Reproductive cells are haploid (have 1/2 the chromosomes), whereas somatic/body cells are diploid (have the full set of chromosomes)

This makes sense if you think about it. Using the example from the question, every dog has 78 chromosomes. This includes two of each (there are two chromosome 1's, two chromosome 2's, etc. This is visible in the karyotype attached). One set of these chromosomes were inherited from the mother, and one set from the father. Each parent contributed 39 chromosomes (one chromosome 1, one chromosome 2, etc.). If the dog in the question were to have 78 chromosomes in its sperm cells, it would contribute two sets to its offspring. When combined with the chromosomes in the egg cell, the offspring would end up with extra chromosomes. Therefore, both the sperm and the egg cells will have 39 chromosomes, one of each. When combined, they will produce offspring with 78 chromosomes, the proper number.

A researcher is carrying out an experiment where she labels a protein with a fluorescent tag (so she can visualize its location

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The protein likely travels through a common lumen shared by thylakoid membranes and grana, and cannot easily diffuse through the thylakoid membrane.

Explanation:

There is a lot of scientific research in which a specific molecule can be labeled with some fluorescent marker (usually carbon 14). This type of marking allows the researcher to make observations about the movement of these molecules, as you can see in the question above. About the research shown in the question, the researcher realized that the protein labeled with the fluorescent marker moved between the grana and was always in the lumen, so she can conclude that the selocomovement protein moved through the lumen that is shared between the tilacoid membranes and the grana.

A client with cancer is diagnosed with typhitis. which emergency intervention would the nurse perform?

Gnesinka [82]

Typhitis, also called neutropenic enterocolitis, is an infection that often develops in cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy. In many cases, surgical intervention is required.

Without surgical intervention, the patient would be transferred to an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) for monitoring, and the nurse would perform some or all of these emergency actions:
1. Bowel rest and nasogastric suction,
2. Serial abdominal examinations,
3. Providing intravenous fluids, blood, and platelet transfusions when needed,
4. Using antibiotics to fight the infection, and obtaining cultures to determine if the antibiotic is working,
5. Not administering medication that could worsen the situation.

The destruction of salt marshes will directly harm each organism except

soldier1979 [14.2K]

<span>The best answer to the question: "The destruction of salt marshes will directly harm each organism except" ... is Algae. Algae blooms are the biggest outcome of salt marsh destructions, which starve the water of oxygen making it uninhabitable, as the algae grows, it covers the surface of the water and harms almost every organism part of that ecosystem. So I would say algae.</span><span />
