In this project, you will analyze claims about the causes of inherited genetic variation. You will then make your own claim base

d on prior knowledge. Next, you will defend your claim by conducting research to gather information that supports it. Finally, you will present your claim and defense in a typewritten paper.

Answer:

The two major causes of the inherited genetic variation are 1-mutations during DNA replication and 2-crossing over during meiosis

Explanation:

The mutations are changes in the genetic information that may be inherited when they occur in germline cells (i.e. sperms and ova). Mutations include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions and deletions (collectively named indels), and major chromosome arrangements such as, for example, aneuploidy, centric fusion, duplications, etc. On the other hand, the crossing over or recombination is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during Prophase I of Meiosis. Recombination is a phenomenon that generates new genetic combinations in the gametes and thus increase genetic diversity. Both germline mutations and crossing over events increase genetic variation in the offspring of the next generation, thereby these phenomena represent sources of inherited variation.

Calculate the frequency of b cells specific for antigen a on day 36 if the antibody concentration on day 36 is about 8 × 103. (f
matrenka [14]
-The number of B cells producing the antibody is proportional to the concentration of that antibody.

-On day 16, one out of  100000 B cells are specific for antigen A
\frac{1}{100000} = 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells

- on day 16, Antibody concentration is  2 × 10¹= 20 Antibodies
- on day 36, antibody concentration 8 × 10³.= 8000

20 antibodies ------------ 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells
8000 antibodies--------------x

x= (8000 x 1 x 10⁻⁵)/ 20
x= 4x10⁻³ or 1 in 250 are <span>B cells specific for antigen A</span>

which structure in leaves allows the gaseous reactants and products of photosynthesis to move in and out a b c d
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Stomata

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique phenomenon which occurs in the Chloroplast of plant cells. It is the way they synthesize their food in form of glucose. However, like every metabolic reaction, photosynthesis requires certain reactants and products.

Photosynthesis combines carbondioxide (CO2) gas and water (H2O) in the presence of sunlight to produce Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas (O2). The gaseous components of this metabolic activity enters (C02) and leaves (O2) the plant via a structure in the leaves called STOMATA.

STOMATA is a pore found in the epidermis layer of plant leaves that aids in the exchange of gases i.e. carbondioxide in, oxygen out during Photosynthesis.
