Answer:

Answer is C: water exhibits cohesive properties.

Explanation:

Water exhibits both cohesive and adhesive properties. Cohesion is the attractive forces between same kind of molecules i.e between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding. Cohesion is responsible for the surface tension of water. Adhesion is the attractive forces between different kind of molecules. Its responsible for the capillary action of water. These forces are very important feature of water because it helps in the movement of water upwards towards the leaf from the roots.

Briefly describe how amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling are used in genetic screening.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Amniocentesis is an invasive method that involves the aspiration of 10-20 ml of fetal water through the abdominal wall under ultrasound-guided control. In most cases, the procedure is performed around the 16th week of gestation. The fetal water sample contains fetal cells, mostly cells of fetal skin and the epithelium of the urinary tract.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) biopsy is performed between weeks 11 and 12 of gestation. During biopsy, with ultrasound guidance, the tissue of the chorionic fossa is aspirated mainly across the abdomen (transabdominal pathway). The biopsy specimen is of fetal origin and belongs to the outer layer of blastocyst cells or the trophoblast (outer layer of the placenta). Very often, the biopsy specimen contains tissue of the decidua (mucous membrane of the uterus) that is of maternal origin, and it is necessary to remove the maternal tissue before any treatment of the sample.

Explanation:

The amniocentesis procedure carries a risk of miscarriage of 0.5-1%.  After aspiration of the fruit of the water, the sample is centrifuged to separate the cells from the amniotic fluid. Separate cells are seeded on a nutrient medium (cell culture) that stimulates cell growth. After about 14 days, the cell culture is further used for various genetic or biochemical analyzes such as karyotyping.

The advantage of chorionic biopsy is the amount of biological material, which is sufficient for the whole a number of different laboratory procedures. Also, a great advantage is the timing of the procedure as it allows diagnosis in the first trimester of pregnancy, but the chorionic biopsy procedure itself carries a risk of miscarriage of 1-2%.

A mating between a male donkey (2n = 62) and a female horse (2n = 64) produces sterile mules. why are mules sterile?
kirza4 [7]

The horse and donkey, though closely related by sharing a common ancestor, are different species. They have different number of chromosomes hence pairing of homologous chromosomes during fusion of gametes becomes complicated. The mule will have an extra chromosome from the horse hence will have abnormalities such as sterility. A Mule is unable to reproduce due to this same phenomenon. Homologous chromosomes are not well paired for meiosis I.

TEA [102]

Answer:

This quote is by Immanuel Kant and is meant to defend animals from the cruel actions of men.

Explanation:

German Immanuel Kant was one of the most influential philosophers of all time. <u>Kant opposed Utilitarianism</u>, an ethical theory that reduced the rights or wrongs of an action to how positive or negative the outcome of said action was, which could lead to vile actions since nothing was really wrong unless it had bad consequences.

To Kant, animals were deserving of good treatment, and he believed that a man who is cruel to animals is also cruel to other men.
