Darker skin is more prevalent in high-UV areas. Dr. Nina Jablonski proposed a hypothesis to explain the selective pressure for d

arker skin in these environments. On what evidence did she base this hypothesis? Darker skin is more prevalent in high-UV areas. Dr. Nina Jablonski proposed a hypothesis to explain the selective pressure for darker skin in these environments. On what evidence did she base this hypothesis? the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects circulating folate from being destroyed by UV radiation, and folate is important in human reproduction the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer people of African descent all have the same version of the MC1R gene, indicating that this gene was under selection she discovered that people of African descent have less folate circulating in their blood and that folate is important for human reproduction

The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer

In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure  that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.

A woman with type A blood (whose father was type O) has children with a man that has type O blood. Both individuals are heterozy
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A woman with type A blood (whose father was type O) meaning her genotype is AO mates with

Man that has type O blood (OO genotype)

Both are heterozygous for MN blood group and both also heterozygous for the FUT1 gene controlling the synthesis of the H substance (Hh)- which determines the expression of the A and B antigen.

Cross

A O M N H h

O AO OO M MM MN H HH Hh

O AO OO N MN NN h Hh hh

Type A- 1/2 O-1/2 type M- 1/4 MN-1/2 N- 1/4, type H- 3/4 h-1/4

Type A with M antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32

Type A with M and N antigens:

1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16

Type A with N antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32

Type O with M antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4= 3/32

Type O with M and N antigens:

1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16

Type O with N antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32.

The 3/4 value comes from the expression of Hh-3/4 (this determines if the A and B Angie will be expressed).

Which of the following is typically associated with a reduction in photosynthesizing plants in a water supply? (2 points)
Sphinxa [80]
A decrease in dissolved oxygen.
This is because oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. If the plants are in water, some of the oxygen they produce will become dissolved in it. Without those plants, you have less dissolved oxygen.

A protein is transported in a secretory vesicle and discharges into the extracellular space in a continuous fashion. What type o
Reil [10]

Answer:

Exocytosis

Explanation:

Exocytosis is a type of active transport in which the cell membrane fuses with secretory vesicles and expels their content (water-soluble molecules, hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) into the extracellular space. Exocytosis can be regulated or constitutive. Regulated exocytosis occurs in response of a specific signal while constitutive exocytosis secretes molecules without the need of a signal. Ca2+ is an external signal that triggers regulated exocytosis which is particularly important in neuron synapses.
