<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

In the family tree below, people with the recessive trait of attached earlobes are shaded gray.

What must be true about the person labeled "A"?

A. It is a male with at least one dominant allele.

B. It is a male with two dominant alleles.

C. It is a female with at least one dominant allele.

D. It is a female with two dominant alleles.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Its a male with atleast one dominant allele.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The gene for the attached earlobe is recessive while the gene for the free earlobes is dominant. In the phylogenetic tree, we can see that both the father and mother aren't having attached earlobes. So both of them are having atleast one dominant allele which makes them have free earlobe.

In the F1 offsprings, one of the female and a male is having free earlobes. So both of them have atleast one dominant allele. The 2nd female is having an attached earlobe. So both the recessive allele have come form one parent each. So both of them are heterozygous.

Thus, the male marked as A atleast have one dominant allele. He can be a homozygous dominant, but the probability is 25%.

Explain what is meant by the term differentiate.
bulgar [2K]

The process by which cell types or cell populations attain distinct and different forms and functions is called differentiation.

This is the process that allows the stem cells to differentiate and form a cell type that will perform a specific function.

The process of differentiation is essential for the formation of the different organs in multicellular organisms.

Action potentials (nerve impulses) are changes in the membrane potential that, once started, will affect the entire excitable me
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The order of events would be:

4.Threshold stimulus, Na+ channels open.  This is the first event

5.Na+ influx, Depolarization. Second event

2.Na+ channels close, K+ channels open.  This is the third event

1.K+ efflux, Repolarization.  Fourth event

3.Hyperpolarization, K+ channels close

Explanation:

In resting state, the membrane is negative inside, and  K+ concentration is higher than outside.   Na+ concentration is higher outside instead.  

Sodium influx is responsible for membrane depolarization.  It's the event to produce the action potential.  When sodium channels are closing, potassium channels open and K+ go outside until repolarization occurs. But now we have both ions in different sides of the membrane, and this can't be stimulated again to produce other action potential. The membrane will remain refractory to respond to the adequate stimulus until ions migrate to their original sites.  This is Na+ outside, and K+ inside.  This is responsibility of the Na+/ K+ pump, that uses ATP to pump Na+ out, and  K+ in. Once both ions had been relocated in the membrane, this is ready to receive a correct stimulus to produce a new action potential.

Answer:

The answer to these questions are the following:

1. sucrose solution (higher concentration of water molecules in the onion cells) >> red onion cells will shrink >> smaller diameter

2. distilled water (higher concentration of water molecules in the surrounding solution) >> red onion cells will become turgid >> higher diameter

Osmosis refers to the movement of a solvent (usually water molecules) across semipermeable biological membranes, which occurs from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. There are three classes of solutions that have different effects on cells due to the process of osmosis:

1. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will become turgid  

2. In an isotonic solution, the cells will become flaccid.  

3. In a hypertonic solution, the cells will shrink (plasmolysis)

When plant cells are placed into a hypertonic solution where there is a greater concentration of solute outside the cells (as in this case sucrose solution), water molecules will move from inside the cells to outside the cells, thereby cells will shrink due to water loss

When plant cells are placed into a hypotonic solution that is diluted in comparison to the content of the cell (as in this case plant cells placed in distilled water) water molecules will move from outside the cells to inside the cells, thereby cells will become turgid.
