Answer:

Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature.

Explanation:

Water is relatively heat-resistant (high specific heat), so approximately 1/3 of the solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface is dissipated to heat water in rivers, lakes and oceans. As there is a higher incidence of solar radiation in the tropical regions of the globe, ocean currents are important heat carriers for higher latitude regions. This property means that water has a high heating capacity.

Outline two parts of the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton each​
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Furthermore, the axial skeleton consists of six parts: the skull, the ossicles of the middle ear, the vertebral column, hyoid, rib cage, and the sternum while the appendicular skeleton consists of limbs and girdles. Axial and appendicular skeleton are the two main parts of the endoskeleton of vertebrates including humans.

What would happen to a plant cell in a hypotonic solution
mash [69]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>When a plant cell is placed in a hypo-tonic solution It becomes turgid and hard.</u>


<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A hypotonic solution refers to a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution. When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become "turgid" i.e. swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside.

In a diploid species of plant, the genes for plant height and fruit shape are syntenic and separated by 18 m.u. Allele D produce
KiRa [710]

Answer and Explanation:

Crossing-over between two genes that are very close to each other in the chromosome is not that common. Crossing-over during meiosis occurs random positions all along the chromosome. Then, crossing-over frequency between two genes depends on the distance between them. A short distance between genes is a very little target for crossing-over to occur, which means that only a few of them will happen, compared with the number of events between genes that are more separated between each other.

  • Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.
  • Two separated genes will have more chances of recombination and are not bound.

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.  

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which the recombination frequency is 1 in 100 meiotic products.

So, en the exposed example:

a.

Identify the gametes for a plant with the genotype DR/dr and label parental and recombinants

Gametes     DR parental type

                   Dr  recombinant type

                   dr  parental type

                  dR recombinant type

Give the frequency of each gamete type.

               18 map units = 18 % of recombination in total

                                    = % Dr + % dR

                                     = 9% + 9%

                100% - 18% = 82% of parental in total =

                                    = % of DR + % dr

                                    = 41% + 41%

The frequency for each gamete is:

DR 41%

dr 41%

Dr 9%

dR 9%

b.

Identify the gametes for a plant with the genotype Dr/dR

Gametes     Dr parental type

                   DR  recombinant type

                   dR  parental type

                   dr recombinant type

Give the frequency of each gamete type.

              18 map units = 18 % of recombination in total  

                                     = % DR + % dr

                                     = 9% + 9%

                100% - 18% = 82% of parental in total =

                                    = % of Dr + % dR

                                    = 41% + 41%

The frequency for each gamete is:

Dr 41%

dR 41%

dr 9%

DR 9%

Explain how the interactions between different types of disease can affect the prevalence of a disease around the world
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Different types of disease may interact. This can mean that the presence of one disease can lead to a higher chance of developing another disease. Defects in the immune system mean that an individual is more likely to suffer from infectious diseases.

Explanation:

Hope this helps
