Answer:

A. many shellfish are filter feeders that absorb toxins from the water is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • shellfish are filter feeders.
  • shellfish filter water by absorbing particles and toxins present in the water, they maintain the water quality by pumping the water with the help of their cilia that cover their gills.
  • Shellfish need a large amount of dissolved oxygen and their excess is a sign of the good quality of water.
  • There are different types of shellfish such as crab, clams, oysters, crayfish, and mussels.

thus option(A)  many shellfish are filter feeders that absorb toxins from the water is the correct answer.

Find a start signal, and write the amino acid sequence that is coded for. 5'...gccauguuuccgaguuaucccaaagauaaaaaagag...3'
Greeley [361]
The start signal is AUG which codes fo methionine. The amino acid sequence will be as follows: <span>Met-Phe-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Pro-Lys-Asp-Lys-Lys-Glu. The first codon (GCC) codes for alanine but not in the amino acid sequence because it is not a start codon (the only start codon is AUG which codes for methionine).

How did the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the isolated skeletal muscle when the frequency of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

When the frequency of stimulation of a muscle increases -without it having the opportunity to relax- a process called summation (addition) occurs, promoting an increase in the generation of force in the isolated skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

Summation is a phenomenon that occurs as a consequence of the arrival of successive stimuli that produce the contraction of the skeletal muscle before it achieves its partial or total relaxation, between subsequent stimuli.

<em>When the summation occurs in the muscle, the force generated on it increases its magnitude proportionally to the number of stimuli received, maintaining the muscle contraction in time</em>.

Tetany is the prolonged contraction of a muscle in an abnormal way, by the summation of stimuli received , as some bacterial toxins can produce. The summation can be temporary -when multiple stimuli reach the muscle in a determined time- or spatial, when the amount of stimuli activates a greater amount of motor units.

Sickle-cell trait is caused by a single defective allele, but sickle-cell disease only occurs in individuals that are homozygous
Pavel [41]

Answer:

6,25%

Explanation:

Considering that the couple has a trait of sickle cell anemia, we know that both are heterozygous for the disease (Aa) and therefore can have children with the following genotypes:

Parents: Aa X Aa

Children: AA(A x A), Aa(A x a), Aa (a x A) and aa(a x a)

Knowing that sickle cell anemia only occurs in homozygous individuals, the probability for children to have the disease according to each crossing is:

A x A = 1/4 = 25%

A x a = 1/4 = 25%

a x A = 1/4 = 25%

a x a = 1/4 = 25%

The probability of forming each homozygous child (aa) is 1/4 or 25%. Since they are two children, the probability of both having sickle cell anemia is calculated by multiplying the probability of each, so:

1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%

It is concluded that the probability of a heterozygous couple for sickle cell anemia to have two children with the disease is 6.25%.
