Biology

I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

Compared to a cell with few aquaporins in its membrane, a cell containing many aquaporins will A. have a faster rate of osmosis
Aloiza [94]

The correct option is A: have a faster rate of osmosis

A cell containing many aquaporins will have a faster rate of osmosis.

Aquaporins are micro water channels within the membrane that allow for the exchange of water and other neutral molecules over the biological membranes of other organisms.

Due to the presence of Aquaporins in plants, they have a high diversity of regulation properties, localizations, and transport selectivity.

The rate of osmosis increases as the aquaporins facilitate the transfer of water at a faster rate.

What are the methods used to conserve biodiversity
iVinArrow [24]

With the actions of the humans the biodiversity is facing a huge problem in most of the world, the habitats are destroyed, forests are cleared, animals are killed, water and air are polluted...

In order to conserve the biodiversity there are certain things that have to be put in action. The methods for conservation can be in-situ methods and ex-situ methods.

The in-situ methods are the preferred ones, as these methods are focused on conserving the environment as it is. This basically means that the ares that have larger biodiversity, and especially where there's species that are rare, should be made national parks, sanctuaries, monuments of nature, thus being protected by law.

The ex-situ methods are the ones that involve the conservation of the species outside of their natural habitat. That is done with gene banks, sperm and ova banks, seed banks, zoos and botanical gardens, collections of In vitro plant tissue and microbal culture, and captive breeding of animals and artificial propagation of plants.

Describe two differences between normal stem cells and the other cells in your body?
lina2011 [118]

Answer: Stem cells are like baby cells that haven’t decided what they want to be yet, so they could become anything. The other cells in our body already have either DNA to be a skin cell, muscle cell, kidney cell, red blood cell (to carry oxygen which binds to hemoglobin in the RBC), or a WBC (which helps fight off infections such as bacteria and viruses). I hope that this helps. Misty RN, BSN

Why is rubisco so prevalent and important?
BartSMP [9]

Answer: RuBisCO is very important in biology and ecology because it catalyzes the primary chemical reaction by which inorganic carbon permanently enters the biosphere. RuBisCO is also the most abundant protein in leaves and the most abundant protein on Earth.
