Answer:

Due to the presence of high level of bilirubin.

Explanation:

Jaundice is the condition in which the skin and sclera of eyes turns into yellow. Improper functioning of liver mainly causes the jaundice condition in an individual.

The skin and body turns yellow in jaundice because the bilirubin pigment is deposited in the blood. The bile juice of the liver mixes with the blood and causes the yellowing of the skin.

Explanation:

Gamete formation involves the random and independent segregation of alleles. During anaphase 1 (meiosis), occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair.

The number of gametes with different combinations is 2ⁿ, where

n = number of homologous pairs.

In the exposed example there are 4 pairs of chromosomes, so

the number of possible combinations of chromosomes = 2ⁿ = 2⁴ = 16

Individual: AaBbCcDdEe

You can make use of the fork line method to easily figure out the possible gametes.

How can you tell if a cell is alive?

Sedaia [141]

Normally, when a cell dies, the outside morphology changes, in other words, the cell looks different. For example, if you are growing cells that attach to a plate, when they die they are not able to attach to the bottom of the plate anymore, and they will appear floating in the medium. I am not sure of what kind of cells you are studying; if you told us it would help as to suggest ways of distinguish between live/dead cells.

A group of student set up an experiment to test the effects of exercise on the rate of cellular respiration. During the experime

elixir [45]

The answer would be B:The data suggests that exercise increases the rate of cellular respiration because more carbon dioxide was produced.

The data has a consistent trend that show the time needed to change BTB color after exercising is much shorter compared to before exercising. If the time needed longer, this show that the amount carbon dioxide removed from the lungs is higher. The reaction that power up the muscle will produce carbon dioxide as side product in cellular respiration.
