Suppose you discover two interesting rare cytological abnormalities in the karyotype of a human male. (A karyotype is the total

visible chromosome complement.) There is an extra piece (satellite) on one of the chromosomes of pair 4, and there is an abnormal pattern of staining on one of the chromosomes of pair 7. With the assumption that all the gametes of this male are equally viable, what proportion of his children will have the same karyotype that he has?

Answer:

1/8.

Explanation:

Karyotype may be defined as the visual appearance and the number of chromosome of the organism. Karyotype helps in studying the chromosomal abnormalites.

The human male has extra piece at chromosome 4. The abnormal pattern on the chromosome 7. The probability to inherit the defective chromosome 4 is 1/2, defective chromosome 7 is 1/2 and the probability of Y chromosome is 1/2. The probability of child to inherit all these chromosome is (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/8.

Thus, the answer is 1/8.

Why is it good for aquatic organisms that live in cold climates that ice floats?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer;

-The less dense, the more the ice will float, allowing animals to stay afloat and not in the water

Explanation;

-When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.

-This means that ice floats on water and that lakes freeze from the top down to the bottom.This is vital for animals that live on ice, as their habitats would be greatly reduced or not exist at all if ice sank.

Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
hoa [83]

The right answer is C

This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).

Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.

Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).

NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
