Answer

          The correct option is C.

Reason

           The gentic code of mule is different from the parents due to sexual reproduction. As  mule is the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare).  

Chromosome number

                  The diploid number of chromosome in horse is 64 while its reproductive cell contain haploid number of chromosome that is 32. Similarly the diploid number of chromosome in donkey is 62 and its reproductive cells contain haploid chromosome that is 31.

Sexual reproduction

                       During sexual reproduction when male donkey is crossed with female donkey a mule is formed having diploid number of 63 chromosome which is completely different from the genome of their parents.

Which of the statements regarding the cell cycle is true? Group of answer choices It is regulated by cyclins and CDKs. Different
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Cell cycle is the process of growth and division of cell. It comprises of interphase and mitosis. In interphase the cell grows, replicates its genomic content and prepares itself for division. In mitosis the division occurs.

Cell cycle is controlled by a group of kinases called as Cyclin dependent Kinases (CDKs). They act by phosphorylating their substrates. They are of various types like Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk4 etc. They become active when they bind to a regulatory protein called cyclin. They are also of various types like Cyclin A, Cyclin B, Cyclin C etc. Level of cyclin and corresponding CDK increases and decreases according to the stage of cell cycle. For example in S phase of cell cycle concentration of cyclin A and E shoots up. CDK2 is able to bind to these cyclin molecules and hence it becomes active.

Cell cycle has major checkpoints where the condition of cell is analysed before it proceeds to the next stage of cycle. If any abnormality is detected, repair mechanism is activated or the cell is killed. Checkpoints do not allow cell cycle to proceed in damaged cells.

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which can halt cell cycle when it detects some abnormality in cell. It usually acts in G1/S checkpoint (before the DNA replication starts in cell) and G2/M checkpoint (before the cell division begins). Hence, all of the above statements are true.

A protein channel in a hydrogen ion pump is shown below. What would happen if the concentration of H+ ions were higher inside th
inessss [21]

Answer:

The H+ ions moves outside.

Explanation:

The H+ ions moves outside the mitochondria of the cell if the concentration of H ions were higher inside the mitochondrion than outside environment of the mitochondrion in order to equalize the pH or H+ ions concentration of both inner side of mitochondria and outer side environment. This movement of H+ ions from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower through a semi-permeable membrane is known as osmosis which has a positive effect on the cell as well as organelles of the cell.

dimaraw [331]

Unfortunately no, my friend is not correct. The CO2 pollutants leaving his exhaust are warm, yes, but that is why our atmosphere is creating global warming which is affecting climate in all regions. When there is more people that means more cars and more pollutants being dispersed into our atmosphere.

Females who lift weights are not going to develop large, bulky muscles because __________.
Sloan [31]

Females who lift weights are not going to develop large, bulky muscles because they have lower testosterone levels than men.

<h3>What is testosterone?</h3>

Testosterone is defined as the main sex hormone of the males that are produced in the testicles.

The functions of Testosterone include

  • bone mass,

  • fat distribution,

  • muscle mass and strength, and

  • the production of red blood cells and sperm.

This hormone is produced in small quantities in females therefore, females who lift weights are not going to develop large, bulky muscles.
