Answer:

C. paracentric inversion

Explanation:

In the given chromosome with sequence ABC[*]DEFGH, the segment with "FG" was broken and then joined in the opposite direction resulting in the chromosome which is now represented as  ABC[*]DEGFH. Inversion is a chromosomal abnormality in which the breakage and rejoining of chromosomal segments result in the presence of a genetic segment oriented in the opposite or reverse direction. The inversions in which the centromere is outside the inversion loop are called paracentric inversions. Since inversion in the given segment did not involve centromere, it represents paracentric inversion.

What technology are scientists using to search for other planets? How are they using this technology to identify other planets?
Anni [7]

They use radiometry and pyrometry

NASA uses the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satelite (TESS) telescope that employes this technology

This telescope measures the brightness/luminosity of stars. When this brightness drops regularly, every more or less in the same number of years, then there is the likelihood of a planet orbiting the star. The dip in brightness of the star is directly proportional to the size of the planet and the distance between the star and the orbiting planet.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with white pulp and red pulp.

Explanation:

In the lymphatic system, the spleen is considered as the largest organ. It is situated in the upper left part of the abdominal cavity, the main function of the spleen is to filter blood containing the destructed cells, pathogens like viruses and bacteria, and cellular debris.  

The spleen generates and develops the mature immune cells, which possess the tendency of finding and eliminating the pathogens. The white pulp of the spleen comprises the immune cells, that is, the B and T lymphocytes, which help in fighting against the pathogens.  

On the other hand, the red pulp of the spleen comprises connective tissue called the cords of Billroth, and various splenic sinusoids, which are filled with blood, providing it a red appearance. Its main function is to filter the blood containing microbes, pathogens, and worn-out or the defective RBCs.
