Answer:

D. Aneuploidy

Explanation:

Aneuploidy refers to the presence of extra or missing copies of specific chromosomes. The presence of one extra copy of a chromosome is referred to as trisomy. The absence of one copy of a chromosome is called monosomy. According to the given information, the fetus has 45 chromosomes while the humans have a total of 46 chromosomes. This means that the fetus was monosomic (aneuploid) for a chromosome.

Which one of the following is NOT an example of microbial antagonism?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

e. bacteria producing vitamin K

Explanation:

Microbial antagonism basically refers as microbes versus microbes i-e the indigenous microflora serve a beneficial role by preventing other microbes from becoming established in or colonizing a particular anatomic location in the body.

As all the options mentioned, refers to the microbial antagonism except option E as the normal microbes protect the host by :

1) Producing acids.

2) Bactreocin production

3) By occupying the niches that the pathogens may occupy.

But the microbes cant compete with other microbes by  producing vitamins and growth factors that can be utilized by the host.

Hence option E is the right answer.

Amyloid fibrils are associated with many fatal degenerative diseases of humans and livestock. Livestock diseases such as scrapie
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Amyloid fibrils have a high amount of β-sheet structure.

c. Because most newly synthesized proteins fold correctly, the accumulation of misfolded proteins (or fragments) tends to occur slowly, thus explaining the slow onset of disease.

e. Proteins that form amyloid fibrils are normally soluble.

Explanation:

Amyloids can be defined as fibrillar protein aggregates composed of a β-sheet secondary structure. In general, the amyloid fibrils are composed by soluble proteins that are assembled to form insoluble resistant to degradation fibers. In humans, defective amyloid proteins produced by misfolding are known to produce diseases (amyloidosis) capable of altering the function of tissues and organs. Systemic forms of amyloidosis are common in neurodegenerative disorders.

there are multiple chickens and rabbits in a cage there are 72 heads and 200 feet inside of the cage how many chickens are in th
schepotkina [342]
The answer is 44 chickens and 28 rabbits.

We have a system of two equations.
x - the number of rabbits
y - the number of chickens

Both chicken and rabbit have only 1 head, so the first equation is: x + y = 72.
Since rabbits have 4 legs and chickens 2 legs, the second equation is: 4x + 2y = 200.

Now, let's solve the system:
x + y = 72
4x + 2y = 200
___________
y = 72 - x
⇒ 4x + 2 · (72 - x) = 200
4x + 2 · 72 - 2 · x = 200
4x + 144 - 2x = 200
2x + 144 = 200
2x = 200 - 144
2x = 56
⇒ x = 56 ÷ 2 = 28
So, there are 28 rabbits.

Since
y = 72 - x = 72 - 28 = 44,
there are 44 chickens.

A person's blood type is determined by the:_______
matrenka [14]

Answer:

) Presence of specific glycoproteins on the cell membrane

Explanation:

When specif glycoproteins(antigens)  or antibody are present on a cell membrane of Red blood cell,they can  be used to identify the blood type.Antigens are substances capable of triggering an immune response in a cells.

In addition,they function in transport of molecules across the RBC. They help in the maintenance of the RBC,and aiding the arrest of cells capable of causing diseases to the body.

Therefore,they are good determinants of blood types,based on this two types of antigens present in a  blood type.

These two antigens  used for classification of blood types are the 1-the ABO antigens 2,the Rhesus antigens.

Essentially,when a WBC produces an antibody ,which is a molecule that defends the body,If this is not compatible,the antibody will recognize it as a foreign body and attack it.Thus such blood types are not compatible. Thus the antibody-antigen reaction are good for knowing and classify blood types.

Antigen can also be glycoprotein,carbohydrate or glycolipids.

Generally blood types are inherited from both parents.Therefore the antigen present on the RBC are combination of the alleles from each parent.
