On a hike through the forest, you notice a population of 100 flowering plants that all look identical (phenotypic clones), and t

hey span an area of approximately 100 square meters. You take some representatives from one corner of their distribution back to the lab, sequence their DNA, and conclude that they are also genetic clones (i.e. genetically identical). Based on this information, state whether the statements below are true or false.
Also, provide an explanation.

1a. True or False: This population can evolve by natural selection.

1b. True or False: This population can evolve by genetic drift.

Answer:

1a. False

1b. False

Explanation:

They are genetic clones which make them identical so there is no difference in phenotype which is the key mechanism for evolution to occur through natural selection.

- since they are of one phenotype(genetically identical) genetic drift can not occur. For genetic drift to occur, there must be a change in the frequency of one allele within a population over a period of time and this genetic variation must occur randomly for a genetic drift to occur.

When a person is dehydrated, his or her iv fluids?
Lapatulllka [165]

When an individual is dehydrated, his or her intravenous fluids should be isotonic, because either a hypertonic or hypotonic IV would both cause damage to the individual’s red blood cells. Isotonic solutions are used: to increase the EXTRACELLULAR fluid volume because of blood loss, surgery, dehydration, fluid loss that has been loss extracellularly.

Which of the following statements is/are true of long noncoding RNAs? Choose one or more: a. They can trigger the activity of hi
Alinara [238K]

Answer: Options A, B, C and D are correct.

Explanation: They can trigger the activity of histone acetyltransferases.

These RNAs functions by binding to histone-modifying complexes, to DNA binding proteins (including transcription factors), and even to RNA polymerase II.

They can silence genes by promoting the formation of euchromatin by arranging hetero- or euchromatic regions into close proximity may stabilize these domains or it may control the spreading of post-translational modifications (PTMs) to nearest chromatin.

They are actively involved in X chromosome inactivation.

They can regulate the translation and stability of mRNAs.

In Eukaryotic cells RNA transcription is a closely regulated process. Transcription of a lncRNA may regulate the transcription of nearby mRNA genes, either positively (maintaining active chromatin structure) or negatively (for example, colliding polymerases). In these cases, the RNA product may have no importance at all, or it could have an additional function.

True or false: only a very small percentage of health care providers hold biased attitudes toward individuals who are obese.
posledela
False. If you search in Google Scholar or some other database using these keywords, you will see countless empirical, peer-reviewed research studies showing how healthcare providers are significantly influenced by their implicit biases regarding obese patients, leading to healthcare disparities.

Implicit bias refers to our unconscious decisions and perceptions of people, and if you want to learn more about it, I highly suggest you visit Harvard's Project Implicit online.

While implicit bias is pervasive, there still are some healthcare workers who are more explicitly biased towards their obese patients. This is also a serious problem.
