Answer:

here.

Explanation:

Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.

A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.

An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.

A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.

Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.

A chimpanzee has 48 chromosomes. When performing meiosis, one chromosome does not split properly in Anaphase II, causing one cel
Schach [20]

Answer:

The mutated cell will have 25 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division process in sexual reproduction which involves two successive divisions of a cell having a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes into four daughter cells having a haploid (1n) number of chromosomes.

Meiosis consists of two successive nuclear divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division consists of these stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Anaphase consists of anaphase I and II. During anaphase II, the centromeres linking the two pairs of chromosomes which are called chromatids separate, and the sister chromatids move toward the opposite poles of the cell and are now called chromosomes.

Therefore in the chimpanzee having 48 chromosomes, after underoing meiosis, each daughter cell will have 24 chromosomes. If there is a case of non-separation of one chromosome, the cell will have 1n + 1 chromosomes i.e. 24 + 1 = 25 chromosomes.

The light reactions of photosynthesis supply the Calvin cycle with a. Light energy. b. CO₂ and ATP. c. H₂O and NADPH. d. ATP and
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The light reactions of photosynthesis supply the Calvin cycle with (d) ATP and NADPH.

Light reactions are photochemical reactions which are directly driven by light. They are responsible for the synthesis of ATP as well as NADPH.

Light reactions take place in the membranous system that is present  within the chloroplasts. The membrane system consists of grana, the stromal lamellae and the matrix stroma.

The products of light reaction include ATP, NADPH as well as O₂. However, ATP as well as NADPH are used in driving the processes which result in the production of sugars, whereas O₂ diffuses out of the chloroplast.

Abnormally slow depolarization of the ventricles would most likely change the shape of the ________ in an ecg tracing.
Leni [432]
Abnormally the slow depolarization of the ventricles would most likely change the shape of the QRS in an ECG tracing. It is a combination of three graphical deflections which is seen on a typical electrocardiogram. It is the most visually obvious and central part of the tracing. It corresponds to depolarization of left and right ventricles of the human heart.
During the activity, it may be shorter in children.
QRS waves occur in succession rapidly. Q wave is a downward deflection following P wave. R wave follows upward deflection and S wave is downward deflection which is after R wave while T wave follows S waves.

Dr. Mai conducts a test of a new anti-malaria drug in Africa and concludes that he may reject the null hypothesis with a probabi
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Type I.

Explanation:

The statistical hypothesis can be used in the scientific experiments to explain any observation or the results. Two main types of hypothesis are null hypothesis or alternate hypothesis.

Sometime error might also be done by the individual while accepting any hypothesis. In Type I error, the individual rejects the correct hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis which is wrong. Dr. Mai has also done Type I error in her experiment.

Thus, the answer is Type I.
