apparent within a population. There are certain conditions which are the basis for natural
selection. Which of the following examples best represents the adaptation of a species to its
environment.

A. Some members of a garter snake species are resistant to a toxin produced by one of its food sources and will successfully
reproduce and pass the resistant trait on to their offspring

B. species of crab is living and reproducing successfully near hot hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean,
while other crab species are unable to survive there.

C. Male Birds of Paradise inherit brilliant colors which they displayed in elaborate poses or dances in order to catch the
attention of a female mate.

What are two ways different types of organisms obtain glucose?

Answers

Answer:

Photosynthesis and respiration are two ways organisms obtain glucose.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis – process in which autotrophs use energy from the sun to produce their own food.

Respiration – process in which animals and plants use oxygen in the air to release energy found in glucose.

Activity A (continued from previous page) 4. Observe: Wait until the numbers are not changing very much. What do you notice about the solute concentrations inside and outside of the cell? This situation is called dynamic equilibrium​

Answers

Answer:

Yes, dynamic equilibrium is present in the cell.

Explanation:

In dynamic equilibrium​, the concentration of solute remain the same due to equal flowing of solutes inside and outside the cell so there is no change occurs inside the cell, the cell maintain same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell. Dynamic equilibrium​ is a type of equilibrium in which the reactants and products formed at the same rate and no change occurs inside the reaction. In the cell, homeostasis is responsible for maintaining equilibrium in the cell so no change occurs inside the cell.

When a doctor needs to give someone a medication intravenously (through a vein), they dilute that medicine in a saline solution (salty water). Why would it be a bad idea for a doctor to mix the medicine with plain water? (Hint: Osmosis is the answer, but you’ll need to explain why.)

Answers

Answer:

it is because the blood cells will have too much water in them and they will burst.

Explanation:

there will be less salt inside the cells so all the water will enter the cells. if there is also salt present outside of the cell then the water and the electrolites(salt) will equalize between the inside and the outside of the cell.

Question 28
A person who has PKU, a recessive genetic disorder,
А
inherited the allele for the trait from one parent.
B
inherited the allele for the trait from both parents.
С
is heterozygous for the trait.
ОО
D
will not pass the allele for the trait to his or her offspring.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

In order for one to have a recessive trait, both parents must carry the trait.

XX Xy= XX XX Xy Xy

Xy Xy= XX Xy Xy YY

XX XX= XX XX XX XX

yy yy= yy yy yy yy

Only the options in which both parents have the allele can pass it on. Only if there is no dominant allele will the trait be expressed, which can only be a yy recessive (since heterozygous would be dominant). Therefore, he will pass the allele on to his/her offspring.

Why do heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells?
Heart cells have different DNA than skin cells.
Heart cells express different genes than skin cells.
Heart cells reproduce by cell differentiation.
Heart cells reproduce by mitosis.

Answers

Answer:

Heart cells express different genes than skin cells. B

Heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells because heart cells express different genes than skin cells.

Humans as multicellular organisms possess different cells in our body system. These cells perform varying functions in the body.

The different functions performed by different cells is attributed to the cellular differentiation. Cellular differentiation is the process whereby an undifferentiated cell becomes specialized.

The cellular differentiation occurs due to the difference in gene expression in each specific cell. All cells contain the same DNA sequence, however, they are expressed differently.

Therefore, heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells because heart cells express different genes than skin cells.

Club foot is a rare disease due to congenital skeletal abnormalities, both genetic and nongenetic factors are thought to be responsible for club foot. A family in which club foot was inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with reduced penetrance was identified in 2008. It was found that a mutation in the PITXI gene that caused club foot in this family. Through DNA testing, they determined that 11 people in the family carried the PITXI mutation, but only 8 of these people had club foot.

What is the penetrance of the PIXTI mutation in this family?

Answers

Answer:

72.72%

Explanation:

The Penetrance of the PIXTI mutation in this family can be represented as

The Penetrance represents the percentage of people who show/have the disease

family size = 11

number of people with the disease = 8

Penetrance of PIXTI in the family can be calculated as  = 8/11 * 100

                   = 0.7272  * 100

                   = 72.72%

The remaining 27.38 % are just carriers of the PITXI gene

Exponential growth may occur in environments where there are few individuals and plentiful resources, but when the number of individuals becomes large enough, resources will be depleted, slowing the growth rate.

Using established recombinant DNA technology, you insert a gene from a human liver cell into a bacterium. The bacterium then expresses a protein corresponding to the inserted DNA. To your dismay, you discover that the protein produced is useless and is found to contain many more amino acids than does the protein made by the eukaryotic cell.
Assuming there is no mutation in the human gene, explain why this happened.
a. bacteria do not use splicing to edit RNA after its transcription.
b. rRNAs in bacterial cells contain more nucleotides than in eukaryotic cells.
c. bacterial RNA contains less stop codons.
d. amino acids in bacterial cells are specified by double codes.

Which cell specimen is a prokaryote?
A Cell 1
B Cell 2
C Cell 3

Answers

Answer:

Cell 3

Explanation:

One of the unique main characteristics that differentiates a prokaryote from a eukaryote is the absence of presence of nucleus in their cell, and where their DNA is found.

In prokaryotic cells, nucleus is absence. The DNA of prokaryote is not found in a nucleus, rather, it is contained in a region referred to as nucleoid.

Therefore, the specimen that does not have DNA in nucleus is definitely a prokaryote.

Cell 3 is a prokaryote.
