Answer:B

Explanation:

This reaction demonstrated Bohr effect. it takes place in the  cytoplasm  of RBC , because this is the location of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which catalyzed it .  

The hydrogen ion and bicarbonate  are transferred out  of the  RBC into plasma. Chloride ion diffused into the RBC to neutralize drop in pH(chloride shift).

 The hydrogen ion is mobbed by haemoglobin in its buffer effect, while the carbonate is transferred to the lungs  where it is broken down, to release C02 .85% of blood C02 is transported in this form .

The CO2 released out of  the lungs , created a concentration gradient for  influx of Oxygen into the lungs. This is the significance of this reaction.

In addition, Option D which involved direct reaction of C02 with Haemoglobin to form carbaminoheamoglobin  is another reaction which takes place in the RBC. it is a reversible reaction where the C02 is transported to the lungs.10% C02 is tranported in this form,

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____. a feature resulting from earthquake activity a feature
Monica [59]

The given blank can be filled with a feature resulting from hot volcanic rock.  

The geysers refer to the rare characteristics on Earth, only about 1000 of them prevail, and more than half of those are situated in Yellowstone. For a geyser to develop, there must be a source of volcanic heat, enough groundwater, and a geologic plumbing system via which the heated water can escape.  

The absconding of water takes place when the groundwater is heated by the hot volcanic rocks. The intensifying steam bubbles push the water above via the fissures in the rock until they overflow from the geyser.  

With the absconding of the top layers of the water, the pressure on the hotter waters below diminishes, leading to a violent chain reaction of explosions, which expand the volume of the rising boiling water by up to 1500 times or more.

Question:
Shkiper50 [21]

The reason that  might cause a reaction that originally proceeds through the path of X to change and proceed through the path Y is the addition of a catalyst.

<h3>What is a catalyst?</h3>

A catalyst is a substance that provides an alternative path for reaction. This implies that the energy tat s required to surmount the energy hump as the reactants are converted into products have been reduced. This can be seen in the fact that the energy hump between the reactants and the products in Y is lower than that in X

Thus, we could say that the reason that  might cause a reaction that originally proceeds through the path of X to change and proceed through the path Y is the addition of a catalyst. The catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reaction.

A scientist wants to begin making a DNA fingerprint, but she has only a very small DNA sample. What should her next step be
azamat

For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-

1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)

2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)

3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).

With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.

DNA within cells is usually wrapped around histone proteins to form a complex structure called chromatin. Describe how chromatin
user100 [1]

Answer:

Chromatin helps regulate DNA replication.

Explanation:

Chromatin helps condense DNA strands to smaller units that can be easily managed during DNA replication and gene expression. This also prevents the breakage of the strands and facilitates equal distribution of chromosomes during cell division (during mitosis and meiosis).
