The sodium amytal test involves the injection of a small amount of sodium amytal into the carotid artery on one side of the neck. This injection anesthetizes the hemisphere on that side for a few minutes.

A method that involves injecting a small amount of a barbiturate into the carotid artery on one side of the head to assess hemispheric functions, usually memory and language. The cerebral hemisphere that was injected selectively becomes impaired for 10 to 15 minutes during this operation.

Various cognitive tests are given while each hemisphere is seperately anaesthetized; deficiencies on these tasks imply that these functions are represented in the anaesthetized hemisphere. Prior to a temporal lobectomy, the Wada test may be utilised in cases with severe and uncontrollable epilepsy. Also known as the Wada technique, intracarotid sodium Amytal test (ISA), Wada dominance test, and intracarotid amobarbital procedure.

You perform the following dihybrid cross: A blaBx Ab/aB. The A and B genes control different traits. What phenotypic ratio would
Luda [366]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

In the given question the genotype of parental allele is- AbaB X AbaB. The alleles formed will be- AB, Ab,aB, ab in which the crossover allele will be AB and ab.

1. Unlinked genes

Now of these alleles are unlinked then the alleles will assort independently of each other therefore performing the punnett square we will get dihybrid ratio as 9:3:3:1 in which  

1. A_B_ are 9

2. aaB_ are 3

3. A_bb are-3

4. aabb- 1

Since the crossover allele are AB and ab therefore A_B_ are 9 and aabb- 1 represent recombinant genotype.

2. Linked genes

When the genes will be linked then chances of crossing over will be reduced as a result of which only two type of allele will be formed which are-  Ab and aB and the recombinant frequency will become less.

Crossing these allele will  form Aabb , AaBb , AaBb  and aaBB  genotypes. The recombinant ratio will decrease as A_B_ is 2 and aabb is not present.

Thus, option-4 which states that the unlinked ration is  9:3:3:1  and linked ratio is  <9: >3: >3: <1 is correct.

True or False. When reactions are too slow to meet the needs of the cell, enzymes are missing from cells and cellular reactions.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Organic catalyst that increase the rate of biochemical reactions in the cells of living organism s are called enzymes.The are proteins with active sites which are specific to a particular  substrate, for enzyme-substrate complex and later enzyme product complex to formed.

They  act by lowering the activation energy  in the organic chemical reaction therefore increase the rate at which chemical reactions progress.

Hence when  the reactions are too slow,activation energy are high,because enzymes are not available to catalyze the reaction fixing the active sites with the the substrates.

Which metabolic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration of a glucose molecule? which metabolic pathway i
IgorC [24]

Answer;

-Glycolysis

Glycolysis is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration.

Explanation;

Glycolysis is a universal process that is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation or anaerobic respiration.

- Fermentation and cellular respiration are similar in that they both begin with a series of reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose molecules into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also similar in that during both processes, ATP is produced for the cell to use.

-Fermentation and cellular respiration are different because, fermentation does not require oxygen but cellular respiration requires the presence of oxygen, and also water molecules are not produced during fermentation but are produced during cellular respiration.
