You have learned that humans have a total of 46 chromosomes and that chimpanzees have a total of 48 chromosomes. Use other textb

ooks in biological anthropology and biology (or reputable online resources) to find the number of chromosomes in other organisms. Give an organism with considerably more chromosomes than humans. Give an organism with considerably fewer chromosomes than humans. Did your findings surprise you? What did your research suggest about the relationship between chromosome number and organism complexity?

Answer:

The correct answer is included in the Explanation section

Explanation:

An organism with considerable more chromosomes than humans: the plant <em>Ophioglossum reticulatum</em> with 1260 chromosomes.

An organism with considerable fewer chromosomes than humans: the ant <em>Myrmecia pilosula</em> with 1 chromosome.

It might be thought that the chromosome number of a species is directly related to its complexity, meaning that an organism with a large number of chromosomes is more complex than an organism with a small number. However, this is not true. Chromosomes are structures of coiled DNA, and its number indicate how the cells wrapp their genomic material when they reproduce. The number of chromosomes is not related to the organism complexity, but rather the number of genes and their function.

Taste receptors on the tongue are not related to smell receptors of the nose.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>b. False</u>

Explanation:

  • As human has about 350 olfactory receptors and subtypes work in various conditions allowing us to sense about 10,000 doors. All senses of smell and tastes merge at the back of the throat.  
  • As you taste something before smelling it the smell lingers on inside in the nose which makes you smell it. As both the smell and taste are chemoreceptors which means both have chemically same sensing environments.
  • In addition, the division of taste receptors within the nose coordinate with activities, although humans can distinguish between the tastes from the smells of the objects.
  • Working together to create a perception of flavor through the nasal passage.

What is a distinction that can be drawn between macroevolution and microevolution?
nikitadnepr [17]
<span>Microevolution refers to changes in the genetic pool of a species population. The changes in the genes (probably gene and allele frequencies) are observed over short time periods hence are small changes. This is in comparison to macroevolution that observes huge changes over longer time periods  in the population that warrant that the new populations is considered to be a new species</span>

Based on Figure 1, which of the following statements best predicts the effect that a change from a moderately acidic environment
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Peroxidase activity increases and then decreases.

Explanation:

Peroxidase activity is greatly affected by the pH factor. Peroxidase works best at the pH of 7 while decrease or increase in pH will adversely affected its activity. So when change occurs from a moderately acidic environment having pH near 6 to a basic environment, the peroxidase activity increases when reach to neutral but decreases when go further to basic environment so we can say that peroxidase activity greatly affected on the pH of the solution.
