Whole brain death occurs when the ______ ceases to function.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Whole brain death occurs when the BRAINSTEM ceases to function.

Explanation:

In the US, whole brain death = legal death. Most people consider that a person is brain dead when the cerebrum, or the higher brain, is dead because the person is not able to think or have control over his/her body, but legally you are brain dead only when the brainstem ceases to function. The brainstem is responsible for keeping you alive and performing the most basic bodily functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating. But once it fails, you are legally dead. Even if your body could still survive using a ventilator and other devices, your brain has ceased to work and you wouldn't be able to survive if you were unplugged.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes

Eduardwww [97]

Answer and Explanation:

The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm.

The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes (XmXm ss) is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS).

The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.

1º Cross:

Parental) XmXm ss x XMY SS

Gametes) Xms Xms Xms Xms

XMS XMS YS YS

Punnet Square) Xms Xms Xms Xms

XMS XMXmSs XMXmSs XMXmSs XMXmSs

YS XmY Ss XmY Ss XmY Ss XmY Ss

F1) 1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

100% of the females (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are long-winged and red-eyed

100% of the males (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are miniature.winged and red-eyed.

2º Cross:

Ys XMY Ss XMY ss XmY Ss XmY ss

F2) 8/16=4/8=1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

Females (8/16):

3/8 of the females are long-winged and red-eyed, XMX- S-

1/8 of the females are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMX- ss

3/8 of the females are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmXm S-

1/8 of the females are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmXm ss

Males (8/16):

3/8 of the males are long-winged and red-eyed, XMY S-

1/8 of the males are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMY ss

3/8 of the males are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmY S-

1/8 of the males are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmY ss

Note: The symbol "-" means that in its place might be a recessive allele or a dominant allele. For example, S- means that it might be SS or Ss.

4. Analyze what would happen to this ecosystem if one of the primary consumers was removed from the ecosystem?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Due to a primary consumer being taken out there will be more producers and less secondary consumers because of the new tertiary consumer eating them and the lack of food for the secondary.
