The correct option is (C) Carbon dioxide reacts with an amino group to stabilize the deoxyhemoglobin state.

In addition to transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, hemoglobin is also involved in transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs where, Carbon dioxide reacts with an amino group to stabilize the deoxyhemoglobin state.

<h3>How does hemoglobin contribute to the movement of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs?</h3>
  • The transport of carbon dioxide in the blood is influenced by a number of factors. First, blood contains more carbon dioxide soluble molecules than oxygen. The plasma contains 5–7% of the total dissolved carbon dioxide.
  • Second, carbon dioxide can enter red blood cells and bind to hemoglobin or it can bind to plasma proteins. In this form, 10% of the carbon dioxide gets transported.
  • A substance known as carbaminohemoglobin is created when carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin and carbon dioxide can bind to one other again.
  • As a result, when it gets to the lungs, the carbon dioxide can separate from the hemoglobin without restriction and leave the body.
  • Third, the bicarbonate buffer system is responsible for transporting 85% of the carbon dioxide molecules.

I understand that the question you are looking for is "In addition to transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, hemoglobin is also involved in transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. How is this accomplished?

A. Carbon dioxide competes for the oxygen-binding site on the heme.

B. Carbon dioxide competes for the 2,3-BPG-binding site.

C. Carbon dioxide reacts with an amino group to stabilize the deoxyhemoglobin state.

D. Carbon dioxide binds to the carboxyl terminus of hemoglobin."

2. Dominant trait: cleft chin (C) Mother’s gametes: Cc
andre [41]

.2. Offspring Genotypes will be Cc or cc.

     Offspring phenotypes : Cleft chin or no cleft chin.

    % chance child will have cleft chin: 50%

3.  % chance child will have arched feet: 25%

4.  % chance child will have blonde hair:  50%

5.  % chance child will have normal vision: 25%

 

Explanation:

CASE 1 :

 Dominant trait: cleft chin (C)

    Recessive trait: lacks cleft chin (c)

    Father’s gametes: cc

    Mother’s gametes: Cc

There are two possible combination of Gametes ,

C fom mother and  c from father= Cc

c from mother and c from father = cc

Gametes of Cc Parents=  \frac{1}{2}C + \frac{1}{2} c........(i)

Gametes of cc parents =<u> </u>\frac{1}{2}c + \frac{1}{2}c .........(ii)

Combining (i) and (ii) we get,

\frac{1}{2}  Cc + \frac{1}{2} cc                              

There fore offspring Genotypes will be Cc or cc

Offspring phenotypes :

Genotype Cc then phenotype= Cleft chin

Genotype cc then phenotype = Lacks cleft chin.

percentage chance child will have cleft chin  =\frac{0.5}{1} ×100

Therefore the chance is 50%.

CASE 2 :

Dominant trait: flat feet (A)

Recessive trait: arched feet (a)

Mother’s gametes: Heterozygous (Aa)

Father’s gametes: Heterozygous   (Aa)

There are four possible combination of genotypes are =AA , Aa, Aa and aa

i.e. A from mother, A from father= AA

     A from mother, a from father =Aa

     a from mother, A from Father = Aa

     a from mother, a from father = aa

Gametes of Aa parent =\frac{1}{2} A + \frac{1}{2} a

Gametes of other Aa parent = \frac{1}{2} A + \frac{1}{2} a

                                       <u>..................................................................................</u>

                                              \frac{1}{4} AA + \frac{1}{4} Aa

                                                                           +  \frac{1}{4} Aa +\frac{1}{4} aa

                                   <u>..........................................................................................</u>

                                <u>\frac{1}{4}AA + \frac{1}{2}Aa +\frac{1}{4} aa</u>

Offspring Genotypes will be: AA or Aa or aa

Offsprings phenotype will be:

Genotype AA then phenotype will be Flat feet

Genotype Aa then phenotype will be flat feet

Genotype aa then Phenotype will be arched feet.

Percentage chance child will have arched feet = \frac{0.25}{1} × 100 = 25%

CASE 3:

Dominant trait: Brown hair (B)

Recessive trait: Blonde hair (b)

Mother’s gametes: Homozygous recessive  (bb)

Father’s gametes: Heterozygous  (Bb)

This case is very similar to the case 1 as one parent is homozygous recessive and other parent is heterozygous.

Resulting in  half  Bb and halve bb combination.

Genotypes will be Bb or bb

Phenotypes will be :

Genotype Bb then phenotype Brown hair

Phenotype bb then Phenotype bb.

% chance child will have blonde hair: 50%

CASE 4:

Dominant trait: farsightedness (F)

Recessive trait: normal vision (f)

Mother’s gametes: Heterozygous  (Ff)

Father’s gametes: Heterozygous  (Ff)

This Case is similar to case 2

it will result in one-fourth FF , half Ff and one-fouth ff combination.

Therefore Genotypes will be: FF, Ff and ff

Phenotypes:

Genotype FF  then phenotype farsightedness

Genotype Ff then phenotype  farsightedness

Genotype ff then phenotype normal vision.

% chance child will have normal vision: 25%

Which statements describe functions of antibodies? Select two options.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A.They maintain the cell’s shape.

B.They regulate cell processes.

C.They protect the body from infectious agents.

D.They signal the immune system to destroy pathogens.

E.They speed up biochemical reactions.

F.They send electrical signals.

The correct answers are C and D.

Explanation:

B cells and T cells use different biological weapons to attack the pathogen. The first secrete proteins called antibodies, which are distributed via the blood or the exposed surfaces to the environment, such as mucous. Antibodies are glycoproteins that circulate in the bloodstream looking for antigens that cause some type of damage to the body. Antibodies recognize and neutralize pathogens in a highly efficient way. Once the antibodies are produced, they remain circulating in the bloodstream for several months, which generates immunity for a long period of time to a certain antigen, in other words, they are capable of recognizing other molecules (antigens) in a very specific way and forming stable complexes with them (immune complexes). Its appearance in plasma is part of the adaptive immune response, in what is known as a specific humoral response, constituting a very effective defense against pathogens.

Which structure has the least effect on the ability of a virus to infect and replicate in a host cell?
AleksAgata [21]
The answer is an envelope.

A virus is an infectious agent that can replicate only inside a host cell. When it is outside the cell, it consists of genetic material coated with protein capsid. Some viruses also have an envelope which covers capsid. The function of the envelope is to identify and bind some receptor sites on the host membranes. After fusing with the cell membrane, it allows to capsid and genetic material to enter the cell and infect it.
