What plant requirement is the Cusichaca Andina group working to preserve
qaws [65]

The Cusichaca Andina is the name of an organization, which is attempting to preserve a small, pink potato from the Andes, known as huana. It is considered one of the perfect crops for uncertain times, as it resists extreme rain, frost, and drought. It can be stored for two to three years.  

The organization is also trying to revive the irrigation facility, which Incas utilized in the Andean region, and researching other conventional crops, like amaranth, quinoa, squashes, and potatoes.

To survive, an organism must be able to maintain stable internal conditions in a changing environment. This process is called ho
Reptile [31]

Answer:

1. Initial air temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)

2. Initial body temperature: 37 °C (99 °F)

3. The expected effect of different factors on body temperature are:

   A. Raising air temperature: Increase

   B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

   C. Adding clothing: Increase

   D. Exercising: Increase

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, it is necessary to look for a software related to this homework.

<u>Homeostasis is a property of organisms that consists in their capacity to maintain a stable internal condition by compensating for changes in their environment</u> through the regulated exchange of matter and energy with the exterior. It is a a dynamic equilibrium controlled by a mechanism of feedback that constitute the self-regulating mechanisms. Examples of homeostasis are temperature regulation and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (pH)

The Human Homeostasis Gizmo™ is a software that allows you to explore  how the human body stays at a nearly constant  temperature in different conditions.  To use it, you have to set the air temperature at 0 °C (32 °F) and the body temperature at 37 °C (99 °F), and click Play. After a simulation of 1 hour, then click Pause and gather the information. Then, do the same cprocedure  to test the effect of other factors and Click Reset between each trial. To determine the effect of different factors on body temperature, you have to compare the  final body temperature to the final body temperature while  there is no specific movement or change.

Then:

1. Initial air temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)

2. Initial body temperature: 37 °C (99 °F)

3. The expected effect of different factors on body temperature are:

   A. Raising air temperature: Increase

   B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

   C. Adding clothing: Increase

   D. Exercising: Increase

This is for a logical reason, anything you do to heat it or generate heat, will increase the temperature. And anything you do to generate cold, will lower the temperature.

The effect of different factors on body temperature according to Gizmo:

   A. Raising air temperature: Increase

   B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

   C. Click Add to a sweatshirt, hat, pants, and  parka. Then, adding clothing:

   Maintained

   D. Set the Exercise level to 70%, then exercising: Increase

When the temperature increases, it is because you are able to record the results from the software and you see temperature goes from 99 °F to 100 °F. When the temperature decreases. it is because it goes from 99 °F to 97 °F. When it is maintained, there is no change.

Alu element at the PV92 locus on Chromosome 16. In this population, 436 people have a heterozygous genotype and 102 people have
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the exercise we can infer that for the Alu insert:

p: positive allelic frequency

q: negative allelic frequency

maintaining that the population is in equilibrium we can carry out the following formula

p + q = 1 and pp + 2pq + qq = 1

looking for the genotype frequency we clear and obtain the following data

genotype frequency of 2pq = 436/1000 = 0.436

The genotype frequency of qq = 102/1000 = 0.102

This is how we look now:

number of positive people for Alu = 1000- (436 + 102) = 1000- 538 = 46

In this way it is resolved that:

genotypic frequency of pp = 462/1000 = 0.462

  p = 0.462 + (0.436 / 2) = 0.462 + 0.218 = 0.680

q = 0.102+ (0.436 / 2) = 0.102 + 0.218 = 0.320

According to the exercise carried out it is deduced:

The value of p in the population is = 0.68

We conclude that our prognosis showing a homozygous positive genotype is: 0.462
