Answer:

a. Male

Explanation:

The male chromosome is the sex determiner for many species, because the female chromosome is usually doubled (homozygous). For example, us humans it is XX. However, the male chromosome is usually different (heterozygous). For example, us humans it is XY. Therefore, the mother will always pass, in our case a X chromosome. However, the father can pass either the male determining gene (Y) or the female determining gene (X).

In 3–5 sentences, describe the matter that is considered baryonic matter, explain why it is in this category, and compare and co
Bess [88]

Answer:

By definition, baryonic matter should only include matter composed of baryons. In other words, it should include protons, neutrons and all the objects composed of them (i.e. atomic nuclei), but exclude things such as electrons and neutrinos which are actually leptons. since on astronomical scales, protons and neutrons are always accompanied by electrons (in appropriate numbers for astronomical objects to possess all but zero net charge). Astronomers therefore use the term ‘baryonic’ to refer to all objects made of normal atomic matter, essentially ignoring the presence of electrons which, after all, represent only ~0.0005 of the mass. Neutrinos, on the other hand, are (correctly) considered non-baryonic by astronomers.

Talja [164]

Answer:

EDTA is a chelating agent used to preserve samples for DNA extraction and as an anticoagulant  

Explanation:

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a well-known chelating agent that binds metal ions (iron and calcium ions). In police cases, EDTA can be used for DNA extraction since this agent chelates metal ions in DNase enzymes which are contained in the samples, thereby reducing their activity and preserving DNA samples for a long time. Moreover, EDTA is also used as an anticoagulant for blood cells, which allows preserving the cellular components and the morphology of blood samples.

Why do we compare the dermal tissue of plants to human skin? Explain your answer.
Over [174]

Answer:

They are like each other

Explanation:

Your skin covers your body, protecting it from abrasion, water loss, and infection and secreting conditioning substances. The epidermis of a plant serves similar functions. Usually a single layer of closely-packed cells, epidermal tissue covers leaves and young stems and roots of vascular plants. Most epidermal cells secrete waxy substances which form a cuticle, or waterproof covering, over the aerial surfaces of the plant, such as the stems and leaves. The cuticle also resists viral, bacterial, and fungal invasion.

Select the correct answer.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Respiration is a process in which energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with the addition of oxygen forming carbondioxode, water and energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). This process also occurs in the absence of oxygen but then low amount of energy is generated. This process occurs in mitochondria of the cell. The energy which is produced during respiration is used by the cell in different processes and activities such as movement, exercise and thinking etc.
