Answer:
X is the concentration of the substance being measured and Y is the response from the instrument that is being used to measure
Explanation:
A calibration curve is the plot of known concentration of substances where x is the increasing known concentration and Y is the response, typically "absorption" taken from the instrument that is used for measuring. This curve is then used to find out the concentration of the unknown substance by using it's absorbance and comparing it with the calibration curve. For example:
Concentrations and absorbance readings are as follows
0.5mg/mL=10 nm
1.0mg/mL=15nm
1.5mg/mL=20nm
2.0mg/mL=25nm
This data is plotted on a calibration curve. Next we measure the unknown substance the absorption is 20nm. We can suggest that the concentration is 1.5 mg/mL. If there are readings that fall inbetwen values then the formulat to calculate the right concentration would be y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Linear regression uses the modification of the slope formula y= a + bx to best see how the data of the water samples would fit on the slope of the calibration curve. X is the independent variable , b is the slope of the line and a is the y-intercept.
Extrapolation would be the action of calculating data that are outside the calibration curve, assuming the trend would continue.

In humans, XO individuals are females with Turner syndrome and XXY individuals are males with Klinefelter syndrome. Red green color blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Suppose a colorblind man and a normal woman with no family history of color blindness married and had a daughter who was colorblind and had Turner syndrome.
1. Which event could have given rise to this offspring?
A) Nondisjunction at meiosis II in the mother.
B) Nondisjunction at meiosis I in the father.
C) Nondisjunction at meiosis l in the mother.
D) Nondisjunction at meiosis II in the father.
E) Nondisjunction at either meiosis I or meiosis II in the mother.
Answer:
The correct answer is option E) "Nondisjunction at either meiosis I or meiosis II in the mother".
Explanation:
Nondisjunction is a phenomena at which chromosomes are not properly separated during anaphase. This can either happen at meiosis I or meiosis II during oogenesis. Nondisjunction would explain the XO chromosomic condition of the daughter with Turner syndrome as well as the X-linked recessive allele of the red green color blindness. Nondisjunction happened in the mother because the father could not inherited an X-linked condition.

Answer:
goldfish
Explanation:
There are many organism which shows some relative character with other organisms.
Kingsnakes and goldfish has some similarities that makes them closest relative. They both are cold blooded and have common phylum that is Chordata. They both are vertebrates and their spinal cord is enclosed and protected by series of bones.
some species of kingsnakes such as Mexican milk snake and red milk snake and goldfish have posses coloration and patterning which protect them from invasion of other organisms. They both have scales in their body, though the scales are not homologous.
Hence, the correct option is goldfish.
Huntington’s disease: Huntington’s disease is a disease in which certain parts of the brain waste away; symptoms usually begin later in life. In a community in Venezuela, an allele for Huntington’s disease (represented by the letter H) is completely dominant to the allele for no Huntington’s disease (represented by a lowercase h). The three possible parental genotypes are HH, Hh, and hh. There are six possible crossings that can be made between these genotypes (for example, HHxHH, HHxHh, etc.). Show the probabilities of the genotypes and phenotypes in the F1 generation from all six possible crossings. In real human families, would you see offspring in proportions equivalent to these probabilities? Why or why not?
Answer:
Regarding Huntington's disease, it can be said that it is an inherited disease with an autosomal dominant character, so it is enough that one of the children inherits one of these characters to manifest this neurodegenerative disease, it is considered that the pattern is usually 50% of the total of children of sick parents can suffer it, however if both parents are carriers the number rises leading to 100% of the children affected, on the contrary if no parent has the dominant gene and are homozygous recessive, neither your children will suffer the disease
The possibilities are the following:
Parent 1, inheritance pattern: Hh * hh, the possible gametes for this cross-linking are H, H, h, h, offspring; Hh, Hh, hh, hh 50% of the children could be sick
Parents 2, inheritance pattern: hh * hh, the possible gametes for this cross-linking are h, h, h, h. the offspring will be; hh, hh. no sick child
Parent 3, inheritance pattern: HH * HH, the possible gametes for this cross-linking are H, H, H, H, the offspring will be HH, HH, all children may be sick, 100%
parents 4, inheritance pattern: Hh * Hh, the possible gametes for this cross-linking are h, H, h, H. the descendants will be HH, Hh, Hh, hh 50% of sick children
Parents 5, inheritance pattern: Hh * hh, the possible gametes for this interbreeding are H, h ,, offspring will be Hh all sick children
Parent 6, inheritance pattern: Hh * Hh the possible gametes for this cross-linking are H, h, the descendants will be Hh, the heterozygous descendants will have the disease.

