The procedure can decrease the odds of having a child with CF by performing an in vitro fertilization procedure and screening the embryo for the CF alleles is referred to as preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

<h3>What diseases can be detected by preimplantation genetic diagnosis?</h3>

Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is the testing of embryos or oocytes at the pre-implantation stage for genetic defects.

It can be used to diagnose cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, Hemophilia, etc.

Thus, the procedure can decrease the odds of having a child with CF by performing an in vitro fertilization procedure and screening the embryo for the CF alleles is referred to as preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Describe how synapsis occurs
Butoxors [25]
Synapsis or syndesis is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that happens during meiosis. It allows the two homologous chromosomes to match up in pairs prior to their segregation. And a possibility of the chromosomes crossing over in between them.

I hope I helped :)

Algae: any of numerous groups of chlorophyll-containing, mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms ranging from microscopic single-celled forms to multicellular forms 100 feet (30 meters) or more long, distinguished from plants by the absence of true roots, stems, and leaves and by a lack of nonreproductive cells in the reproductive structures: classified into the six phyla Euglenophyta, Crysophyta, Pyrrophyta, Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta.

Amboeda: any of a large genus (Amoeba) of naked rhizopod protozoans with lobed and never anastomosing pseudopodia, without permanent organelles or supporting structures, and of wide distribution in fresh and salt water and moist terrestrial environments

Asexual reproduction: reproduction (as cell division, spore formation, fission, or budding) without union of individuals or gametes

Cilia: minute short hairlike process often forming part of a fringe

Diatom: any of a class (Bacillariophyceae) of minute planktonic unicellular or colonial algae with silicified skeletons that form diatomaceous earth

Sequence the steps, 1–4, in the order required to create a permanent slide of human cheek cells. [1 mark] Specimen dehydrated Sp
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct order is dehydration, embed in wax, cut into sections, staining

Explanation:

There are certain proceedings needed to obtain stained sections of vegetable or animal tissues for their microscope observations.

These steps are:

  • Obtention of the material: The tissue is cut to an adequate size.
  • Fixation: When tissues are extracted from the organism, they suffer autolysis and putrefaction, so they need to be fixated in order to keep their cells in the best state possible. Fixation involves preserving the original morphological and molecular characteristics of the tissue. Fixation avoids autolysis, putrefaction, distortion, and retraction of cells and the tissue that could affect its volume or morphology.  
  • Dehydration. Once fixated, the fixator must be eliminated and the tissue is dehydrated by using a gradual series of solutions with alcohol in ascendant concentrations. Dehydration must be gradual to avoid tissue deformation.
  • Inclusion. To obtain thin cuts that can be observed under the optic microscope, the tissues must be included in a consistent, firm substance, that might be either hydrophilic or hydrophobic. A hydrophobic medium is paraffin wax, that provides hardness and plasticity.  
  • Cut. The tissue included in wax must be cut in slides or sections thin enough to allow the diffusion and penetration of light. A microtome is used to perform these cuts. When using paraffine for tissue inclusion, the cuts are about  5 to 20 micrometers of thickness.
  • Stain. Once the cuts are performed, paraffin wax must be eliminated. This can be done by using an organic solvent. Then the tissue must be stained. Hematoxylin and Eosin are the most common dyes. Animal tissues in general do not have any natural color, so they need to be stained to be observed.

Make a concept map that shows how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related
lara31 [8.8K]
In plants, photosynthesis, occurring in chloroplasts, is an anabolic (bond-building) process whereby CO2 and H2O combine with the use of light (photon) energy. This yields O2 and sugar (i.e. glucose). This occurs in 2 phases: light-dependent and dark (Calvin cycle) reactions, which both continually recycle ADP/ATP and NADP/NADPH.
The catabolic (bond-breaking) process in plants is cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down with O2 by glycolysis (cytoplasm only) and mitochondrial reactions (Krebs cycle and E.T.C.) to yield CO2 and H2O. These reactions recycle ADP/ATP and NAD/NADH. The CO2 and water produced by cellular respiration feed into the photosynthetic processes, and in turn, the O2 and glucose resulting from photosynthesis supply the respiratory reactions.
