The nonselective, passive process performed by the glomerulus that forms blood plasma without blood proteins is called filtration.
<span>Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine which includes the<span> separation of the liquid part of the blood (plasma) from the blood cells</span>. Glomerulus of the kidneys (a tuft of blood capillaries)<span> filters excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney and thus eliminates it out of the body.</span></span>

20. How did HeLa cells make it possible to diagnose trisomies like Down syndrome?
Rasek [7]

He La cells have play important role in the study of cancer and even in cancer therapies. He La cells are also used to diagnose trisomic disorders such as Down's Syndrome with the help of chromosome banding. Some genes present in the He La cells are used as markers and compared with the other cell line in question. Presence of the marker for Down's syndrome in the cell in question shows that the person is suffering from the disease.

Please help, these questions on my hw are confusing to me.
Mariana [72]
10. before replication begins, the strands of DNA are separated and used as templates for the new strands. the replication process creates 2 identical double helixes, each has 1 new strand and 1 old one.

11. without dna replication, damaged cells could not be replaced/repaired and cells need dna, cells would become mutated without dna replication.

12. mutations are rare because dna polymerase proofreads the strands but if the process occurred incorrectly and was not corrected by the polymerase, the cell would become mutated and could be really harmful.

hope this helped!

A woman has blood Type A, her baby has blood Type AB: Is it possible that a man who has the blood Type A could be the father? Sh
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

No, it is not possible

Explanation:

Humans use the ABO blood group system where the A and B alleles are dominant over allele O but codominant with one another.

This system is such that;

Type A can only have genotype: iAiA or iAi

Type B can only have genotype: iBiB or iBi

Type AB can only have genotype: iAiB

Type O can only have genotype: ii

According to this question, a woman has blood Type A (iAiA or iAi) and her baby has blood Type AB (iAiB). This means that the father definitely contributed the allele B in order to have a baby with type AB. It also means that, according to the question, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A "Type A" father to produce that baby (see the punnet square attached).

Note: The father must contain an allele B in his genotype i.e. the father must be either type B (iBiB or iBi) or type AB (iAiB)

A single strand of DNA helix has the code CGCTAA. Which would be the complementary code on the other strand of the helix?
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is option 4, that is, GCGATT.  

Complementary strand refers to either of the two chains, which forms a double helix of DNA, with corresponding positions on the two chains comprising of a pair of complementary bases. It is a section of one nucleic acid, which is bonded to another by an alignment of base pairs.  

In nature, complementarity refers to the base principle of DNA transcription and replication as it is a characteristic shared between the two RNA or DNA sequences, such that when they are arranged antiparallel to each other, the nucleotide bases at each position in the sequences will be complementary.
