cancer. Furthermore, the constant consumption of cigarettes doubles the risk of developing esophageal cancer. This risk is also increased by alcoholism.
B. To calm the patient down, I would say that there is a very small and almost non-existent risk that he will choke or even feel the endoscopy insertion, as the entire procedure is done with the patient anesthetized and sedated.
A) Risk factors include
People between the age of 45 and 70 have the more risk of esophageal cancer.If the patient has genetic signs of cancer from the past generations may have highest risk of esophageal cancer.Males have more risk than women that is 3 to 4 times to develop esophageal cancer.Alcohol consumption also increases the risk of esophageal cancer.Too much weight or obesity increases the risk of esophageal cancer.Deficiency in nutrients, vitamins and minerals can increase risk of esophageal cancer.B) Calming the patients fears
Make the patient be happy and stress free.Do exercise which produces mood boost endorphins that get rid of worries and stress.Stay positive, being friendly keep good health.For more information on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, visit

Answer:
because they both work togther
Explanation:
Give reason. Mosquitoes and housefly are placed in the phylum arthropoda
Mosquitoes and Housefly are grouped under the phylum Arthropoda because they both posses jointed legs (or appendages).
Animals that have jointed appendages are called Arthropods (i.e animals with jointed legs). They are triploblastic (i.e they have 3 germ layers) and exhibit bilateral symmetry. They are both six-legged arthropods sub-grouped under the class Hexapoda (coined from the word "hexa" meaning six and "Poda" meaning leg). Their body are divided into three parts; head, thorax and abdomen.

Fill in the bottom line of DNA with the complementary base pair:
Answer: ACCTGATCGTAGCT
Explanation:
Keep in mind that in DNA replication, the matching base pairs are A and T (adenine and thymine) and C and G (Cytosine and Guanine). This means that for DNA complementary strands, A's can ONLY bind with T's and C's can only bind with G's , and vice versa. So, your answer for the picture you have given is ACCTGATCGTAGCT
Hereditary fructose intolerance is a genetic condition caused by a variant in the ALDOB gene, which is critical for fructose metabolism. Infants with this condition do not initially display symptoms, but as they are transitioned from breast milk or formula to solid foods, in particular fruit-based foods, they begin to display symptoms, which include vomiting, diarrhea, and low blood sugar. Individuals who do not consume fructose do not display these symptoms. Which of the following describes this condition?
a. It is incompletely penetrant, due to environmental factors.
b. It has variable expressivity, due to environmental factors.incorrect
c. It is incompletely penetrant, due to genetic factors.
d. It has variable expressivity, due to genetic factors.
It has variable expressivity due to the environmental factors.
The variation in expressivity occurs due to the environmental factors of that individual. Expressivity describes the differences observed in the phenotype between two individuals that belongs to same genotype.
In the condition, when the patient is allowed to consume the fructose based food, so it expresses the change in its body due to no tolerance against fructose so we can conclude that the change occurs due to environment not due to genetics.

An unknown solution has a pH of 7.1. Which of these chemicals is likely to increase the pH the most when added to the solution?
HF
KOH
NH3
HNO3
Answer:
It is most likely KOH
Explanation:
NH3 is classified as a weak base so I'd suspect that to be incorrect although it does have a higher pH
The chemical that is likely to increase the pH the most when added to the solution is KOH. The correct option is B.
What is pH?
pH is the scale for the measurement of acidity and the basicity of any solution. pH is a scale from 1 to 14. The lowest pH will be highly acidic and the highest pH will be the highest basic.
The lowest the pH, it will donate the highest hydronium ions, and with the highest pH, it will dissociate completely into the solution. KOH dissociates completely into ions.
KOH or potassium hydroxide is a strong base. When the base is added to a solution, it increases its basicity. So it will increase the pH of the solution. All others are acids that will lower the pH of the solution.
Thus, the correct option is B. KOH.

Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized. If all of these genes are on the same chromosome, and there is no recombination, how many different genotypes will occur in the F2
Answer:
2 genotypes: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee
Explanation:
The law of segregation (also called Mendel's First Law) describes how genes on different chromosomes segregate into gametes independently of each other. Moreover, recombination (also known as crossing over) is the interchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. In this case, the five genes are on the same chromosome (i.e., they are linked together and do not segregate) and there is no recombination, thereby they are inherited as a haplotype block to the next generation:
- Genotypes parental (P) lines: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee
- Cross P1: ABCDE X abcde
- Genotype F1: AaBbCcDdEe (100%)
- Gametes F1: ABCDE; abcde
- Genotypes F2: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee (ratio 1:1)

Which of the following factors would LIMIT carrying capacity?
A. Far from factories or roads
B. A large nearby river
C. Abundant food
D. A small space to live in
Answer:
D. A small space to live in
Explanation:
Having a small space to live in would directly limit carrying capacity.
Since there is a small space, only a few organisms would be able to live in that space.
This means that carrying capacity is limited, because the space does not have enough room to sustain more people.
So, the correct answer is D. A small space to live in
According to the phenotypic characters of pneumococcus considered in Griffith's

correct option (i) Presence of slime layer (ii) Presence of capsule (iii) Absence of capsule
Answer:
发发发 发斯蒂芬
Explanation:
Presence of capsule. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
What was Griffith's experiment?Griffith's experiment of transformation is a landmark experiment in microbiology conducted in 1928 by British bacteriologist Frederick Griffith. The experiment aimed to determine the nature of the "transforming principle" responsible for transferring genetic material between bacteria.
Griffith used two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, one that was virulent and had a polysaccharide capsule (S strain) and another that was non-virulent and lacked the capsule (R strain). He found that when he injected mice with the heat-killed S strain and live R strain, the mice died, and live S strain was found in their blood. This suggested that the R strain had been transformed into the S strain, and the genetic material was responsible for the transformation.
Griffith's experiment provided the first evidence of bacterial transformation and paved the way for future research on the molecular basis of genetics.
