bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer no 1)

Corn is a cereal grain which was first known to be domesticated by the people of south Mexico. Corn has been produced since then over the world due to many useful properties which it possesses. It is not only used as a food source but is also being used a fuel as corn ethanol. Nowadays, corn is being genetically modified to enhance its characteristics.

Answer No 2)

Plant domestication was important because it led to the development of agriculture. It allowed for the various techniques to be developed which were used in agriculture for better crop production.

Answer No 3)

Domestication can be described as a process for breeding certian plants and animals at home. Domestication allowed the animal species to be taken more care of and those species with better traits were interbred to produce offsprings with better traits. This allowed to increase the genetic diversity of the domesticated animals.

Answer No 4)

Selective breeding can be described as a process in which organisms of species having better characteristics are inter bred so that offsprings with better characteristics can be produced. This technique is very useful in domestication and agriculture.

Answer No 5)

Sedentism is a term which is used for describing the practise of living in one place for a long period of time. Before the process of domestication and agriculture, people moved from one place to another continuously. But certain factors caused sedentism which were:

1) domestication: Domestication made people to not move from one area to another as they had to take care of their plants and animals.

2) Agriculture: Domestication allowed agriculture to take place. People did not move because they had to take care of their crops.

3) Property: As the processes of domestication and agriculture increased, people started making properties like houses and it became more problematic for them to leave their homes after this process. Hence, the settled down.

Answer No 6)

By the processes of hunting and gathering, the early farmers came to know about the variety of plants and animals. They came to know that which plants would beneficial to grow and which animals were harmless for domestication. Their knowledge about plants such as herbal plants, food plants were later beneficial to early farmers.

Answer No 7)

Agriculture innovations can be considered as biotechnology because the phenomenon of selective breeding was applied to produce plants with better characteristics. Agricultural biotechnology also tends to produce plants with better qualities by manipulating their genome. Hence, agricultural innovations such as selective breeding can be considered to be a part of biotechnology or ancient biotechnology.

Answer No 8)

Sedentism was beneficial in a way that it allowed humans to settle in a place but their were certain drawbacks. Some of them are:

1) the area where the farmers settled could produce only certain types of crops.

2) If a disaster situation occurred, such as a pesticide then it wood infect all the crops and hence all crops would be destroyed.

Biotechnology enable to produce crops which are disease resistant or pest resistant. It also enable to produce crops in better varieties of quality and quantity.

Answer No 9)

Bakewell was an agriculturist who introduced the techniques of selective breeding and to improve the qualities of domesticated animals. Selective breeding can be considered as ancient biotechnology. In future, biotechnology was implied to produce plants and animals with better characteristics just like selective breeding.

Answer No 10)

Agriculture led to technological and biotechnological innovations so that the increasing demand for food resources can be met. As novel technologies, such as biotechnology, produce better varieties of crops hence their discovery led to the enhancement of agricultural field.

Which structure is highlighted? proximal convoluted tubule descending loop of Henle distal convoluted tubule ascending loop of H
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

distal convoluted tubule

Explanation:

This is the region  of the nephron downstream the macula densa ,which extends the  to convulence of the collecting duct.Due to response to  mineralocoticoid aldosterone they can be categorised as Distal Convoluted 1 and Distal convoluted 2. This steroid hormones is responsible for homeostatic control of hyperkalemia.

The DCT cells are simple cuboidal epithelium.The stained or  pointed part of the image represented this possess this shape,they are therefore portion of DCT. Besides the stained cells are located above the glomerulus ()in  the cortex as indicated,therefore they can not be the proximal which must be  below the glomerulus, based on the  shape ascending and descending loop of Henle (despite  located in the cortex too).

The functions of the DCT is  in the absorption and secretions of ions(majorly ca+,Na+ and chloride ions.By secreting hydrogen and reabsorbing  HC03 ions ,the pH of the urine is maintained.

A mutation occurs that leads to
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The sickle-cell allele is widely known as a variant that causes red blood cells to be deformed into a sickle shape when deoxygenated in AS heterozygotes, in which A indicates the non-mutant form of the β-globin gene, and also provides resistance to malaria in AS heterozygotes.

Lesson 01.04 Properties of Water
ryzh [129]

Answer:

1= In living organisms cells are composed of water or we can say that water is one of the important constituent of cells.

2= Hydrogen bonding import man properties to the water such as cohesion, high heat of vaporization, high heat capacity etc.

3= Because of high polarity, all polar substance get dissolve and make it universal solvent.

Explanation:

Solvent is the that part of solution which is present in large proportion and have ability to dissolve the solute. In simplest form it is something in which other substance get dissolve. The most widely used solvent is water, other examples are toluene, acetone, ethanol, chloroform etc.

Water is called universal solvent because of high polarity all polar substance are dissolve in it. Hydrogen is less electronegative while oxygen is more electronegative and because of difference in electronegativity hydrogen carry the partial positive charge while oxygen carry partial negative charge.

Hydrogen bond:

The hydrogen bond is the attraction between the toms which already take part in the other chemical bons. The one atom is hydrogen while other may be oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine.

The hydrogen bonding in water import man y properties in it such cohesion, high heat of vaporization, high heat capacity etc. The hydrogen bond hold the water molecules together.

Water create electrostatic interaction with other polar molecules. The negative end of water attract the positive end of polar molecules and positive end of water attract negative end of polar substance and in this way polar substance get dissolve in it.

Example:

when we stir the sodium chloride into water the cation Na⁺ ions are surrounded by the negative end of water i.e oxygen and anion Cl⁻ is surrounded by the positive end of water i.e hydrogen and in this way all salt is get dissolved.
