Summary of four postulates of the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics:
1. Living organisms or their component parts tend to increase in size.
2. Production of new organ is resulted from a new need.
3. Continued use of an organ makes it more developed, while disuse of an organ results in degeneration.
4. Acquired characters (or modifications) developed by individuals during their own lifetime are inheritable and accumulate over a period of time resulting a new species.
Explanation:
1. New needs:
Every living organism is found in some kind of environment. The changes in the environmental factors like light, temperature, medium, food, air etc. or migration of animal lead to the origin of new needs in the living organisms, especially animals. To fulfill these new needs, the living organisms have to exert special efforts like the changes in habits or behaviour.
2. Use and disuse of organs:
The new habits involve the greater use of certain organs to meet new needs, and the disuse or lesser use of certain other organs which are of no use in new conditions. This use and disuse of organs greatly affect the form, structure and functioning of the organs.
Continuous and extra use of organs make them more efficient while the continued disuse of some other organs lead to their degeneration and ultimate disappearance. So, Lamarckism is also called “Theory of use and disuse of organs.”
So the organism acquires certain new characters due to direct or indirect environmental effects during its own life span and are called Acquired or adaptive characters.
3. Inheritance of acquired characters:
Lamarck believed that acquired characters are inheritable and are transmitted to the offsprings so that these are born fit to face the changed environmental conditions and the chances of their survival are increased.
4. Speciation:
Lamarck believed that in every generation, new characters are acquired and transmitted to next generation, so that new characters accumulate generation after generation. After a number of generations, a new species is formed.
A body of fresh water is shown below.
Which point in this body of water is most likely to have no plants growing?

C. Point A
D. Point B
Answer:
B. Point D
Explanation:
I just took the quiz
In the given image, on point D, it is not possible to have any plant. The correct option is B.
What are the requirements of plants to grow?To grow plants require enough sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. By using all these, plant perform photosynthesis by which it can survive.
As point D in the given image has no light sources, as sunlight cannot penetrate deep into the water, it is impossible to have growing plants here.
Thus, the correct option is B.

In working with Drosphilia it is common to use a balancer stock to maintain mutations of interest. The balancer chromosomes are generally carrying multiple inversions on them. What effect would the inversions have on meiosis
Answer:
Fusion or pairing does not occur.
Explanation:
Inversions mutation leads to lowered fertility due to production of unbalanced gametes in the meiosis cell division. Chromosome inversions have no effect on mitosis, but they has affect meiosis because inversions changes the gametes which is only present in meiosis. If an inversion present is in the heterozygous condition, pairing of chromosomes cannot occur in a simple linear fashion due to change of sizes. But if the inverted chromosome segment has the proper size so it can paired with each other.

A suspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. To follow this process by monitoring the release of CO214, at which positions in the glucose molecule would the C14 label need to be incorporated
Answer:
carbons 3 and 4
Explanation:
Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) pathway capable of converting one mole of glucose (C6H12O6) into two moles of ethanol (C2H5OH) and two moles of carbon dioxide (CO2), producing during this process two moles of ATP. The overall chemical reaction is as follow: C6H12O6 (glucose) >> 2 C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2 CO2. During this process (fermentation), energy is obtained from the glycolysis process by which each glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules (2 CH3COCOO−). Pyruvic acid is an organic acid that ionizes to produce a hydrogen ion and a molecule of pyruvate. Subsequently, this pyruvate is then converted into ethanol and CO2, generating NAD+, i.e., the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD, which is required for glycolysis (and therefore to produce ATP). Moreover, dismutation refers to the redox reaction by which one compound with an intermediate oxidation state converts into two compounds. In consequence, the CO2 generated during fermentation arises from the dismutation of pyruvic acid. During this process, the major source of CO2 is carbon 3 (C3) and carbon 4 (C4) of the glucose as a result of the dismutation of pyruvate, and thereby these positions in the glucose molecule would the C14 label need to be incorporated.

Process starts with a diploid cell Homologous pairs of chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate f. End result is four haploid cells that are genetically different from each other and the parent cell g. Duplicated chromosomes line up Individually on the metaphase plate in a diploid cel h. End result is two diploid cells that are genetically identical to each other and the parent cell Mitosis Melosis Both mitosis and meiosis
Answer:
Mitosis:
A single division occurs, separating sister chromatids
End result is two diploid cells that are genetically identical to each other and the parent cell
Meiosis:
The first division separates homologous pairs; the second division separates sister chromatids
Homologous chromosomes pair up and form chiasmata
Homologous pairs of chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate
Daughter cells contain recombinant chromosomes
End result is four haploid cells that are genetically different from each other and the parent cell
Mitosis and Meiosis:
Chromosomes duplicate during interphase
Process starts with a diploid cell
Duplicated chromosomes line up Individually on the metaphase plate in a diploid cell
Explanation:
Mitosis is the division of vegetative cells while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. Both divisions start with diploid parental cells but while the daughter cells in mitosis are also diploid, those of meiosis are haploid. This is why mitosis is referred to as equational division while meiosis is known as reductional division.
A cell that will undergo mitosis or meiosis would first have its genetic materials duplicated during interphase in addition to the synthesis of other important biochemicals such as proteins. Mitosis involves just a single division of the sister chromatids with two genetically identical daughter cells who are also clones of the parent cells resulting.
Meiosis, on the other hand, involves two divisions - the first one happens to separate homologous chromosome pairs while the second division separates sister chromatids just like in mitosis. During the early stage of meiosis, homologous chromosomes synapsed through the formation of a synaptonemal complex to form tetrads. Thereafter, synapsed chromosomes exchange chromosomal segments at a point known as chiasmata. All these happen at the prophase stage of meiosis I. The paired homologous chromosomes are then lined up at metaphase where they are engaged by the spindle fibers.
Meiosis II and mitosis are more or less the same with the chromosomes condensing at the prophase and the formation of metaphase plates at the metaphase. Sister chromatids are pulled apart and they migrate to the opposite poles at the anaphase and telophase.

Products of DNA replication
DNA replication occurs during Interphase. What Image shows the products of replication. If the parent strands are blue and the new strands are red? Click the correct box.
Answer:
The red one.
Explanation:
The red colour strands are the products of replication in which new DNA molecules are formed. The main purpose of replication is to produce extra set of DNA molecules for the new cell so that each cell receives extra molecules of DNA. Due to DNA replication, the cell has two types of DNA i.e. parent strands and new strands. The parent strands are blue in colour whereas the new strands are red in colour.

Respuesta corta: Produciendo un sentimiento de satisfacción.
Explanation
En el texto se hace referencia a una investigación para analizar la relación entre las redes sociales y el cerebro de los adolescentes. Para ello los investigadores utilizaron imágenes magnéticas del cerebros de los 32 adolescentes estudiados. Una vez terminaron el estudio se dan cuenta que "una estructura del cerebro, llamada núcleo accumbens, se activa más cuantos más likes tuviera una imagen". Además, el autor del texto agrega que "Esto es interesante si se tiene en cuenta que este órgano nervioso es el responsable de que experimentemos momentos de placer intensos al ganar un premio, comer helado, etc". De acuerdo a lo anterior se puede interpretar que las redes sociales influyen en el cerebro de los adolescentes debido a que produce en ellos un sentimiento de satisfacción o reconocimiento a recibir "likes" de otras personas. Además, este sentimiento se puede interpretar como aprobación por parte de las demás personas.
