Considering that males can have Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome, XYY, and normal XY chromosomal combinations, and females can have Tu

rner (XO) syndrome, poly-X (XXX, XXXX), and normal XX combinations, it is obvious that
(A) maleness results from the presence of only one X chromosome
(B) maleness results from the absence of two or more X chromosomes
(C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome
(D) femaleness results from the presence of two or more X chromosomes

Answer:

(C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome

Explanation:

Human males have one Y and one X chromosome as their sex chromosomes. However, the human males with Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome have two copies of X chromosome as the human males but also have one Y chromosome. Similarly, human females have two X chromosomes as sex chromosomes but the females with Turner (XO) syndrome have only one X chromosome and the females with poly-X (XXX, XXXX) have more than two X chromosomes.

This means that the  Y chromosome regulates sex in human beings. If one copy of the functional Y chromosome is present in the cells, the fetus will develop into a male. The absence of a functional Y chromosome will make the fetus develop into a female.

In terms of ATP, how much more energy does the aerobic respiration process produce?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Aerobic respiration process produce either 36 ATP or 38 ATP depending on the amount of NADH moles while Anaerobic produces 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration produces 32-34 ATP more

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration has 3 steps which includes; Glycolysis which produces 2ATP; Krebs cycle which produces 2 ATP and Electron Transport Chain which produces 32 - 34 ATP depending on the molecule of NADH introduced into the reaction from the kreb cycle

What are three ways body systems work together to maintain homeostasis?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.

For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.

Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)

An increase in global air and water temperatures likely caused <span>these changes in population size.</span>
