There have been a number of studies indicating that schizophrenia is a complex genetic disorder. Which of the following observations are most consistent with this hypothesis?
1. Siblings of individuals with schizophrenia have an elevated risk of developing schizophrenia.
2. In monozygotic twins, if one twin has schizophrenia, it is very rare that the other is affected.
3. Malnutrition in utero and certain infections may increase risk of schizophrenia.
4. Schizophrenia follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. and 4.

Explanation:

1 explains that siblings may have it since they have the same genetics and 4 explains that it is a autosomal recessive trait and follows a pattern genetically.

What is NOT an effect of growth hormone?

a. Growth hormone directly stimulates osteoblasts in the periosteum to promote appositional growth.
b. Growth hormone increases the rate of mitosis in the epiphyseal plate of growing bones.
c. Growth hormone promotes the closure of the epiphyseal plate.
d. Growth hormone increases the activity of osteogenic cells.​

Answers

C. Growth hormone promotes the closure of the epiphyseal plate.

The closure of the epiphyseal plate is NOT an effect of growth hormone (option c).

The epiphyseal plate is a layer of hyaline cartilage between the epiphyses and metaphyses at the ends of long bones.

The epiphyseal plate is completely closed when bone growth is completed (around age 18 to 21 years).

Different hormones (i.e., testosterone and estrogen) released at puberty initiate the closure of epiphyseal plates.

In conclusion, the closure of the epiphyseal plate is NOT an effect of growth hormone (option c).

Antennae development in ants is thought to be a trait controlled by maternal effect. In ants, zig-zag coils are dominant to curly coils. Assume that a female develops zig-zag coils. What can be determined about inheritance of this trait in her family?
a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae.
b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae.
c. This female carries the zig-zag allele
d. This female's offspring will have zig-zag antennae.

Answers

Answer:

a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae.

b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae.

Explanation:

Available data:

Antennae development ⇒ controlled by maternal effectZig-zag coils are dominantCurly coils are recessiveA female develops zig-zag coils

Maternal effect: Refers to the influence of the “environment provided by the mother” on the progeny phenotype. The mother´s genotype directly determines the progeny phenotype. Even though the progeny has a different genotype, it is irrelevant, as well as the father´s genotype or phenotype. This means that no matter what is the genotype of the offspring, all of them will express the same phenotype as their mother. The maternal effect is commonly seen in insects and might be seen in some mammals and plants.

So, if a female has zig-zag coils, this means that the mother also has zig-zag antennae and that all the brothers and sisters of this female ant have zig-zag antennae, independently of their genotype.

a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The trait is inherited from the mother.  

b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The whole progeny will express sig-zag antennae.

c. This female carries the zig-zag allele ⇒ Not necessarily.

d. This female's offspring will have zig-zag antennae ⇒ Depends on it´s genotype

3. A bacterial isolate from a urine specimen was grown in culture, Gram stained, and then tested for its ability to ferment sugars and hydrolyze various subtrates. What approach to bacterial identification is this an example of

Answers

Answer:

Phenotypic approach for bacterial identification

Explanation:

Bacterial identification can be done by conventional methods, which are based on phenotypical characteristics. These methods are much affordable and reasonable.

Phenotypical identification is based on bacteria´s observable characteristics, such as their morphology, development, and biochemical/metabolic properties.

It is important to consider that these methods do not provide absolute certainty. They can only indicate the genera or species to which the bacteria under study may belong.

Some primary evidence is usually used for fast bacteria identification:

Gram staining, morphology, growth at different media or different incubation atmospheres, glucose fermentation, spores production, motion, aerobiosis/anaerobiosis, among others.  

Knowing that the bacteria in the exposed example was isolated and grown in culture, then Gram-stained and tested for biochemical reaction, we can assume that the approach for its identification is phenotypic.

Answer:

Take two potted plants and provide equal conditions to both.

Explanation:

Two potted plants i.e. one is placed near the nuclear accident site while on the other hand, the other is placed far away from the nuclear accident. Provide equal conditions to both plants so that we can find out the hypothesis that  the frequency of mutations decreases with the organisms distance from the source of radiation. The result shows that the potted plant that is located near to the nuclear accident site having high frequency of mutation as compared to other plant due to the radiation present at that location.

If 622 water molecules were removed during the synthesis of a specific polysaccharide, how many monomers were joined together to make this molecule? need help please and thank you ​

Answers

Answer:

623 monomers

Explanation:

In a dehydration synthesis reaction, one water molecule is removed for every bond that is created between 2 monomers.

Linking 3 monomers together would remove 2 water molecules.

Following this pattern, the number of water molecules removed will always be one less than the number of monomers that were joined together.

So, if 622 water molecules were removed, then 623 monomers were joined together.

The answer is 623 monomers.

Answer:

14. (a) Pb

15. (d) Al

16. (A) increases

Explanation:

14.

In the reactivity series of metals an element can displace another element from a compound if and only if it is not placed below that metal, as the reactivity of metals decreases when moving from top to bottom- if a metal is placed below Hydrogen it means that it is less reactive than Hydrogen and hence cannot displace Hydrogen from its compound.

All options except A are placed below Hydrogen in the reactivity series, so they wont displace Hydrogen from its compound, but option (a) that is Pb can do so as it is above Hydrogen in the reactivity series.

15.

Al is placed below Mg in the reactivity series and hence cannot displace Mg from its compound.

16.

The reactivity of metals increases down the GROUP.

[CAUTION :- We were talking 'bout REACTIVITY SERIES in the top 2 questions where reactivity decreases down the group, but we're talkin' 'bout GROUPS of the periodic table here, where reactivity increases down the group.]

The size of metals increases down the group causing their valence electrons to drift far from the nucleus so that they can be lost easily. The metals have a property of losing electrons so the more electrons it can lose more will be its reactivity.

Hence, reactivity increases down the group.

The pedigree below concerns the autosomal recessive disease phenylketonuria (PKU). The couple marked A and B are contemplating having a baby but are concerned about the baby having PKU. What is the probability of the first child having PKU

Answers

Answer: Hello your question some missing data attached below is the complete question

answer:

P( first child having PKU )  0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5

Explanation:

The pedigree father has PKU ( pp ) ( From the top right )

pedigree mother = PP

The possible resultant progeny = Pp  

Resultant progeny marries non-carrier  ( Pp x PP ) = PP , PP, pP, pP

Hence B is either  ; PP ( non carrier ) or Pp ( carrier )

From left

one of the Resultant progeny = pp ( affected ). this simply means pedigree parents where both carriers or sufferers i.e. Pp or pp

Hence A is either ; Pp or pp

The probability of their first child having PKU

= PP x Pp = PP, Pp, PP, Pp ( probability = 0 in this case )

= Pp x Pp = PP, Pp, pP, pp ( probability = 1/4 * 100 = 25% )

= Pp x pp = Pp, Pp, pp, pp ( probability = 2/4 * 100 = 50% )

P( first child having PKU )  0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5

lets denote dominant Gene = PP,  recessive Gene = pp

Explanation:

Answer to 6:

The probability of two offspring with the same genotype is very low because due to recombination between the chromosomes of the father and mother each gamete has a different composition of genetic material. The only chance that they share the genotype is if they were zygotical twins.
