2. Understanding human strengths is a focus of which kind of psychology?

Answers

Answer:

Positive psychology

Explanation:

Positive psychology is understood as the scientific study of human well-being as well as the strengths that allow individuals, communities, and societies to prosper. The field of positive psychology is based on the belief that people want to have a life full of positive affect and satisfaction (hedonic well-being), as well as to have a life full of meaning (eudaemonic well-being), to cultivate the best within themselves and enhance their experiences of love, work and fun. In this way, positive psychology will consist, precisely, of the theoretical study, measurement, classification and construction of positive emotion (focusing on human strengths), commitment and life satisfaction, especially in relation to lifestyle and health.

Go Deep! Look at the Parent Chromsomes and Key pictured below. Would it be possible for these parents to have a daughter with Hemophilia?

Answers

Answer: No, the daughter will be a carrier only.

Explanation: Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder. The recessive gene is carried on the X chromossome. Males have only one X chromossome, while females have 2. So, for a male individual to have hemophilia, it only needs the recessive gene to be on the X chromossome. In a female, the disorder is expressed when both X chromossomes has the recessive gene.

In the Parent Chromossomes picture shown, the father's X chromossome doesn't have the gene for hemophilia and the mother is heterozygous for the trait, i.e., she carries the recessive gene.

A daughter will inherit an X chromossome from the father and an X chromossome from the mother.

In this family, the daughter will inherit the X with dominant gene H for the father and has a possibility of inheriting another dominant gene H or recessive gene h from the mother.

For the daughter to be hemophiliac, she has to inherit 2 recessive genes. Since in either case she won't, she only inherits 1 recessive gene, the daughter will be a carrier for the trait, not have the disease.

Answer:

Did humans tame woolly mammoths or other megafauna?

Considering that some people are gifted with handling animals (e.g. horse whisperers), could paleoindians or other Pleistocene peoples have gained the confidence of woolly mammoths or mastodons to use them as transportation and other tasks, the way that Asian elephants are used today?

Fewer resources would be necessary for a human to travel long distances by riding on the back of a woolly mammoth or paleocamel, as the megafauna could graze and get energy. People may also have traveled by boat during late Pleistocene times (the kelp highway along PNW).

How could we test such a hypothesis? Cave art showing a rider on the back of one of the megafauna? A bridle and/or bit? A talisman worn by a camel is known to have been crafted from a meteorite(1), and so talismans or decorations might have adorned the hypothesized woolly steed. Metal was not a known technology during stone tool usage, as far as we know, though.

Roles of bones in bony fish include which of the following?
a for general protection and support
bas places of attachment for muscles
x
to protect the fish's brain
d all of the above

Answers

Answer:

D All of the above

Explanation:

Like our bones, bones in fish can provide general protection and support to their body.

(Fun fact, jellyfish do not have bones, so when they are out of the water, they loses their bell shape structure and looks more like a flat piece of jelly. But fish tends to look the same when it is in water and out of water.)

The bone is also where the muscles will attach to, which allows for movement.

(Imagine our fingers, the muscles in our fingers are attached to our bones, which allows us to do things like typing.)

Bones can also protect the fish's brain.

(Brain can be very fragile and soft, so having a hard structure around it can protect the brain. It's kind of similar to protecting the liquid egg in an egg shell.)

The diagram below illustrates two different protein molecules found in organisms. Which of the following statements is not correct?
The proteins have different functions
The proteins are both composed of amino acids
The sequence of amino acids in both proteins are the same
The shapes of these proteins determine their functions.

Answers

Answer:

Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective; they may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Each cell in a living system may contain thousands of different proteins, each with a unique function. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, polymers of alpha amino acids, arranged in a linear sequence and connected together by covalent bonds.

Alpha Amino Acid Structure

The major building block of proteins are called alpha (α) amino acids.  As their name implies they contain a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine functional group.  The alpha designation is used to indicate that these two functional groups are separated from one another by one carbon group. In addition to the amine and the carboxylic acid, the alpha carbon is also attached to a hydrogen and one additional group that can vary in size and length.  In the diagram below, this group is designated as an R-group.  Within living organisms there are 20 amino acids used as protein building blocks.  They differ from one another only at the R-group position. The basic structure of an amino acid is shown below:

Figure 2.1 General Structure of an Alpha Amino Acid

There are a total of 20 alpha amino acids that are commonly incorporated into protein structures (Figure 2.x). The different R-groups have different characteristics based on the nature of atoms incorporated into the functional groups. There are R-groups that predominantly contain carbon and hydrogen and are very nonpolar or hydrophobic.  Others contain polar uncharged functional groups such as alcohols, amides, and thiols. A few amino acids are basic (containing amine functional groups) or acidic (containing carboxylic acid functional groups). These amino acids are capable of forming full charges and can have ionic interactions. Each amino acid can be abbreviated using a three letter and a one letter code.

For a certain plant, purple flowers (allele: P) are dominant and white flowers (allele: p) are recessive. A heterozygous purple plant is crossed with a true-breeding (purebred) white plant. What are the possible genotypes (allele pairs) of the offspring?

Answers

Pp=50% and pp=50% so it’s a 50/50 chance of what the offspring will be

The possible genotype of all the offspring will be PP, and Pp as per the given situation.

What is genotype?

An organism's genotype is made up of all of its genetic components. The alleles or variations that an individual carries in a specific gene or genetic region are also referred to as the genotype.

The term "genotype" broadly refers to an organism's genetic make-up; in other words, it characterizes an organism's whole gene pool.

The phrase can also be used to describe to the alleles, or different forms of a gene, that an organism carries in a more specific meaning.

In the Punnett square attached, the genotype of the organism is PP and Pp, which means the generation will be having purple flower.

Thus, the possible genotype will be 50% PP and 50% Pp.

Team of scientists is studying several plant species that they think could become new farm crops. The scientists want to apply selective breeding to develop one of the species into useful crop plants. Which property of a plant species would be MOST USEFUL for meeting the scientists' goal? A. very low genetic variation B. very high genetic variation C. producing only a few fruits and seeds each growing season

Answers

Answer:

B. very high genetic variation

Explanation:

Selective breeding is the process by which crops or animals with desired phenotypic traits are chosen to produce offspring, which will contain the desired qualities. In this case, a group of scientists is trying to apply the principles of selective breeding to develop a particular crop plant.

This goal of producing a useful crop plant by the scientists can only be achieved when the plant species in question possess a HIGH GENETIC VARIATION i.e. difference in genetic constitution of individuals of the same species. This allows the individuals in the population to survive better.

Review the Protein to Trait Example. How did the differences in proteins lead to different traits for this feature?

Answers

Answer:

Proteins are responsible for shaping and growth of an organism.

Explanation:

The differences in proteins lead to different in traits because it is the protein that determines the trait. The gene's sequence is like language that instructs cell to manufacture a particular protein that is necessary for the growth and development of the organism. These proteins shaped the structure of organisms so we can say that difference in traits occur due to difference in their proteins.
