Suppose concordance data were collected from a cohort study of twins to study the genetic contribution to the onset of type 1 di

abetes, also called juvenile diabetes. Both monozygotic (identical) twins and dizygotic (fraternal) twins who grew up together in the same household were included. The concordance rate was found to be 68 % among monozygotic twin pairs and 5 % in dizygotic twin pairs.What general conclusion about type 1 diabetes can be drawn from these results?a. There is low penetrance of the type 1 diabetes phenotype. Therefore, genetic and environmental effects cannot be estimated.b. The heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high, indicating that genetics plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment. c. No results can be drawn because too many potential variables are present in the study to make a reliable conclusion about how twins develop type 1 diabetes. d. The environment plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than genetics, indicating that heritability is likely low.

Answer:

The heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high, indicating that genetics plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment.

Explanation:

Identical twins are formed when a single zygote separates into two embryos after the process of fertilization. Hence, these twins arise from the same egg and sperm.

Fraternal twins arise when two different sperms fertilize two eggs at the same time.

Hence, we can say that the genotype of the identical twins is similar.

The results from concordance data prove that genetics play a higher role in type 1 diabetes.

2. Can the classification system change? If so, provide an example of a way it has changed in the past. (2 points)
Elis [28]

Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.

But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).

Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota

the rapid depolarization phase of the action potentials of myocardial contractile cells is due to which ion(s)?
Oduvanchick [21]

The rapid depolarization phase of the action potentials of myocardial contractile cells is due to Na⁺ ion.

The depolarization is caused when Na⁺ ions rapidly enters into neuron through open sodium channels. Sodium ions plays important role in various physiological process such as regulating blood volume, ph regulation,  maintaining blood pressure, energy metabolism,osmotic equilibrium, excitation-contraction coupling, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, development and growth.

Please help ASAP! Describe at least one way in which each of Earth’s subsystems was altered during the Precambrian era.
trasher [3.6K]

The Precambrian era envelopes the major bulk of the history of the Earth, beginning from the creation of the planet approx 4.5 billion years ago and terminating with the origination of composite, multicelled forms of life approximately 4 billion years after.

The Precambrian refers to the earliest of the geologic ages that are signified by the distinct layers of sedimentary rock. The Earth was about more than six hundred million years old when life started. The planet had cooled down from its native molten state, creating a solid crust and oceans formed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

At about three billion years ago, the atmosphere of the Earth was virtually devoid of oxygen. At approximately 2.4 billion years ago, oxygen was discharged from the seas as a waste product of photosynthesis by cyanobacteria. The levels of the gas slowly raised, attaining about 1 percent around two billion years ago.

Approximately 800 million years ago, the levels of oxygen attained about 21 percent and started to breathe life into more composite species. The oxygen-rich ozone layer was also created, protecting the surface of the Earth from the harmful solar radiation.

A. How many cells are present at the beginning of mitosis?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The answer is one cell.

Mitosis is a cell division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells. So, at the beginning of mitosis, there is only one cell. It will undergo different stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis) which will result in the formation of two daughter cells that are identical to the mother cells.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)
