What is the function of heart valves

Biology

Answer: The heart valves prevent blood from flowing backwards.

Explanation:

The openings between atria and ventricles are guarded by atrioventricular valves also called as AV valves. AV valve between right atrium and right ventricle has three flaps or cusps and is therefore called the tricuspid valve. The AV valve between the left atrium and left ventricle has two flaps or cusps and is therefore called bicuspid valve or mitral valve. During ventricular contraction these valves close to prevent the back flow of blood into the atria.

Three semilunar valves are found at the points where the pulmonary artery and aorta leave the heart. These valves prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles.

Answer: 0.147

Explanation:

Using Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

q2 – 20/3000 = 0.0066

q – √0.0066 = 0.08

p – 1- 0.08 = 0.92

P² = 0.8464

2pq – 2 x (0.92) x (0.08) = 0.147

Select the statements that correctly describe how a new DNA molecule reflects the original DNA molecule from which it was copied
goblinko [34]

Answer:

a. DNA replication proceeds in a 5' to 3' direction in the new DNA molecule and in the opposite direction in the original

c. Each new DNA molecule contains an original strand and a newly synthesized strand.

Explanation:

DNA replication is an important process every cell must undergo prior to division. DNA replication is the process whereby DNA content is doubled. It occurs as a result of an enzyme called DNA polymerase, which synthesizes nucleotides.

DNA replication follows the semi-conservative model which uses one original DNA strand to synthesize a new DNA strand. The double-stranded DNA is separated into two single strands which serve as template for new strands. Due to the action of DNA polymerase, DNA replication proceeds in a 5' to 3' direction in the new DNA molecule and in the opposite direction in the original.

Also, each newly synthesized DNA molecule which is similar to one another contains an original strand (template) and a newly synthesized strand.
