<span>The thymus.The thymus plays an important role in the development of T-lymphocytes which is an important type of white blood cell. It reaches maximum development at puberty and then the thymus begins to get atrophied (the shrinking of the thymus with age) and then the thymic stroma is replaced by fat tissue. Loss of thymic function is thought to contribute to weaker immune system of the elderly, increasing instances of diseases such as cancers and other infections.</span>

nirvana33 [79]
<span>The answer to this question is the second option-" carbohydrate polymers formed as water is removed". In the dehydration synthesis, polymers are created. This is when two molecules formed a new product which results the loss of water. So, this is a process of forming or making a new compound together with the removal of water.</span>

How does the temperature of the ocean or the land around a city affect the city’s climate?
Korolek [52]

Answer: Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate. ... Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

In a hypothetical population of 2500 people, 2275 people have brown eyes and 225 people have blue eyes (the homozygous-recessive
aev [14]

Answer:

In the next generation of 4000 children, 1680 of them will be heterozygous for the eye colour.

Explanation:

There's a population of 2500, 2275 of with have brown eyes and 225 blue eyes. <u>Let's call the dominant allele associated with brown colour "B" and the recessive allele associated with blue colour "b"</u>. So the possible genotypes are BB, Bb and bb, being BB and Bb brown eyed individuals and bb blue eyed individuals.

If the population it's in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it means genotypic and allelic frequencies don't change from one generation to the following.

From the information given, we can calculate both allelic and genotypic frequencies.

First, we know that the frequency of the genotype bb it's the amount of blue eyed individuals over the total population.

  • f(bb)=225/2500=0.09

Additionally we know the allelic frequencies can be related to the genotypic ones when the population it's in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Particularly we can say:

  • f(bb)=[f(b)]^2 => f(b)=[f(bb)]^(1/2)= 0.3 <em>(square root of f(bb)).</em>

Also, we can calculate the frequency of the B allele, as the probability of all alleles of the gene sum 1. In other words:

f(b)+f(B)=1 => f(B)=1 - f(b) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

So far, we have calculated the allelic frequencies, f(b)=0.3 and f(B)=0.7.

Now we can calculate the genotypic frequencies, using the equations of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

  • f(bb)=[f(b)]^2 => f(bb)=0.3^2=0.09
  • f(Bb)=2*f(B)*f(b) => f(Bb)=2*0.7*03=0.42
  • f(BB)=[f(B)]^2 => f(BB)=0.7^2=0.49

Finally, knowing that there are 4000 children in the next generation, to know how many of them are expected to be heterozygous for the eye colour, we should multiply the number of children for the probability of being heterozygous for the eye colour (which is the genotypic frequency for the genotype Bb).

  • Nº of heterozygous individuals = f(Bb)*total population= 0.42*4000
  • => Nº of heterozygous individuals =1680
