Leukemia
A type of cancer which affects the production and function of blood cells. This causes swollen lymph nodes, recurrent nosebleeds, tiredness, frequent infections, weight loss, bleeding, and bone pain. Leukemia symptoms vary, depending on the type of leukemia. Common signs and symptoms of leukemia include:
Swollen lymph nodes especially in the neck and armpits
Experience pain in bones
Night sweats - excessive sweating, especially at Night
Weakness and fatigue
Rapid weight loss
Red spots on the skin
Bleeding and bruising easily
Fever or chills
Frequent infections
Causes
The exact cause is not known. Hereditary and environmental factors may play a role in developing the disease.
The risk factors include:
Mutations in the DNA are frequently a major cause.
Sometimes chromosome translocation can also promote activation of oncogenes (the cancer inducing genes) and this can lead to disease progression.
Exposure to certain chemicals and radiation can also induce cancer.

You are out hiking and walk past a great outcrop of granite that is part of an exposed batholith. Looking closer you notice pieces of sandstone within the batholith. Which rock is OLDER, the granite or the sandstone?
Answer:
Sandstone is younger than the granite rocks
Explanation:
As the rocks layer found at the bottom are the oldest and closer to the ground surface are the younger. This is due to the law of superimposition and as when looking at the outcrops you will notice pieces of sandstone within the batholith that indicates that the base is formed by granite and is later cemented by sandstone rock6. The probability that the two offspring you produced share every genotype in common is extremely low. Explain why they are likely to be different.
Answer:
Sexual reproduction is able to generate genetic variation in offspring by 1-independent assortment and 2-recombination during meiosis, and 3-random fertilization.
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that increases the amount of genetic variation in offspring by three main mechanisms: independent assortment of homologous chromosome pairs and recombination during meiosis, and random union of gametes during fertilization. First, sexual reproduction is associated with the independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis, i.e., the orientation of homologous chromosome pairs is a random process that is different for every cell that undergoes meiosis. In consequence, chromosomes assort randomly into gametes, thereby the segregation of alleles of a gene pair is independent of the segregation of another set of alleles of a different gene (as stated in the law of independent assortment). Second, sexual reproduction generates genetic variation by recombination, which is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis I (prophase I). This genetic process (recombination) is able to generate new alleles in offspring. Third, sexual reproduction also involves the random union of two haploids (n) gametes during fertilization, which results in the formation of a diploid (2n) zygote that develops into a new individual. In humans, the sperm cell has 8 million possible (2²³) chromosome combinations, which fertilizes an ovum cell that also has approximately 8 million chromosome combinations, thereby producing a tremendous genetic variation in offspring (around 64 trillion possible zygote combinations).

Explanation:
Which of the cardiac cell characteristics describes the
ability to initiate an electrical impulse?
Answer:
The correct answer is: automaticity.
Explanation:
Cardiac muscle has several properties. These properties are: automaticity (given by the pacemaker cells), conductivity (meaning that each cardiac cell can transmit the electrical impulse to the next cardiac cells), contractility (like other types of muscles, cardiac muscle cells can contract), and irritability (each cell can contract on its own without the external stimuli).
Cardiac pacemaker cells are the ones with the capacity to initiate the electrical impulse by creating rhythmic impulses called action potentials, and thus directly regulating heart rate.
Pacemaker cells are located in the sinoatrial (SA) node, in the upper portion of the right atrial wall. In these cells, depolarization of the cardiac muscle begins, and the electrical impulse generated by it is transmitted to the atrioventricular (AV) node, the His bundle and then the Purkinje fibers - this order of events is necessary for the correct contraction of the heart to occur. All of these structures are part of the Conduction System of the heart.
Na + Cl2 --> NaCl if you were given 15 grams of sodium (with excess chlorine) and asked to determine the amount of NaCl that would be produced (in grams), how would you go about doing it. Be as specific as possible and include numerical values when necessary.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 38.15 gm of NaCl.
Explanation:
Write the balanced equation for this reaction of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl₂) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl):
2Na + Cl₂ —> 2NaCl
the mass of Na and the mass of NaCl :
Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol
In the balanced equation = 2 × 23 = 46 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5
= 58.5 g/mol
similarly in balanced equation = 2 × 58.5 = 117 g
From the balanced equation above,
46 g of Na reacted to produce 117 g of NaCl.
By converting it to 15 grams of Na.
Therefore,15 g of Na will react to produce = (15 × 117)/46 = 38.15 g of NaCl.
Thus, 38.15 g of Na
Cystic fibrosis is most common in individuals of Northern European descent, affecting 1 in 3200 newborns. Assuming that these alleles are at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the disease-causing CFTR alleles in this population
Answer:
0.0177
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, thereby an individual must have both copies of the CFTR mutant alleles to have this disease. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous dominant genotype (normal phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive genotype (cystic fibrosis phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (individuals that carry one copy of the CFTR mutant allele). Moreover, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the dominant 'p' allele frequency and the recessive 'q' allele frequency is equal to 1. In this case, we can observe that the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive condition for cystic fibrosis (q²) is 1/3200. In consequence, the frequency of the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis can be calculated as follows:
1/3200 = q² (have two CFTR mutant alleles) >>
q = √ (1/3200) = 1/56.57 >>
- Frequency of the CFTR allele q = 1/56.57 = 0.0177
- Frequency of the dominant 'normal' allele p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.0177 = 0.9823

