Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is incomplete, I found a matching question online:

At the end of their biology unit, 7th grade students were asked to make a glossary of biological terms. Which student did the best job of defining the word "heredity"?​

A) Kendall- Heredity is the study of chromosomes and the genes that they contain.

B) Carla- Heredity is the passing of genetic information contained in chromosomes from one generation to the next.

C) Joseph- Heredity is the study of human characteristics passed down from parent to offspring.

D) Devon- Heredity is the reason that tall parents will usually have tall children.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Carla- Heredity is the passing of genetic information contained in chromosomes from one generation to the next. (B)

Explanation:

Heredity, also known as inheritance is the passing down of genetic traits and genetic information from parents to their offspring through reproduction (sexual or asexual), and this information is contained in DNA materials called chromosomes.

Carla's definition most appropriatly captures the context of genetics, while Kendall and Joseph rather defined "genetics", which is the study of heredity.

Devon did not give a definition, but rather an example.

How is a spark from touching a doorknob the same as a bolt of lightning

Answers

Explanation:

That little spark you get when you touch the doorknob is essentially a miniature lightning bolt. When rain clouds move through the air, they build up positive and negative electric charges (Figure 7). So clouds have static electricity too! And when enough charge builds up, electric charges jump between the cloud and the ground.

1. Match the organism with its correct anatomical function from the image above.

ORGANISMS -

-bird
-crocodile

ANATOMICAL FUNCTION-
-walking, and hopping
-swimming, walking/crawling
-flying, flapping wings
-using tools, picking up and holding objects
-swimming
-running, walking, jumping

Answers

Human - Using tools, picking up and holding objects

Whale - Swimming

Cat - Running, walking, jumping

Bat - Flying, flapping wings

Bird - Walking, and hopping

Crocodile - Swimming, walking/crawling

It was kind of confusing because both birds and bats fly and flap their wings, but birds also walk and hop, so this is correct

¿En cuál de los siguientes alimentos es posible encontrar una mayor cantidad de proteínas? A. Pera. B. Agua. C. Carne. D. Mantequilla.

Answers

Answer:

C. Carne  

Explanation:

La proteínas representan un macronutriente (al igual que lípidos y carbohidratos) fundamental para el organismo. El consumo de proteínas es clave en la dieta porque el organismo utiliza estas moléculas (o sus bloques de construcción, los aminoácidos) para construir diferentes estructuras celulares y llevar a cabo diversos procesos vitales tales como, por ejemplo, reparar y desarrollar tejidos, funciones endócrinas, defender al organismo de agentes patógenos infecciosos, etc. En un adulto, la ingesta diaria de proteína debe rondar del 15 al 35% del total de las calorías consumidas al día, lo cual representa aproximadamente de 0.8 a 1.3 gramos por cada kilogramo de peso corporal. La carne es un alimento que aporta un gran contenido de proteínas y también es fuente de vitaminas y minerales (es decir, micronutrientes). Otros alimentos ricos en proteínas incluyen, por ejemplo, huevos, leche, legumbres (arvejas, garbanzos, lentejas) y la soja.

Answers

Complete question:

Categorize the following situation as either a pre- or postzygotic isolating mechanism and then specify which type of pre- or postzygotic isolating mechanism it is.

A short hike through the Sandia Mountains from early spring to late summer will often reveal several different species of penstemon. The Rocky Mountain Penstemon blooms in the spring while the very similar inflated penstemon blooms in late summer. As a result, hybrids are rarely encountered.

Answer:

pre-zygotic isolating mechanismType: seasonal or temporal

Explanation:

There are different mechanisms of reproductive isolation. These are barriers that inhibit or interrupt the genetic flux between different species. These mechanisms are about the biological characters of each species that prevent the reproduction with other species.  

The reproductive isolation mechanisms might be either prezygotic or postzygotic.

Pre-copulatory or pre-zygotic: Ecological or due to habitat isolation; seasonal or temporal; Sexual or ethologic; Mechanical; Gamete incompatibility.  

  2. Post-copulatory o post-zygotic:

Hybrid inviabilityHybrid sterilityHybrid with diminished viability and or fertilityCytoplasmatic interactions.

The exposed situation is an example of prezygotic isolation due to seasonal or temporal barriers. Penstemon blooms in the spring, while the very similar inflated penstemon blooms in late summer. Probably, if they had the same reproductive season, they would produce hybrids. But as they are isolated by different reproductive seasons, they do not.  As they can not even fertilize, they are considered to be prezygotic isolated species.

In Gregor Mendel's study with the color or peas, which ones were dominant and which ones were recessive?

Answers

Answer:

The peas with the purple flowers were dominant and the peas with the white flowers were recessive.  

Explanation:

In Gregor Mendel's study, he studied pea plants with purple flowers and white flowers.  The purple flowers were dominant, and whenever the allele for a purple flower was present is was visible on the plant.  The white flowers were recessive because if an allele for a purple flower was present, then the flower was purple.  The flowers were only white if both alleles were for white flowers.  

7. If the diameter of the field of view when using the 4x objective is 3 mm, what is the area of the field of view when using the 4X, 10X, and 40X objectives

Answers

Answer:

Using 4X view =

1.767 x 4 = 7.068mm

Using  10X view

1.767 x 10 = 17.67mm

Using 40X view

1.767 x 40 = 70.68mm.

Explanation:

If the diameter when using 4x objective = 3mm

then the original diameter = 3/4 = 0.75 mm

The diameter of the field is 0.75 mm

Area of a circle = pie/4 x diameter square

pie = 22/7 or 3.14

diameter = 0.75

The area of the field

3.14 x 0.75 2 =

3.14 x 0.5625=

1.767mm.

The original area of the field = 1.767mm

Using 4X view =

1.767 x 4 = 7.068mm

Using  10X view

1.767 x 10 = 17.67mm

Using 40X view

1.767 x 40 = 70.68mm.

Can someone tell me what's the syllabus taught in American high schools, like in 10th grade? I'm not an American student and I'm just curious. (didn't mean to sound creepy). thank you so much.​

Answers

Before higher education, American students attend elementary and high school for a combined total of 12 years. These years are known as the period from first grade to twelfth grade.

At the approximate age of six, American children begin elementary school, which is exclusively called “elementary school” (elementary school). They attend this school for five or six years and then go on to high school.

High schools are made up of two programs: the first is called "middle school" or "high school" (middle school) and the second is called "high school" (high school). A diploma or certificate is awarded upon graduation from high school. Upon graduation from high school (twelfth grade), American students can go on to college or university. Studies at a college or university are known as "higher education."

A protein extracted from a dinosaur bone is similar to the protein found in birds. How does this discovery provide genetic evidence that dinosaurs and birds are closely related?
A. It suggests they ate similar foods.
B. It suggests they had similar DNA sequences.
C. It suggests both existed during the same time in history.
D. It suggests both had bones made of protein.

Answers

Answer:

It suggests they had similar DNA sequences.

Explanation:

Answer:B

Ancient protein dating back 80 million years to the Cretaceous geologic period has been preserved in bone fragments and soft tissues of a hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur. The new findings support earlier results suggesting that collagen protein survived in the bones of a well preserved Tyrannosaurus rex, and offer robust new evidence supporting previous conclusions that birds and dinosaurs are evolutionarily related.
