The right option is; to develop family pedigrees and inform clients of possible options.

Genetic counselors are trained specialists and part of the health care system that determine possible risk factors of hereditary disorders in patients. They function by analyzing patient histories (pedigree), providing genetic testing and diagnosis, performing genetic risk calculations, counseling and educating patients and their families about potential health risks and available options.

A. Make a list of as many traits as you can think of that could be used to classify a new species.
netineya [11]

Answer:

a. My list is the following:

1. presence of photosynthetic pigments

2. presence of cell wall

3. body symmetry pattern

4. presence of cell nucleus

5. presence of specialized organelles

6. presence of hair

7. presence of mammal glands  

8. niche (e.g., terrestrial or marine habitats)

9. diet (food habits)

10. position of a particular muscle

Explanation:

b. In the list above, traits such as the presence of a cell nucleus or specialized organelles can be used to classify organisms at the kingdom level (since these phenotypic features are observed in eukaryotic organisms but not in prokaryotes). In a similar mode, animals may exhibit two different body symmetry patterns: radial (around the central axis) and bilateral (two sides: left and right), thereby symmetry body can be used to classify organisms within the animal kingdom. Other features used to classify species at high levels include the presence of photosynthetic pigments in green plants (chlorophyll) and bacteria (xanthophyll), presence of cell walls in plants (composed of cellulose,)  and fungi (composed of chitin), presence of hair and mammal glands (mammals), etc. On the other hand, ecological differences (e.g., food habits, niche) and minor anatomical differences (e.g., the position of a particular muscle) are helpful to classify species at the family/genus level.

Explain the digestion process of a complex carbohydrate by arranging the statements in the order that they occur.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The question is incomplete because the options are not given, here are the options from another websites.

A.The enzyme, amylase. which is present in saliva breaks potysaccharide chains into disaccharides.

B. Other enzymes in the small intestine further break the potysaccharide into monosaccharides.

C. You take a bite and to chew the complex carbohydrate into smaller pieces.

D.Amylase is deactivated by the low pH in the stomach.

E.. Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wad.

The correct order are,

C. You take a bite and to chew the complex carbohydrate into smaller pieces.

A.The enzyme, amylase. which is present in saliva breaks potysaccharide chains into disaccharides.

D.Amylase is deactivated by the low pH in the stomach.

B. Other enzymes in the small intestine further break the potysaccharide into monosaccharides

.E. Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wad

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are complex or large molecules are they are found in rice, bread e.t.c

Digestion of carbohydrates start from the mouth through a process called mastication i.e chewing of the carbohydrates. The salivary gland then secrete the salivary amylase which act on the chewed carbohydrates. The salivary amylase breaks down amylose and amylopectin present in starches into smaller chains of glucose which is called dextrins and maltose. When it get to the stomach, the amylase cannot further break it because it does not work in acidic conditions. The substance form chyme in the upper stomach and pancreatic enzymes act on it to break it down into simple sugar glucose. The pancreatic enzymes include sucrase, maltase and lactase.

Sucrase breakdown sucrose into glucose and fructose, maltase breakdown maltose in two molecules of glucose and lactase breakdown lactose into galactose and glucose. The simple sugar are then absorbed into the blood through the intestinal wall.

What is the defining characteristic of a water cycle?
4vir4ik [10]

D. It has the same starting and ending point.

Explanation:

The defining characteristic of a water cycle is that it has the same starting and ending point. The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. It shows the cyclic path through which water moves in nature.

  • The water cycle is a part of the biogeochemical cycle.
  • The biogeochemical cycle shows how certain elements and compounds moves between living organisms and the earth.
  • All living organisms are essentially dependent of water and it is exchanged with the environment around.
  • Some key components of the water cycle are precipitation, ocean, living organisms, ground water, infiltration, surface run off, evaporation etc.
