Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Firstly, in order for both parents to be type A and have children with type o blood, their blood types must both be Ao. Since o is a recessive blood type, a punnett square shows there is a 25% chance any child of theirs will have type o blood. If neither parent is color blind and they have a son who is, it implies that the mother is a carrier of colorblindness and has the genotype XᴮXᵇ. If you do a punnett square of the not colorblind father (XᴮY) and the mother, it shows that a daughter would have a 0% chance of being colorblind. Therefore colorblindess is irrelevent, since there is no possibility of the daughter not having normal color vision. In conclusion, there's a 25% chance she will have type o blood and not be colorblind, since the other 75% chance would be having type A blood and not being colorblind.

How would you make 2.5 liters of an aqueous solution containing 150mM Tris (the MW of Tris is 120g/mole)? (Hint: Do the necessar
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

Explanation:

Recall that:

<em>Number of moles  = molarity x volume</em>

Hence, number of moles of Tris present in 2.5 liters, 150 mM solution:

= 150/1000 x 2.5 = 0.375 moles

Also, recall that:

<em>No of moles of substance = mass/molar mass.</em>

Hence, mass of 0.375 moles substance:

= no of moles of the substance x molar mass of the substance.

= 0.375 x 120 = 45 g.

Therefore, in order to prepare 2.5 liters, 150 mM of an aqueous solution of Tris, 45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

By the end of prophase, each of the following has occurred except ____.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Lining up of chromosomes in the cell .

Explanation:

Prophase begins with the Thickening of chromosome. Chromosomes are clearly visible inside the nucleus. each chromosome splits longitudinally to form two chromatids.

The centriole in the centrosome of animal cell divides into two. The centrosphere set the centrioles free. Centrioles develop very fine eye-lash like thread called aster rays. the two asters start moving towards the opposite poles. By the end of prophase they reach at the opposite poles.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Option B and E and D

Explanation:

Technological advancement has led to growth of industries and manufacturing units and hence the net production of goods. This has led to the use of natural resources and release of pollution of all forms. Environmental research leads to intrusion into niche habitats and hence causes its destruction.

Option B, D and E are correct

What specific part of the cell/structure allows the mucus secretions to be thick and viscous rather than fluid (i.e., is it a me
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The CFTR behaves like a channel for chlorine. Its dysfunction affects both the transport of this ion and other ions and the transport of water, which causes a thickening of secretions, an alteration of mucociliary transport and local defenses, facilitating bacterial colonization and promoting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in the airway

Explanation:

CFTR is a protein expressed in the epithelial cells of the respiratory system, pancreas, bile ducts, sweat glands and genitourinary system. It is made up of a single chain made up of 1,480 amino acids. It contains 12 hydrophobic regions embedded in the lipid membrane and acts as a channel for chlorine.The highest levels of expression of the CFTR protein are found in serous cells of the submucosal glands of the proximal airway. In them, Cl- is released to the outside. In addition, there are channels for Na +, through which this ion is also secreted in the same direction. These movements cause the displacement of water and also of mucins, originating in the submucosal glands, allowing their presence on the surface of the airway. For all this to occur normally, a basolateral Na + - K + - ATPase cotransporter must function, another basolateral cotransporter formed by Na +, K + and 2 Cl-, which allows the latter to enter the cell, and an apical CFTR channel through which it exits the Cl- of the cell towards the acinar lumen. Na + leaves the cell following Cl- by a paracellular pathway accompanied by water. When CFTR malfunctions, Cl- does not exit through this channel and this implies a decrease in Na + and water in the canalicular lumen, with the consequent thickening of secretions.
