Answer:

11. D.

12. A.

13. D.

14. B.

15. A.

16. B.

17. B.

18. Refer to the explanation (I highlighted it so you can browse easier)

19. B.

20. C.

Explanation:

11. Codominance is a non-mendelian inheritance pattern. It is when two dominant traits are inherited and both are expressed in the organism. Because both are dominant, a blended expression of the trait results in the off-springs.

12. Look at the cross for this problem below:

XHXh and XHY

      XH        Y

XH XHXH  <em>XHY</em>

Xh XHXh   <em>XhY</em>

<em></em>

The mother is a carrier, so that means she is heterozygous for the trait hemophilia. Look at the sections with XY. We see that a son can inherit the recessive trait and the other does not.

13. The two main stages of the cell cycle would be interphase and mitosis. Interphase is the phase of the cell-cycle where the cell prepares for cell division. It is at interphase where DNA is duplicated and the cell grows. Mitosis is the actual phase where division takes place.

14. The Human Genome Project or HGP is a collaborative research program that aims to determine the COMPLETE sequence of the human DNA and to identify the locations of the genes in the sections of all chromosomes. It also aims to create maps that link inherited traits across generations.

15. Recombination is a genetic process where DNA is broken down and then recombined to poduce different traits in the off-springs. This can be done between different organisms to produce combined traits.

16. From mRNA, the sequence is translated by the tRNA or transfer RNA. The tRNA carry amino acids that code for specific sequences. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

17. 3-letter sequences in mRNA code for a specific amino acid. These are collectively known as codons. These codons match up with anti-codons of tRNA which code for specific amino acids.

<em>18. For this problem, you did not provide a Punnet but I can help you out by showing you the different possible crosses because the answer would depend on the cross. Look at the attached image. </em>

<em>If your problem is like CROSS 1 then the answer would be 75 percent would be Purple and 25 percent would be white. </em>

<em>If your problem is like CROSS 2 then the answer would be ALL will be purple.</em>

<em>If your problem is like CROSS 3 or CROSS 4, the answer would be half of the offspring will have purple and half would have white. </em>

19. Cells interact with other cells nearby and throughout the body depending on what needs to be done. Cells can interact with nearby cells directly, or they can do this chemically or through other processes as well, especially when they are far apart.

20. Females receive X chromosomes from both parents. Females have a pair of X chromosomes. Going back to your problem, because the trait is recessive and the mother is only a carrier and the father is not a carrier, the chances of a female off-spring inheriting the trait would be 50%. You can look at the cross below:

XHXh and XHY

      XH        Y

XH XHXH  XHY

Xh XHXh    XhY

As you can see in the cross, one of the daughters did not receive the recessive trait XHXH.

What causes the weather conditions using what we learned.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The sun's solar radiation and the wind's movements.

Explanation:

The heat from the sun and air movement is responsible for the weather on Earth. All-weather takes place in the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, which is a gaseous layer that surrounds the planet. The heat of the sun causes the air in this layer to warm to various temperatures in different regions.

If the release of thyroid hormone (TH) was regulated by a long-loop negative feedback, where would you find the cells that are i
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Lower levels of T3 and T4 in the blood or lower metabolic rate serve as signal and stimulate the release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. The TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which in turn makes the thyroid gland to release the thyroid hormones.

The elevated levels of thyroid hormones inhibit the release of TRH from the hypothalamus and that of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland.

Hence, the cells of hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland would be inhibited by the binding of thyroid hormone to regulate the release of these hormones by a negative feedback mechanism.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

1. Ends of the respiratory branches are called alveoli.

2. C. To control blood flow to different areas of the body depending on activities

Explanation:

1. The trachea divides into left and right primary bronchi which in turn divide multiple times upon entering the lungs and make the bronchial tree.

The final branches of the bronchial tree are the terminal bronchioles that lead to alveoli. The alveoli are the balloon-shaped structures and serve as the site of gas exchange between the blood and inhaled air.  

2. The opening and closing of sphincters of capillary beds regulate the direction of blood flow. The opening of sphincters allows the blood to flow into associated branches of capillary beds while closed sphincters direct the blood from arterioles to venules via thoroughfare channel.

This local change in blood flow is responsible for the autoregulation of blood flow to different tissues to match their respective metabolic demands. For example, during physical activity, more blood is directed to skeletal and cardiac muscles.

How did the military strategies of the north compare to those of the south during the capture of port royal
Wittaler [7]

In the military strategy of the south the army remains effective, and mobile before an enemy that is stronger to wear it off over time. The plan of the military strategy of the north has three steps: the Union called for the blockade of the south coast, the capture of Richmond, the capture of Mississippi R.
