It was Tycho Brahe a Danish nobleman in the 16th century
Answer:
3. D. The red blood cell will shrink from losing water molecules
59. C. Glucose + Oxygen —> Carbon dioxide + Water
Explanation:
The red blood cell has a lower salt concentration than the liquid which means that it has a higher water concentration than the liquid.
By the process of osmosis, water will flow from the red blood cell to the liquid which would lead to the red blood cell shrinking in size.
Cellular respiration is used to create energy for cells. It works by burning glucose in the presence of oxygen. The result is an outburst of energy and CO2 as well as water.
Answer:
2 in 4
Explanation:
If a female cat with orange fur (XOXO) is crossed with a male cat with black fur (XoY) then:
P: XOXO x XoY
F1: XOXo XOY XOXo XOY
This means that half of the offspring will be females with tortoiseshell color (XOXo) and other half of the offspring will be males with orange fur (XOY).
Exaptation
Explanation:
In this example, the lateral extensions that developed were meant for thermoregulation.
But these became sufficiently large to support gliding through the air and later on were used for flight.
Thus the structure assumed a function for which it was not meant and its original function shifted to a completely different dimension giving rise to modern insect wings. So we can say that this is an example of Exaptation.
1. The main aim of the Human Genome Project was to determine the DNA Sequence of every human gene.
2. Variation in skin colour is an example of polygenic inheritance
This Human Karyotype is unusual because it has an extra chromosome at chromosome 21.
Klinefelters syndrome is shown in the second figure
Explanation:
1. The Human Genome Project's main goal was to sequence all the 30,000 genes and 3 million base pairs in their makeup for the early detection of diseases, gene therapy and molecular level studies.
2. Human skin colour is determined by the pigment melanin. The Dominant allele is responsible for dark colours as it produces more melanin. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene and Tyrosinase enzyme codes for the human skin colour. Polygenic inheritance are the traits which are controlled by one or more genes.
<u>figures:</u>
<u>The extra chro</u>mosome at the 21st chromosome pairs is called trisomy 21 or Down's Syndrome. It is due to the abnormal cell division/meiosis resulting in an extra X chromosome. This leads to thechanges the in physical development of the individual.
Klinefelter's Syndrome: There are 47 chromosomes and 2 or more X chromosomes in this syndrome of males. The resulting male suffering from Klinefelter would be sterile and have poorly developed testicles.
