The Exxon Valdez spilled more than 10 MILLION gallons of oil into the Prince William Sound, damaging marine life.

Ten million

On March 24, 1989, the oil truck Exxon Valdez reached Alaska's Prince William Sound, after leaving the Valdez Marine Terminal full of crude oil. At 12:04 am, the ship uncovered a reef, ripping open the hull and discharging nearly 10 million gallons of oil into the atmosphere. Initial acknowledgments by Exxon and the Alyeska Pipeline Company were inadequate to accommodate much of the spill, and a hurricane swept in soon after, spreading the oil extensively.

Eventually, more than 1,000 miles of coastline were polluted, and hundreds of thousands of species of plants and animals died damaging the marine life to the greatest extent.

Why is the heart/lung machine necessary when performing heart transplant surgery?
Stella [2.4K]

The heart/lung machine is necessary when performing heart transplant surgery because during surgery, the actual heart is stopped so the heart/lung machine acts as a substitute heart that supplies oxygen and pumps blood to the body until the actual heart start functioning.

Why would a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection?
Mashcka [7]

When a somatic cell is mutated, none of the other cells in the organism mutate with it. Screenings usually detect mutations that are in numerous cells and not in just one. That is why a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection.

<h3>What are mutations?</h3>

A mutation in biology is an adjustment to the nucleic acid sequence of an organism's, virus's, or extrachromosomal DNA. DNA or RNA can be found in the viral genome. Errors in DNA replication, viral replication, mitosis, meiosis, or other types of DNA damage (such as pyrimidine dimers from exposure to ultraviolet radiation) can result in mutations.

These errors can then lead to error-prone repairs, particularly microhomology-mediated end joining, error-causing repairs, or errors during replication. Due to mobile genetic elements, mutations can also result from the insertion or deletion of DNA segment.

Which of the following experiments would be considered unethical?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. Taking blood samples from patients for research purposes

without consent

Explanation:

Generally, providers may not render medical services without the patient’s consent, unless performance of emergency, lifesaving care is necessary. Taking samples from a patient is a type of medical service; thus, state consent laws apply. In addition, providers may not disclose PHI without patient authorization.

It depends on the definition of unethical being used, however I think I am right. I'm in AP bio currently. Let me know what the answer is :)

According to the data above, humans exhibit a high chance of surviving into old age.
Rom4ik [11]

Based on the data provided, we can conclude that the graph in question corresponds to the K-selected theory in regards to the human species.

When considering the data of certain species and grouping them into categories such as extinct, endangered, or K/r-selected we take into account factors such as:

  • Population size
  • Behavior
  • Carrying capacity
  • Reproduction rates

and so on, then classify each species accordingly.

Species that are Extinct are no longer on the earth. This classification refers to species of the past and does not include humans as of yet. The endangered category is reserved for species whose population sizes are <u>at a critical low and are near </u><u>extinction</u>, which is also not the case for humans.

The K-selected and r-selected theories consider reproduction rates and carrying capacity as well when grouping species. Species that produce few offspring at a time are often found in this group. This category also refers to species whose offspring have a high chance of survival into maturity and whose population size is near the limit of the environment. All of this follows the data given and is the classification for the human species.
