Answer:
e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.
Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
Answer:
B. In plants, there are no sister chromatids.
Answer:
Cardiac output = 20 L/min
Explanation:
The cardiac output of a person refers to the volume of blood the heart pumps in a minute. The normal range for cardiac output is about 4 to 8 L/min. However, this can vary depending on the metabolic needs of the individual at any instant of time, for example, it is higher when exercising than when resting.
Cardiac output is calculated from the product of the stroke volume in liters/min and the heart rate in beats/min
Cardiac output = stroke volume * heart rate
For the individual who is running; stroke volume = 100 mL/beat or 0.1 L/beat
heart rate = 200 beats/min
Cardiac output =0.1 L/beat * 200 beats/min
Cardiac output = 20 L/min

Explanation:
7.
The entire cardiac cycle is as follows:
- Deoxygenated blood enters the right ventricle from the superior and inferior vena cava.
- The right atrium pumps the deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle.
- From the right ventricle, the deoxygenated blood moves to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
- After gaseous exchange, the oxygenated blood returns to the heart into the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
- From the left atrium, blood moves to the left ventricle.
- Oxygenated blood is pumped by the left ventricle into the aorta which supplies blood to all parts of the body.
- Deoxygenated blood, collected from the body again enters into the right atrium via the vana cava.
