Answer:
The correct answer would be a loss of sensation to pressure and touch.
The dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway abbreviated as DCML refers to the sensory pathway of the central nervous system (CNS) which transmits sensations of vibration, fine touch, proprioception, and two-point discrimination from the skin as well as joints.
Thus, injury to the dorsal column would result in the loss of sensation to touch and pressure.
Fat; they store twice as much energy per gram
Energy and matter characterize both physical and biological systems. These systems are defined both by the types of energy and matter they contain and by how that matter and energy move through and between systems. ... This means that energy and matter can change forms but cannot be created or destroyed.
Answer:
Crossing two chickens heterozygous for the trait feather color, when brown feathers are dominant over red feathers, will produce offspring with brown and red feathers in a brown:red phenotypic ratio of 3:1.
Explanation:
Knowing that in chickens brown feathers are the expression of the dominant allele (B) and the recessive allele is red (b), crossing two heterozygous individuals (Bb) will result in offspring that are likely to have brown or red feathers.
The cross can be represented by a Punnett Square:
<u>Bb X Bb cross
</u>
alleles B b
B BB Bb
b Bb bb
Where the result is:
<u>Genotypes</u>:
<u>Phenotypes</u>:
- Brown feathers, 75%
- Red feathers, 25%.
In this case, the probability of having brown or red feathers is 3:1.
Answer:
Explanation:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, non-irritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is 28.01 g/mol, melting point −205.1 °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) −191.5 °C (−312.7 °F), density 1.250 kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and 1.145 kg/m3 at 25 °C and 1 atm, and relative density (air = 1) 0.967 (1,2). Its solubility in water at 1 atm is 3.54 ml/100 ml at 0 °C, 2.14 ml/100 ml at 25 °C and 1.83 ml/100 ml at 37 °C.
The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air (28.01 vs approximately 29). It mixes freely with air in any proportion and moves with air via bulk transport. It is combustible, may serve as a fuel source and can form explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen, acetylene, chlorine, fluorine and nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans either by sight, taste or smell. It is only slightly soluble in water, blood serum and plasma; in the human body, it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).
The relationship of carbon monoxide exposure and the COHb concentration in blood can be modelled using the differential Coburn-Forster-Kane equation (3), which provides a good approximation to the COHb level at a steady level of inhaled exogenous carbon monoxide.
Conversion factors
At 760 mmHg and 20 °C, 1ppm = 1.165 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.858 ppm; at 25 °C, 1 ppm = 1.145 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.873 ppm.
