Do you think it would be possible to construct a pyramid where the number of carnivores was more than then number of herbivores?

1 answer:

5 0

No, this would not be possible because there has to be a greater number of herbivores to support the population of carnivores. If you run out of herbivores in a population, the carnivores would die off.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS1) is a rare hereditary disorder that leads to a predisposition to cancer. This hereditary disorder is

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

CHK2, p53, p21, cell cycle progression.

Explanation:

In a normal cell with no LFS mutation, during the G1 stage of cell cycle progression, the CHK2 activates if there is damage in the DNA. CHK2 activates p53, which is a tumor suppressor protein that will hold the cell cycle in G1/S until the DNA is repaired. The p53 protein activates p21, a protein that binds to CDK2 and stops the cell cycle. The cell cycle will continue once the damage is repaired.

Which of the following is a correct statement about sugar movemetn in phloem?

Simora [160]

Answer:

a. movement can occur both upward and downward in the plant

Explanation:

The phloem loading causes the accumulation of sugars in the sieved elements generating a negative solute potential (quedas), with a drop in water potential (ψw), so water enters the sieved elements increasing the turgor pressure (ψp). With the discharge of phloem in the drain occurs lower concentration of sugars in the screened elements, increases the solute potential, becoming positive, thus the phloem water potential increases and thus the water leaves the conducting vessel. In the specific case of sugar movement in the phloem, it can be stated that this movement can occur both up and down in the plant.

[Chapter 3-4] A cross was carried out between the following two pureline parental strains:Parent 1: A/A; b/b; D/D; e/e; F/FParen

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Following the selfing of the F1 from the cross between the two parental strains, what proportion of the F2 individuals will phenotypically resemble either one of the two parental lines?

= 7.03% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 1

= 2.34% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 2.

Explanation:

Parent 1: AA; b/b; D/D; e/e; F/F

Parent 2: a/a; B/B; d/d; E/E; f/f

F1 Progeny: A/a; B/b; D/d; E/e; F/f

knowing that the F1 progeny is selfed, the possible gamete outcomes are:

ABDeF , ABDEf, ABdeF, ABdEf

AbDeF , AbDEf , AbdeF , AbdEf

aBDeF , aBDEf , aBdeF , aBdEf

abDeF , abDEf , abdeF , abdEf

All gametes are either eF or Ef (the two parental genotypes) and never EF or ef.

At the A, B and D loci, the F1 are heterozygotes. Therefore, in the F2 progeny, for each locus, 3/4 of the progeny will have the dominant trait while 1/4 will have the recessive phenotype. Further, 1/2 of all F2 progeny will have the haplotype eF and the other half will be Ef.

Proportion of progeny resembling Parent 1:

Parent 1 has the Phenoytpe AbDeF. As previously discussed, 3/4th of all F2 progeny has the phenotype A, 1/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype b, 3/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype D and 1/2 of F progeny has the phenotype eF.

Thus, the proportion of progeny resembling Parent 1

= 3/4 x 1/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 = 0.0703125

= 7.03% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 1.

Proportion of progeny resembling Parent 2:

Parent 2 has the Phenoytpe aBdEf. As previously discussed, 1/4th of all F2 progeny has the phenotype a, 3/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype B, 1/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype d and 1/2 of F progeny has the phenotype Ef.

Thus, Proportion of progeny resembling parent 2

= 1/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 = 0.0234375

= 2.34% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 2.

How do the structures in an organism relate to their functions?

alexdok [17]

The structure of cells is linked to their function. For example, lung cells are very thin, which allows gases to diffuse easily through the cells
