Whales were hunted nearly to extinction primarily for their blubber, which was burned in oil lamps to light buildings. Whale oil

lamps have been replaced by electric lighting, but the survival of the western North Pacific whale population is not guaranteed. Do you think it could be ethical to hunt a species to extinction to meet the needs and wants of human society?

Answer:

This is unethical.

Explanation:

Every creature contributes one way or the other to the existence of  ecosystem,and the   stabity of the biodervasity. The whale is one of the major componets of the aquatic biodiversity .Therefore continous killing whch may lead to extinction  would distablized rthe bioderstiy and leads to the loss of ecosystem.

Besides,if whales goes into exticntion this would  affet  the future generations to learn from  their existence?Therefore for preservation for future generations,they must be protected for extictinon.

The advent of  biotechnology,has shown the genetic products of human and  animals could be used to produce genetically modifjed product for humanity Thus if whale goes into exticntion this may not be possible.

Occasionally, some lethal allele (like sickle cell) is unusually common (more than 50% heterozygotes). what does this tell us?
MrRa [10]
It tells us that there is selection pressure in that particular habitat that selects for individuals with these alleles.

In the case of sickle cell, malaria is the selection pressure as individuals with the sickle cell trait are more resistant to the deadly malaria.

Some Calvin Cycle enzymes contain disulfide bonds that must be reduced through a mechanism involving thioredoxin in order for th
Ann [662]

Answer:

There is no regulatory protein that oxidizes these Calvin cycle enzymes; oxidation is spontaneous.

Explanation:

Four enzymes of the Calvin cycle are regulated by sunlight. These enzymes are namely Ribulose 5-phosphate kinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphatase, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

The inactive form of these enzymes has disulfide bonds between two Cys residues. In the presence of sunlight, the reduced thioredoxin that obtains electrons from PS-I via ferredoxin reduces the disulfide bonds between the Cys residues of these enzymes.

The reduction of the bonds brings about the confirmation changes to make the enzyme active.

At nightfall, these bonds are spontaneously re-oxidized and there is no reduced thioredoxin available to reduce them again. The spontaneous oxidation of the disulfide bonds of these enzymes at nightfall makes them inactive again.

Which statements explain reasons why unconformities occur? Check all that apply.
likoan [24]

Answer:

3. Rocks erode and sediment is deposited.

4. No sediment is deposited over a long time.

Explanation:

An unconfomity is a break in stratigraphic record of a place usually as a result of non-deposition or erosion.

In a sequence of sedimentary rock strata some surfaces called unconformity surfaces gives clues about the depositional history of a particular place. During an unconfomity, there is usually no sediment deposition and when deposition resumes, the underlying rocks and the new ones will not share the same attribute especially by age. Unconformity can also be as a result of erosion of a sequence.

In the case of non- conformity, a sedimentary rock is deposited above an igneous or sedimentary rock. Option 5 is a simple example of an igneous intrusion called a sill. It is not unconformity.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

I am so sorry if this is too late but your answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

Weakness and nausea are the responses of vomiting and fever. Because people tend to feel weak and uneasy after vomiting. Body temperature also increases resulting headache and body cramp.

       The stimulus that causes he response is coldness and weakness. And the purpose of the response of a fever is that it raises the body temperatures so that the bacteria and germs that causes the fever get kill or destroy that are sensitive to temperature changes.
