Answer:

fully oxygenated blood returning to the amphibian heart can undergo additional pumping to reach higher pressures.

Explanation:

Fishes have a two-chambered heart with one atrium and one ventricle. The blood is pumped from the atrium into the ventricle. Ventricle pumps blood into a single circuit of blood vessels. Blood is oxygenated as it passes through capillaries in the gills. As blood circulates through the gill capillaries, it has low blood pressure and therefore, is delivered very slowly to the other organs.  

The amphibian heart has two atria and one ventricle. A sinus venosus collects oxygen-poor blood and pumps it into the right atrium. Oxygenated blood from the lungs passes directly into the left atrium. The left atrium pumps the oxygen-rich blood into the arteries that conduct it to the various tissues of the body. Therefore, a three-chambered heart in reptiles allows the delivery of oxygenated blood with high blood pressure.

Trava [24]

Answer:

0.25%

Explanation:

20 people start the new population. So there are 20 genes or 40 alleles for the recessive disorder phenylketonuria. 2 out of 40 alleles are recessive for the condition hence frequency of the allele = 2/40 = 0.05

Frequency of the allele does not change when the population increases so it is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it, if q is the frequency of recessive allele, q² = frequency of the recessive condition

Here, q = 0.05 So,

q² = (0.05)² = 0.0025

In percentage, it is 100 * 0.0025 = 0.25%

Hence, incidence of phenylketonuria in the new population is 0.25%

Why is it necessary for DNA to replicate as the first step in mitosis?
Zepler [3.9K]

DNA is a macromolecule composed of nucleotides which carry the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of the cell. One of the most important characteristics of DNA is its ability to make several copies of it (to be copied via the process of replication). When the cell divides into two it must carry each copy of DNA into the divided cells. Through replication, the DNA transfers the information necessary for creating an exact copy of it in the new daughter cell. The transfer of the DNA to the next generation of cells is essential for the function of the whole organism.

<span>DNA replication will make the organism to reproduce the genetic code and transfer it to the next generation (through the reproduction) and thus, to continue the species. </span>
