A scientist wants to examine living cells lining the respiratory tract to determine how the cells use tiny hairs to move dirt an

d mucus away from the lungs. Which one of the following instruments would be best, and why?
A. a light microscope, because it allows observations of whole, live cells
B. a transmission electron microscope, because it has high resolving power
C. a transmission electron microscope because it is capable of very high magnification
D. a scanning electron microscope, because it can reveal structures on cell surfaces
E. a scanning electron microscope, because it can be used to observe whole cells without slicing them

Answer: A light microscope, because it allows observation of whole, live cells

Explanation: The electron microscopes (transmission and scanning) cannot and should not be used with living cells because the electrons utilized will destroy the living cell. It is important to highlight the differences between the three types of microscopes listed above.  The transmission electron microscope uses <em>electrons </em>to create an image through the sample which can be magnified and focused onto a device than can then produce an image. The <em>scanning electron</em> microscope uses electrons to provide an image by scanning the sample. The light microscope is the normal microscope that is used in all laboratories. As stated in the name, light microscopes use light and magnifying lenses to view the sample. The light and lenses allow the sample to not be affected if it is a living sample.

Two frog populations (same species) living in two neighboring lakes sing slightly different courtship songs. Increased irrigatio
dedylja [7]

Answer:

C. The songs will become more similar to each other.

Explanation:

To answer this question, first, you need to remember that both populations belong to the same species, so they can mate because there is no reproductive barrier. The only limiting physical factor impeding individuals of both groups to cross was the piece of land before the land got wetter. So once populations got together, individuals can easily mate.

One population´s males exhibit a courtship song that slightly differs from the one of the other group. This difference has a genetic basis. But females hardly notice the difference. All of them prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs, independently of the population to which they belong.

So when the two populations get together, individuals get mixed. Females do not recognize males of their group, and during the breeding season, all females will mate the most with louder males of any of the population. So females from population A might mate with males from population B, and females from population B might mate with males from population A. So after mating season, there is also a genetic mixture between populations.

The new generations will carry elements of both genotypes. So males´ songs will be even more similar to each other. Songs will become more similar to each other because individuals of both populations are mixed and mated, and their genes intercrossed, producing new individuals with genes of both populations.

1.) Explain how you identified the chromosomes in order to place them in the correct pairs.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

A chromosome is a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle. This three-dimensional genome structure plays a significant role in transcriptional regulation.Chromosomes are normally visible under a light microscope only when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division (where all chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell in their condensed form). Before this happens, every chromosome is copied once (S phase), and the copy is joined to the original by a centromere, resulting either in an X-shaped structure (pictured here) if the centromere is located in the middle of the chromosome or a two-arm structure if the centromere is located near one of the ends. The original chromosome and the copy are now called sister chromatids. During metaphase the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome. In this highly condensed form chromosomes are easiest to distinguish and study.In animal cells, chromosomes reach their highest compaction level in anaphase during chromosome segregation.

Chromosomal recombination during meiosis and subsequent sexual reproduction play a significant role in genetic diversity. If these structures are manipulated incorrectly, through processes known as chromosomal instability and translocation, the cell may undergo mitotic catastrophe. Usually, this will make the cell initiate apoptosis leading to its own death, but sometimes mutations in the cell hamper this process and thus cause progression of cancer

densk [106]

Answer:

6 giraffes

Explanation:

If an area can provide 450 pounds of food for the giraffes and the giraffes eat 75 pounds of food per day, you can divide:

450 by 75= 6

6 giraffes is the capacity for that area
