Veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction. Valves also help blood travel back to the heart against the force of gravity.

Cual es la funcion del enrollamiento del ADN
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Los cromosomas se forman cuando la cromatina se condensa durante la división celular, sólo en este proceso son visibles. Este proceso es muy importante, ya que esta condensación o sobre enrollamiento, hace que se economice espacio, si esto no sucediera, la cromatina excedería el espacio nuclear disponible.

An elderly woman in a nursing home no longer goes outside to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, has reduced her meat intake becau
malfutka [58]

Answer:

a. vitamin d and vitamin b12

Explanation:

Vitamins are groups of organic compounds that are essential in small quantities for healthy human growth, metabolism, development, and body function. Vitamins are found in plants and animal foods or sometimes produced synthetically. Deficiencies of specific vitamins produce specific disorders. Vitamin d and vitamin b12 are important vitamins that the body needs. The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight and it is very essential for strong bones, while vitamin b12 is naturally present in meats. Deficiency of vitamin d in the body can result in bone problems (including teeth) and it has also been linked to depression. Vitamin b12 deficiency can also affect mental functions by causing disorientation, memory loss, depression and confusion.  

From the question, the elderly woman may be developing a deficiency of vitamin d and vitamin b12.

IF there were a membrane separating two solutions one with 80% solute and the other with 20% solute, in which direction through
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

toward the 20% solute side of the membrane

Explanation:

that is the process of osmosis, in which the water moves in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

Basically it's to make it 50% 50%, so the water moves to the 20% solute side to raise the %

I hope it's clear enough.

Inga [223]

Complete question:

In the 1890s, Northern elephant seals were hunted almost to extinction. An unknown population of less than one hundred animals managed to survive on the tiny island of Guadalupe off of Mexico. The current population of over 100,000 is thought to be derived from that tiny remnant population. Compared to the Southern elephant seals (which did not experience such a bottleneck), the Northern elephant seals likely have -------- (Lower - Higher) genetic diversity and -------- (Lower - Higher) levels of genetic diseases.

Answer:

In the 1890s, Northern elephant seals were hunted almost to extinction. An unknown population of less than one hundred animals managed to survive on the tiny island of Guadalupe off of Mexico. The current population of over 100,000 is thought to be derived from that tiny remnant population. Compared to the Southern elephant seals (which did not experience such a bottleneck), the Northern elephant seals likely have Lower genetic diversity and Higher levels of genetic diseases.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change that occurs in the allelic frequency of a population through generations. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time. Eventually, some alleles get lost, while some others might set. Genetic drift affects a population and reduces its size dramatically due to a disaster or pressure-bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-.

In the exposed example, extensive hunting acted as a pressure that reduced the number of Northern elephant seals to fewer than 100. This population experienced one or many generations of small size since these animals were affected by hunting. As the survivors did not have the whole genetic pool of the original population,  the population size might have recovered to a current population size of 1000,000 individuals, but <u>the genetic pool might have not</u>. When the small population increases in size, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, there is a<u> reduced genetic variability</u>, with a possibility of developing a peculiar allelic component. If the survivors in the population carried or developed a mutation, probably this mutation passed from generation to generation. It will involve more individuals each time and<u> increase the probability of developing a genetic disease</u>.