The Doppler Effect talks about the frequency of sound and light as the source and person move. So, When light waves are emitted by a moving source, scientists can measure = the Doppler effect.
Cosmic microwave background radiation has the word "cosmic" in it, so you can assume it has to do with space automatically. There is radiation in space too, so I'm pretty sure that The extremely low temperature of outer space can be explained as = cosmic microwave background radiation.
Particle accelerators are these big machines that usually smash protons/electrons together, so Scientists smash together tiny bits of matter using = particle accelerators.
And now, by process of elimination and because the Big Bang Theory talks about the creation of Earth, we know that Scientists extrapolate backwards in time to derive = the Big Bang Theory.
ii) Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?
Answer:
here's your answer
Explanation:
the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.
Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

The ability of the human body to break down the red color in beets is controlled by an autosomal dominant allele. The inability is recessive, detected by red coloration of the urine (we will call this phenotype 'secretor'). If a nonsecretor woman with a secretor father has children with a nonsecretor man who in a previous relationship had a secretor daughter, what is the probability that their first child will be...
Solution :
It is given that a woman is a nonsecretor but the father of that woman is a secretor. It means that the father's genotype is recessive, i.e. "ss".
The genotype of the nonsecretor mother would be Ss, who have received one recessive allele from her father.
Now the nonsecretor man have a secretor daughter from his previous marriage. That means that he is a carrier nd his genotype is Ss.
Now, we can cross between the heterozygous parents (Ss x Ss) will have offspring with the following genotypes :
1 SS -- Nonsecretor
2 Ss -- Nonsecretor
1 ss -- secretor
Thus the probability that their first child will be :
a). a secretor girl
[tex]$=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{8}$[/tex]
b). Non secretor girl

Answer:
Carbohydrate (monosaccharide)
Explanation:
Carbohydrates are one of the four biological molecules in nature. Carbohydrates are structurally composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements. However, these elements (C,H,O) are present in each carbohydrate in the ratio 1:2:1 respectively.
As stated in this question, glucose is an organic molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the 1:2:1 proportion, hence, it is a CARBOHYDRATE. Since glucose possess one sugar component, it is classified as a MONOSACCHARIDE with a chemical formula C6H12O6.
Normal diploid somatic cells of the mosquito Culex pipiens contain six chromosomes. The G1 nucleus of a mosquito cell contains 3.0 x 10^-12 grams of DNA. How much nuclear DNA would be expected in metaphase I of meiosis?
a. 6.0 x 10^-12 g.
b. 1.5 x 10^-12 g.
c. 12 x 10^-12 g.
d. 3.0 x 10^-12 g.
e. 0.75 x 10^-12 g.
Answer:
a. 6.0 x 10^-12 g.
Explanation:
The interphase is the previous step before the cell divission occurs. The interphase is formed of the G1, S, and G2 stages.
• During the G1 stage, it occurs a high intense biochemical activity. The cell duplicates its size, and the organelles and other molecules and cytoplasmatic structures duplicate too. Some structures, such as microtubules and actin filaments, are synthesized from zero. The endoplasmic reticulum increases in size and produces a membrane for the Golgi apparatus and vacuoles, lysosomes, and vesicles. During this stage, the pair of centrioles separate, and each centriole duplicates. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also replicate.
• During the S stage occurs the DNI replication process. It also occurs the synthesis of histones and other associated proteins. This is the only stage where the DNI molecule is replicated.
• G2 stage is the final one before the cellular division. Here begins the slow process of DNI condensation. Duplication of centrioles completes. Structures such as spindle fibers are assembled.
Through the process of Meiosis, a diploid germ cell (2n) divides and originates four daughter cells with a haploid chromosome number (n). Each daughter cell has half of the chromosomes of the original one. Meiosis is completed in two phases. During the first phase, and after replication, occurs the chromosome´s reduction division. During the second phase, the cell suffers a new, not reductive division.
1. In the first phase, Meiosis I:
Prophase I: Chromosomes condensate and became visible. Occurs crossing-over between homologous chromosomes. Crossin-over makes the daughter cells to be genetically different from the original one. Metaphase I: The pairs of homologous chromosomes randomly align in the equatorial plane. Anaphase I: occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. Telophase I: Each of the homologous pairs chromosomes is already in the corresponding poles, and the nuclear membrane forms again in each pole.2. In the second phase, Meiosis II:
Prophase II: Chromosomes condensate again and become visible. Metaphase II: Chromosomes join the spindle apparatus and migrate to the equatorial plane, where they randomly line up. Sister chromatids are holden together until they reach the Anaphase. Anaphase II: Centromeres divide, chromatids get separated, and each of them goes forward an opposite cellular pole. Telophase II: Once in the poles, the chromosomes became lax again, and cytokinesis occurs.In the exposed example, DNI in the G1 nucleus of a mosquito cell still has not suffered replication (3.0 x 10^-12 grams). The replication process occurs during the S stage, which follows the G1 stage. After the S stage, the cell has 6.0 x 10^-12 g of DNI.
During meiosis, the reduction in chromosomes number occurs in anaphase where homologous chromosomes migrate to different poles. But during metaphase I, the cell still has 6.0 x 10^-12 g of DNI.
how does this show the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Answer:
mark me brainlist
Explanation:
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

The question is kind of confusing but from what I understand; missense mutations happen when an amino acid is changed to another amino acid. To find out more specifically, look at a codon chart trust me it helps so much lol (just search codon chart and go to images). missense mutations can also cause a premature stop codon so look for a changed amino acid and a stop codon when u look at the codon chart. maybe if u see the different pairs you can get a more specific answer. I hope this helps :)
