For meiosis, this is in anaphase I. For the separation of sister CHROMATIDS in mitosis, this is anaphase. Either way, the separation of two whole chromosomes or two chromatids within one whole chromosome takes place during anaphase. This occurs after metaphase and before telophase and cytokinesis.
Answer:
To maintain body homeostasis
Explanation:
The endocrine system consists of the endocrine glands that release hormones directly int the blood. Those hormones bind to their receptors on the target cells and thus regulate their function. The major glands are:
pineal gland-releases melatonin, controls sleep cycle
pituitary gland-control growth, blood pressure, thyroid glands and metabolism etc.
pancreas-secretes insulin and glucagon, control of blood sugar levels
ovaries, testes-reproductive role (release female and male hormones)
thyroid gland-controls metabolism and protein synthesis
parathyroid gland-controls Ca levels
hypothalamus-connects nervous and endocrine systems, controls other glands
adrenal glands-release adrenalin and steroid hormones.
Answer:
Deleterious alleles appear sporadically in a population
Explanation:
A population with a deleterious allele will have no or few individuals that have the ability to pass along these traits. These alleles appear less in a population because of selective pressure but they are not always absent. The alleles appear less often but are are not always passed on and the others that are genetically fit are able to pass along their genes. The reason the population equilibrium is not zero is because these alleles do appear but they are not necessarily passed along. These individuals may not be able to reproduce or reach the age of reproduction.
Deleterious alleles appear more often, making individuals less fit genetically, i.e. they pass fewer copies of their genes to future generations. Put another way, natural selection purges the deleterious alleles.
Answer: Life would cease to exist.
Explanation:
The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.
Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.
Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:
--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.
--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes
--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.
All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.
Answer:
cant really answer much since you need the class results for these. but i can simplify question 1. so, does the class results prove that the traits made my dominant alleles are the most common? or in other words, are traits made by dominant alleles most common in the class results?
number 4 is yes because there are more possibilities that the dominant trait will occur than the recessive trait. therefore, it is more common and the conception is correct
