Answer:

The correct answer is c. insulate and protect the fetus.

Explanation:

The amniotic fluid is a clear or yellowish liquid that surrounds and protects the fetus as it grows during pregnancy. This liquid consists of 97% water and contains salts, minerals and other substances that help the fetus to mature, and it also provides a constant temperature. The functions of the amniotic fluid are varied, but its main task is to act as a protective barrier (protecting the fetus from external shocks) and provide the fetus with water and mineral salts. On the other hand, being a sterilized medium, it insulates the fetus from possible maternal infections.

Answer: C. insulate and protect the fetus

Explanation: Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects an embryo while it is growing in the uterus. It serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus. It also protects the developing baby by cushioning against blows to the mother's abdomen, allowing for easier fetal movement and promoting muscular/skeletal development.

Explain the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle
Oksanka [162]

Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil.  During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification.  From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.

Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.

astraxan [27]

Complete question:

17. In the 1950’s a young woman sued film star/director Charlie Chaplin for parental support of  her illegitimate child. Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was already on record as type  AB. The mother of the child had type A (AO) and her son had type O blood (OO).

a. Complete a Punnett square for the possible  cross of Charlie and the mother.

b. The judge ruled in favor of the mother and ordered Charlie Chaplin to pay child  support costs of the child. Was the judge correct in his decision based on blood typing  evidence? Explain why or why not. *refer to any Punnett squares to support your answer.

Answer:

The judge committed a mistake in his decision. There are <u>no chances</u> for this couple to have a child who has 0 blood type.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was AB
  • The mother of the child had type A (AO)
  • The son had type O blood (OO).

Cross: Charlie Chaplin x The Woman

Parental)    IAIB    x    IAi

Gametes) IA   IB       IA     i

Punnett square)    IA          IB

                      IA   IAIA      IAIB

                        i    IAi        IBi

F1)  1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAIA genotype, blood type A

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAi genotype, blood type A

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAIB genotype, blood type AB

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny wouldl have IBi genotype, blood type B

According to the results of the cross observed in the Punnett square, there are no chances for this couple to have a child who has 0 blood type.

Blood type 0 can only be produced by two recessive alleles i, one inherited from each parent. The mother could provide the recessive allele because she is IBi, but Chaplin could not pass to his progeny any recessive allele.

The judge committed a mistake in his decision.
