Which of these values would most likely be the heritability of body mass index (BMI) in a developing country with a large gap between nutrition and health care available to the rich and poor?

a. 0.33

b. -0.88

c. 0.99

d. 0.0001

e. 1.3

Answer:

a. 0.33

Explanation:

Body Mass Index is defined as the measure of fat depending on the height and weight of individuals. It is being calculated as: BMI=\frac{mass_{kg}}{height_{m^2}}

The most likely heritability of body mass index(BMI) in a developing country with a large gap between nutrition and health care will be 0.33.

These is because in developing countries especially countries experiencing rapid economic growth as illustrated by the annual GDP growth rate are likely to have widely ranging lifestyles due to influences of the burgeoning economy, Therefore, there are greater chances for the rich  to have access to the basic requirements and necessities of life whereas the poor are limited with either low or no access to adequate nutrition and health care.

What determines whether or not a body system is likely to remain phylum over the course of evolution?
marishachu [46]
Bauplan is the assembly of the body structure which is common in the organisms belonging to the same phylum. The Same bauplan determines that a body part of the organisms are same and they will be in the same phylum in the Evolution also. Bauplan includes symmetry, segmentation, and limb disposition.

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome. Match the w
schepotkina [342]

The answers;

1. Termination. Out of the 64 codons, UAG, UAA, and UGA are the stop codons that terminate translation when encountered by the ribosome. These three do not code for any amino acid but rather cause the translation complex to dislocate.


2. Translation. In this process, the ribosome ‘reads’ the codon and brings in a t-RNA with an anticodon to the codon. This tRNA carries a specific amino acid (for that codon) and engages in the P-site of the ribosome. The amino acid is taken from the t-RNA and used to elongate the polypeptide chain being formed. Thereafter the empty t-RNA dislocates.


3. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. When a tRNA brings in an amino acid to the initiation complex, it is dislocated when ‘empty’. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase then catalyzes the reattachment of another amino acid through a chemical reaction called esterification. The cognate tRNA then become an aminoacyl-tRNA.


4. tRNA . Every tRNA has an amino acid attached to it. The type of amino acid (out of the 22 amino acids) is determined by the anticodon on the tRNA. There are many codons that are amino acids meaning that there are redundant codons that specify for the same amino acid.


5. Initiation. Initiation begins by the formation of an initiation complex. This complex is comprosed by the two subunits of the ribosome, and the mRNA. The complex becomes compelete when a Met-tRNA (a tRNA with a methionine amino acid) engages the P-site and then translation begins.

Name two effects unbalanced forces can have on an object. Provide an example of each effect.​
stealth61 [152]

The two kinds of unbalanced forces are:

  • Net Force: Is the vector sum of all forces acting (pushing or pulling) on an object.
  • Resultant Force: is a force that alone produces the same acceleration as all those forces.

To effects that unbalanced forces have on objects are:

  • Can make an object move or stop.
  • Can speed up or slow down an object.

Here are some examples:

  • When falling out of a plane when sky diving, this is making you move faster. Then when you are using a parachute, you are slowing down.
  • A man uses force to roll down an object from the top of a hill.
