Answer:

The best answer to the question: Why is it that two full siblings can be equally related to a given grandparent, even though both of them have received equal amounts of DNA from their mother and father? Would be: Genetic recombination.

Explanation:

When an offspring receives chromosomes from the father´s sperm and the mother´s egg, a process takes place to ensure that these chromosomes appropriately combine and the balance is maintained on the total number of chromosomes and also on which gene will be phenotypically expressed on one offspring, and which in another. This process is called genetic recombination and basically it is a shuffling of genes. This means that the parents of the two full siblings each received a copy of chromosomes from both their own parents, one of which would be the grandparent of the full siblings. But as meiosis takes place and the chromosomes fuse, shuffling, or recombination takes place, and while one offspring will receive a given set of genes, the other may receive the same, or another set. This means that as generations are born, genetic material from the grandparent will further recombine with those of others present and the percentage of genetic material directly linked to that grandparent will diminish, but will not completely disappear. Thus, genetically, we will be linked to the progenitor line, but the percentage of genes directly received will lessen.

Explain how health care professionals treat unregulated (or abnormal) cellular growth in the body
Alexeev081 [22]

New cells are typically produced during cell division. Cell division is a complex process that is regulated and checked at many points. Due to varying factors, the cell regulation mechanism may become non functional and this usually result in abnormal cell growth and division.

An abnormal cell growth may be cancerous or non cancerous. The best thing to do when one notices an abnormal growth in his body is to go and see the doctor. The doctors will administer appropriate test in order to determine the type of tumor that is present. If the tumor is non cancerous it will be removed by minor surgery. In case the tumor is cancerous, appropriate treatments will depending on the part of the body where it is found, the stage of growth and nature of the cancerous cells.

Based on the name of this organism, what can you predict about its morphology?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

<em>S. aureus</em> is spherical and arranged in clusters

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>is a gram positive bacteria that forms a part of our body microbiota. It is usually found on skin and in upper respiratory tract. The genus name of this organism is <em>Staphylococcus </em>which tells a lot about its morphology. Cocci or coccus is the name given to bacteria who appear spherical. Staph points out to their arrangement which is in clusters. Had it been <em>Streptococcus</em>, it would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in long chains. Similarly, <em>Diplococcus</em> would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in groups of two. Hence from the name <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em> we can say that it is spherical and arranged in clusters.