Gene Expression word bank! Help please!!
Answer:
(isn't copied, my own work from my own assiangment)
Explanation:
Gene expression starts in the DNA, which is located in the nucleus of a cell, an enzyme called RNA polymerase copies the gene’s DNA and creates an RNA sequence into an RNA transcript that complements the copied DNA. Then the RNA sequence is modified through a protein that will be splicing the RNA strand, this protein is called the spliceosome. The spliceosome takes out introns and pieces together exon a to create a mature messenger RNA(mRNA). Once the mRNA is created, it will transport to the cytoplasm of the cell. Then the ribosome protein and ribosomal RNA’s will translate the mRNA into amino acids, each amino acid is brought to the ribosome by an RNA called transfer RNA(tRNA), then it is added to a growing polypeptide chain. Once the polypeptide is complete, the chain is folded and made into a three-dimensional working protein.

Trait X is dominant to x. if you cross a homozygous dominant parent with a heterozygous parent , what is the chance that the offspring will express the recessive trait?
Answer:
50% chances
Explanation:
Here trait X is dominant to x, so alleles of homozygous dominant parent will be XX and alleles for heterozygous parent will be Xx.
When homozygous dominant parent will be crossed with heterozygous parent, the result will be XX, XX, Xx and Xx. There are total four offspring out them two offspring express the recessive trait.
Hence, there are 50% chances that the offspring will express the recessive trait.

Autotrophic nutrition does NOT occur in
(A) moss
(B) zooplankton
(C) tomato plants
(D) blue-green algae
Answer:
(B) Zooplankton
Explanation:
Zooplankton are heterotropic plankton. They consume Phytoplankton which are autotrophic plankton.
Autotrophic mode of nutrition does not occur in zooplankton.
AUTOTROPHS:
Autotrophic mode of nutrition is a specific type of nutrition in which certain organisms synthesize their own food, hence, do not depend on other organisms. Organisms that perform autotrophy are called AUTOTROPHS. They include green plants, algae, lower plants like mosses etc. The two types of autotrophy are photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Zooplankton is an animal-like protist and hence cannot undergo autotrophic mode of nutrition.Learn more at: https://brainly.com/question/21582881?referrer=searchResults
With age, somatic cells are thought to accumulate genomic "scars" as a result of the inaccurate repair of double-strand breaks by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEI). Estimates based on the frequency of breaks in primary human fibroblasts suggest that by age 70 each human somatic cell may carry some 2000 NHEl-induced mutations due to inaccurate repair. If these mutations were distributed randomly around the genome, how many genes would you expect to be affected? Would you expect cell function to be compromised?'vVhy or why not? (Assume that 2% of the genome-l.5% coding and 0'5% regulatory-is crucial information.)
Answer:
The size of the human genome is 3.3 * 10^9 bp, as mentioned the coding and regulatory sequences of DNA is 2 percent of the entire genome, that is, 3.3 * 10^9 bp * 2%, which will be equal to 6.6 * 10^7 bp.
Let us assume that there is equal distribution of the 2000 non-homologous end joining induced mutations. Thus, 1 NHEJ shall takes place after every 3.3 * 10^9 bp / 2000, which will be equal to 1.65 * 10^6 bp in genome.
Now, the number of NHEJ in the regulatory and coding region would be,
6.6 * 10^7 bp / 1.65 * 10^6 bp = 40
A maximum disruption of two genes, that is, one at each end can take place by each NHEJ. Thus, the number of genes getting affected by 40 NHEJ would be 80, that is, about 0.38 percent of the entire genes. About 21000 genes encodes protein in human genome.
Yes, the cell function would be compromised as there will be a loss of gene, and at the same time its products, that is, the regulatory RNAs and protein would drastically influence the activity of the cells.
Notch is a receptor protein displayed on the surface of certain cells in developing fruit fly embryos. Notch’s ligand is a membrane-bound protein called Delta that is displayed on the surface of adjacent cells. When Notch is activated by its ligand, the intracellular tail of the Notch protein becomes separated from the rest of the protein. This allows the intracellular tail to move to the cell’s nucleus and alter the expression of specific genes. Which of the following statements best explains Delta’s role in regulating cell communication through the Notch signaling pathway?
A) Delta transmits a chemical signal to all the cells of a developing embryo.
B) Delta allows the cells of a developing embryo to communicate without making direct contact.
C) Delta restricts cell communication to short distances within a developing embryo.
D) Delta determines which cells in a developing embryo express the gene that encodes the Notch protein.
Answer:
