Answer:

Explanation:

Life cycle describes the cycle of life. Life goes through different stages over time. It starts with birth and ends with death. But the cycle re-starts and the end becomes the beginning.

Changes in matter describes matter in different states. An example is water - when you are hot, you want ice to chill down. Ice is water in solid form. When you are thirsty, you want to drink liquid water. When it is cold outside, the warm steam from a hot bowl of soup feels so good. Steam is water in gas form.

pH (acids & bases)  is a measure of acidity. Orange juice you drink is very acidic and has a low pH. Even though soda does not taste like acid, it is mildly acidic and has a pH under 7. Soap you use to wash hand is a base and have a high pH above 7.

Answer:

The kidneys help maintain the acid–base balance by excreting hydrogen ions into the urine and reabsorbing bicarbonate from the urine.The buffer systems functioning in blood plasma include plasma proteins, phosphate, and bicarbonate and carbonic acid buffers. The kidneys help control acid-base balance by excreting hydrogen ions and generating bicarbonate that helps maintain blood plasma pH within a normal range.There are several buffer systems in the body. The most important include: (1) bicarbonate buffer (HCO3–/CO2), (2) haemoglobin buffer (in erythrocytes), (3) phosphate buffer, (4) proteins, and (5) ammonium buffer.pH is a measure of the hydorgen ion concentration of a solution. Solutions with a high concentration of hydrogen ions have a low pH and solutions with a low concentrations of H+ ions have a high pH. This may seem like a confusion way to express these reationships, and it is, until you understand what pH stands for.Whereas the buffers in your body and your lungs are involved in the rapid adjustment of your blood's pH, the kidneys adjust the pH more slowly. Under normal conditions, the kidney's main role in acid-base balance is through the excretion of acid in the form of hydrogen (H+) ions.Your blood needs the right balance of acidic and basic (alkaline) compounds to function properly. This is called the acid-base balance. Your kidneys and lungs work to maintain the acid-base balance. Even slight variations from the normal range can have significant effects on your vital organs.Perfectly competitive markets represent the most extreme form of capitalism, where the firms are totally subject to the market forces. ... A price-taker has no choice but to operate with the price set by the interaction of the market demand and supply curves.

Describe the process of altering the genetic variation of a cell using a genetically modified virus for human gene therapy. In t
Len [333]
In human gene therapy, a genetically modified virus (a.k.a. a viral vector) can alter the genetic variation of a cell, but not all viral vectors do.

The process often begins with the delivery of or creation of a segment of viral double stranded DNA (containing the gene you want to introduce). Then typically an enzyme known as an integrase cuts the ends of the segment of viral DNA and also cuts open the cell's DNA. Then the viral DNA is integrated/ inserted into the cell's DNA. The connecting ends are ligated together and adjusted so that the nucleotide base pairs match up.

This in the future may affect the gene pool for instance if the viral DNA (your gene) was inserted in the middle of another gene or important regulatory sequence of the cell DNA, and this alteration may be passed on into offspring and become present in the gene pool, which could have bad effects.

The effects on the gene pool really depends on what the virus ends up doing. For example, it may fix the function of a damaged gene which is the goal, and allow for a working gene to be in the gene pool, which would be good. The problem with gene therapy is that it's difficult to predict 100% what the virus will do every time it is given to a patient.

But it's very important to consider that it will only affect the gene pool if the virus is able to enter and alter germ cells (reproductive cells). If the virus, enters somatic cells (regular body cells) this will not be passed on to future generations. So viruses can be designed to avoid germ cells and avoid this gene pool issue. Also, some viral vectors use viruses that do not integrate their DNA, the cells just express the viral DNA (create the desired protein from it) and over time the viral DNA is degraded/ lost which wouldn't pose this threat.

This is long, but I hope it helped!

What are three types of homologies that can be seen in organisms? Give example of each homologous?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1. Iterative homology: e.g. antenna and leg of fiddler crab

2. Ontogenetic homology: e.g. radular teeth of veliger, feathers of chicken and hen

3. Di-polymorphic homology: e.g. white and brown feathers of hen races, chelae of male and female of fiddler crabs

4. Supraspecific: e.g. chelae of fiddler crab, chelae of lobster, feathers of hen and pheasant
