Cationic trypsinogen is an enzyme made in the pancreas that helps to digest food. It is encoded for by the PRSS1 gene. Individua

ls with a disorder called hereditary pancreatitis have mutations in the PRSS1gene, which result in inflammation of the pancreas, possibly leading to permanent tissue damage. The disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Imagine that you are part of a research team interested in determining the penetrance of a different PRSS1 mutation, Ala16Val. Your team has identified 120 individuals with the PRSS1 Ala16Valallele and found that 48 of the individuals did not display any evidence of pancreatitis. From your data, what is the penetrance of the PRSS1 Ala16Valmutation? Enter you a nswer as a whole number in the blank provided

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Penetrance in genetics is defined as a proportion of individuals that carry a certain gene (mutation of the gene) with the expressed phenotype (trait). In the example above we wanted to know  the penetrance of the PRSS1 Ala16Val mutation. Form 120 individuals, 72 of them expressed some evidence of pancreatitis (120-48). The proportion of them with the expressed trait can be calculated as 72:120=0.6 or 60%.

Give three examples of ways in which biology can help inform everyday decisions
ki77a [65]
Three examples that biology can help in our everyday lives:

1. When you are faced with an animal, for example, a snake, you will know how to deal with it. You will examine what species that the snake belongs to and you will be able to identify its weaknesses.
2. When you are lost in a forest and that everything around you are plants and trees, you will know what kind of plant is edible or not and you can survive in the forest by utilizing what is available at your disposal.

The majority of the world's energy is produced by burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuel combustion results in the release of carbon
Drupady [299]

The correct answer is option B, that is, the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases can change Earth's climate.

Fossil fuels refer to hydrocarbons, mainly fuel oil, coal, or natural gas, produced from the leftovers of dead animals and plants. The use of fossil fuels has allowed large-scale industrial development and hugely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of peat or wood for heat.  

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the biggest source of emissions of carbon dioxide that is, one of the greenhouse gases, which permits radioactive forcing and donates to global warming. One of the dreadful effects of global warming is the change in the climatic condition of Earth.

Due to its location, Hawaii does not have very many land birds. The Hawaiian honeycreepers are a favorite for many ornithologist
sdas [7]

Answer:

In speciation, organisms evolved with the passage of time.

Explanation:

Speciation is the evolutionary process in which populations of species evolve with the passage of time to become different species from the original one.  Temporal isolation and gametic isolation are two possible prezygotic barriers of the Hawaiian honeycreepers that contribute to occur speciation. The newly available niches could lead to speciation of that organisms that tolerate the Hawaiian climatic conditions when the extinction of Hawaiian honeycreepers occurs. The new organisms used the available resources such as food and space etc and increase its population.
