When the Bicoid protein is expressed in Drosophila, divisions between cells in the embryo are not yet fully developed. This helps to explain that (B) Bicoid protein diffuses throughout the embryo in a concentration gradient.

Bicoid protein acts as a morphogen. This means it shows its effect when the concentration gradient is high. Also abbreviated as Bcd, the protein helps in establishing the anterior and posterior region of the Drosophila. It also represses the translation of caudal mRNA.

Embryo is the initial stage of a microorganism, right after the fertilization. In vertebrates, this stage does not last much longer because the development of organs begins.

What is the role of your kidneys in compensating for low levels of oxygen
TEA [102]

Explanation:

When there are low oxygen levels in blood, the blood pH tends to lower. This is because there is an increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood that is converted to carbonic acid by carbonic anhydrase. When carbon acid dissociates, into H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ . The H⁺ influences the increase in acidity of the blood.   The kidneys will excrete most of the H⁺ and retain most of the HCO₃⁻ to help maintain the right blood pH. However, most of blood pH homeostasis is maintained largely by the lungs.

A Mother who is homozygous for Huntington's disease and a father who is homozygous normal want to have a baby. What genotypes an
natita [175]

Answer: The possible genotype for their child is Hh. All the children will be heterozygous for Huntington (Hh).

The possible phenotype for their child is Huntington disease.

Explanation: If H represents the trait for Huntington and h represents normal trait; and if Huntington trait (H) is dominant over normal trait (h), therefore the genotype of the mother who is homozygous for Huntington disease is HH and the genotype of the man who is homozygous normal is hh.

A cross between the man and woman will produce offsprings who are all heterozygous for Huntington disease Hh. Phenotypically, the offsprings will manifest as Huntington disease.

I have a very important question today. NEED ANSWERS QUICK... FAMILY MEMBER NEEDS THIS ANSWER.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A very small number of bone cancers (especially osteosarcomas) appear to be hereditary and are caused by defects (mutations) in certain genes. Retinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer in children that can be hereditary. The inherited form of retinoblastoma is caused by a mutation (abnormal copy) of the RB1 gene. Those with this mutation also have an increased risk of developing bone or soft tissue sarcomas. Also, if radiation therapy is used to treat the retinoblastoma, the risk of osteosarcoma in the bones around the eye is even higher. Finally, there are families with several members who have developed osteosarcoma without inherited changes in any of the known genes. The gene defects that may cause cancers in these families haven’t been discovered yet.

They will most likely survive becuase stage one of bone cancer is the most treatable stage.
