Answer:

BSL or the biological safety levels refers to an array of protections consigned to autoclave-associated activities, which occurs in specific biological labs. The BSL-3 refers to the biosafety level that generally comprises work on microbes, which are either exotic or indigenous and can result in potentially or extreme lethal disease via inhalation. The examples of microorganisms that are handled in BSL=3 comprises West Nile virus, yellow fever, and the bacteria, which leads to tuberculosis.

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The microbes would be toxic or have potential to cause a lethal disease.
  • Highly infectious, like Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is readily and highly transmitted by inhalation and aerosol means.
  • Can contaminate the environment.
  • The treatment or prophylactic measures are expensive and inefficient.

What is the role of renin in the secretion of aldosterone?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Aldosterone is a hormone which is produced by the adrenal glands which are present above the kidneys. The role of aldosterone is to regulate the blood pressure. It causes the reabsorption of water and salts into the bloodstream during the kidney filteration process. Hence, maintains the blood volume, restors blood pressure and salt level.

Renin is an enzyme. It facilitates chemical reactions which stimulates the synthesis of angiotension II, it directs the synthesis of aldosterone.

1. Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently
maria [59]

Answer:

a. 1/64 AATTDD

b. 1/64 aattdd

c. 8/64=1/8 AaTtDd

d. 2/64 = 1/32 AATTDd or aattDd or AAttDd or aaTTDd

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Flower position: Axial (A) is dominant to Terminal (a)
  • Stem length: Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t)
  • Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r)

<u>Cross</u>:

Parental) AaTtDd   x   AaTtDd

Knowing that these four genes assort independently, then we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

  • AA= 1/4

       Aa =2/4

       aa = 1/4

  • TT = 1/4

        Tt = 2/4

         tt = 1/4

  • DD = 1/4

        Dd = 2/4

        dd = 1/4

<em>This is the same as developing a Punnett square for each gene separately.</em>

Knowing this, to get each of the mentioned genotypes for each trait, we must multiply their respective genotypic proportions, like this:

a. homozygous for the three dominant traits, AATTDD

   AA1/4 x TT 1/4 x DD 1/4 = AATTDD 1/64

b. homozygous for the three recessive traits, aattdd

   aa 1/4 x tt 1/4 x dd 1/4 = aattdd 1/64

c. heterozygous for all three characters, AaTtDd

   Aa 2/4 x Tt 2/4 x Dd 2/4 = AaTtDd 8/16=1/8

d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape. There are four possibilities, all of them with the same result:

AATTDd --> 1/4  x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aattDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

AAttDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aaTTDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32
