issues related to the Amazon rainforest

Answers

Answer 1
Huge areas of rainforest are destroyed by clearing for farming, timber, roads, hydropower dams, mining, house-building or other development. The problem is it's often seen as more economically worthwhile to cut the forest down than to keep it standing.

What is your opinion on the use of stem cells, obtained from fertilized eggs or early stage embryos

Answers

I believe that it can help in the future. Who knows embryonic stem cells may lead to new, and more effective treatments for serious human ailments and alleviate the suffering of thousands of people!

USE OF STEM CELL:

The first attempts to turn mature cells back into pluripotent stem cells involved a process called cloning. In the cloning process, an egg is fertilized in the lab, and right after fertilization, the DNA is removed from the egg.These stem cells come from embryos that are three to five days old. These are pluripotent (ploo-RIP-uh-tunt) stem cells, meaning they can divide into more stem cells or can become any type of cell in the body. This versatility allows embryonic stem cells to be used to regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs.Despite the potential benefit of using human ES cells in the treatment of disease, their use remains controversial because of their derivation from early embryos.

Bison in Yellowstone National Park have a food-limited carrying capacity that determines how their population grows. If the population grows too large, some bison will either starve or migrate to search for more food. The park is able to support a maximum population of 4,500 bison. Park conservation officials must watch the population and prevent the bison from overpopulating, since they would migrate to nearby farms, causing agricultural damage and creating hazards to drivers. The bison begin to migrate when the population reaches 4,000 because of competition for food. If the current population size of bison is 3,652 and the maximum growth rate of the population is 0.28, calculate the population size after one year and determine whether the park will need to take measures to control the population.
A. The population will be 3,845 after a year. The bison will not pose a problem until the following year, and no conservation action will need to take place.
B. The population will be 4,675 after a year. Some bison will need to be removed to prevent migration, since they will surpass the resource availability.
C. The population will be 1,023 after a year, since the growth rate is too low. Conservation efforts will need to focus on increasing the bison population.
D. The population will be 4,500 after a year. The bison cannot exceed the carrying capacity, so they will stop reproducing. Some bison will need to be removed.

Answers

Answer:

A. The population will be 3,845 after a year. The bison will not pose a problem until the following year, and no conservation action will need to take place.

Explanation:

The exposed example refers to a population that exhibits a logistic growth model, Where the principal limiting factor is food availability

N is the total size of the populationNt the population size after a T timeK the carrying capacityr the population growth rate per capita

When N < K the population has not reached the maximum size that can be supported by the environment. It can increase in size.

When N = K the population has reached the maximum size that can be supported by the environment. It can not grow anymore. The population reached a maximum point delimited by available resources, such as food

When N > K the population has supered the maximum size that can be supported by the environment. It must decrease in size. because there are not enough resources.

To calculate the population size after one year, we need to use the following equation.

N t+1= Nt+rN(1-N/K)

Available data:

K = 4500

N = 3652

r = 0.28  

Nm= 4000

N/K = 3652/4500 = 0.8115

r.N = 0.28 x 3652 = 1022.56

N t+1= Nt+rN(1-N/K)

N t+1= 3652+1022.56(1-0.8115)

N t+1= 3652+1022.56(0.1885)

N t+1= 3652+192.753

N t+1= 3844.75

Which statement is true regarding the transmission of sex-linked traits in a population?
O Males cannot carry recessive alleles for sex-linked traits.
O Males cannot express dominant alleles on the X chromosome.
O Males cannot express recessive alleles on the X chromosome.
O Males cannot pass alleles for sex-linked traits to their daughters.

Answers

Answer: none of the statements are true

Explanation: Males can have a recessive copy of a X-linked gene, and can pass that on in the X containing gamete and so pass it on to daughters,  but not to male offspring. Males will express whichever allele, dominant or recessive that they carry.

able to predict the risk of genetic diseases and understand the process of
inheritance. Which of the following statements best describes the process of
using the genetic code to produce polypeptides (proteins)?
Translation is used to produce a strand of RNA and proteins from a single strand of DNA.
O RNA produces a strand of DNA through transcription, then the DNA builds a protein molecule
through translation
O A single strand of DNA is used to make mRNA using translation, then the mRNA provides the
template for producing a protein through transcription
O A single strand of DNA is used to produce mRNA through transcription, then translation provides

The last one. A single strand of DNA is used to produce mRNA through transcription, then translation provides the code for bonding amino acids to make a protein.

Explanation:

Educated guess, but also. Translation is the process by which mRNA is decoded and translated to produce a polypeptide sequence, otherwise known as a protein. This method of synthesizing proteins is directed by the mRNA and accomplished with the help of a ribosome, a large complex of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and proteins.

.. Which pair of organisms is most likely to have adaptations in common?

Answers

Answer: the 1st one

Explanation:

A grassland predator and prey, such as a cheetah and a zebra. Therefore correct option is (A).

What organisms have common adaptations?

The pair of organisms that is most likely to have adaptations in common is a pair of organisms that share similar environmental pressures or ecological niches. Organisms that occupy similar habitats, have similar diets, or face similar challenges are more likely to evolve similar adaptations over time.

For example, predatory animals such as lions, tigers, and leopards have evolved similar adaptations such as sharp claws, powerful jaws, and keen senses to help them catch prey. Similarly, desert-dwelling animals such as camels, kangaroo rats, and fennec foxes have adaptations such as the ability to conserve water, tolerate heat, and dig burrows in sandy soil to survive in their arid environments.

And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth. In all this voyage there died but one of the passengers, which was William Butten, a youth, servant to Samuel Fuller, when they drew near the coast.2Start of paragraph 2 of 13....3Start of paragraph 3 of 13Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element. And no marvel if they were thus joyful, seeing wise Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on the coast of his own Italy, as he affirmed, that he had rather remain twenty years on his way by land than pass by sea to any place in a short time, so tedious and dreadful was the same unto him.4Start of paragraph 4 of 13But here I cannot but stay and make a pause, and stand half amazed at this poor people's present condition; and so I think will the reader, too, when he well considers the same. Being thus passed the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before in their preparation (as may be remembered by that which went before), they had now no friends to welcome them nor inns to entertain or refresh their weatherbeaten bodies; no houses or much less towns to repair to, to seek for succor. It is recorded in Scripture as a mercy to the Apostle and his shipwrecked company, that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them, but these savage barbarians, when they met with them (as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise. And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruel and fierce storms, dangerous to travel to known places, much more to search an unknown coast. ...5Start of paragraph 5 of 13From Chapter 11: The Starving Time (Winter, 16201621)6Start of paragraph 6 of 13But that which was most sad and lamentable was, that in two or three months' time half of their company died, especially in January and February, being the depth of winter, and wanting houses and other comforts; being infected with the scurvy and other diseases which this long voyage and their inaccommodate condition had brought upon them. So as there died some times two or three of a day in the foresaid time, that of 100 and odd persons, scarce fifty remained. And of these, in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven sound persons who to their great commendations, be it spoken, spared no pains night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them. In a word, did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren; a rare example and worthy to be remembered. Two of these seven were Mr. William Brewster, their reverend Elder, and Myles Standish, their Captain and military commander, unto whom myself and many others were much beholden in our low and sick condition. And yet the Lord so upheld these persons as in this general calamity they were not at all infected either with sickness or lameness. ...
