Answer:

B

Explanation:

Independent assortment and segregation of chromosomes during meiosis resulted in recombinant chromatids forming that resulted in gametes formed being vastly different from the original sequence of the chromosomes (gene locus remains constant but gene sequence changed) resulting in resultant zygote to have different alleles which resulted in both siblings being different.

However, both siblings looks like their parents as zygote formed are a combination of 1 unit of chromosomes from each parent. Hence, offsprings will have traits from each parent.

It is estimated that animal- or insect-pollinated plants produce 1000 pollen grains for each ovule; wind-pollinated plants produ
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

The plants which use animal or insects as pollination vector produce less pollen compared to the wind-pollinated plants.

This could be due to the reason that the chances of pollination by wind are less than the pollination by the animal or vectors.

The chances of pollination in animal pollination are high as the animals to feed on the useful product of plant will go to the other plants but in wind pollination, the chances are less as it depends on the speed and direction of the wind.

Thus, wind-pollinated plants produce high number of pollens.

Which organs are responsible for destroying old red blood cells?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Spleen is also known as the graveyard of RBC, if it helps u 

1.Stem cells in bone marrow make all blood cells. RBC lives about 120 days. 
RBC are destroyed in Spleen. This process takes place as: 
- RBCs are ruptured. 
- Heme and globin portions separated. 
- Globin > amino acids. 
- Iron transferred in transferrin into the blood > into bone marrow for reuse. 
- Heme > Biliverdin > Bilirubin > liver >small intestine. 



2.Reticuloendothelial cells participate in the destruction of senescent RBC's. The spleen is a well suited site of RBC destruction given that cells must course through 2-3 micron apertures in the walls of splenic sinusoids, which is an ultimate test of cell pliability. Rigid cells are entrapped and phagocytosed. Intra-erythrocyte inclusions are removed during splenic circulation. 
Destruction of RBCs happens within reticuloendothelial cells – NOT in the circulation. Globin and heme get recycled, porphyrin is degraded to bilirubin which is conjugated by the liver and excreted in the gut. Rate limiting step is conjugation. Indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin is result if this doesn’t happen. 
Normally ~10% RBCs lyse while in circulation Þ Hgb gets released into circulation and rapidly disassociates into alpha and beta dimers which are bound by haptoglobin. The Hgb/haptoglobin complex is transported to the liver. If haptoglobin is depleted, free Hgb circulates and is filtered by the kidney. Free Hgb is either reabsorbed by renal tubular cells or excreted as free Hgb in the urine. 


3. Another site reported that 
RBC destroyed in liver and spleen, by macrophages. 2 million destroyed per second. 
Hb is released and iron is recovered and returned to bone marrow.</span>

A patient is receiving gentamicin once daily. A nursing student asks the nurse how the drug can be effective if given only once
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a."Gentamicin has a longer half-life than other aminoglycosides."

Explanation:

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that binds to bacterial ribosomal proteins and causes the inhibition of the protein synthesis, killing the bacteria. The killing can continue for long periods after administrating the drug and even once that the concentrations of this one can no longer be detected in the plasma. That is the reason why this drug is given once a day.

Why do living things share fundamental characteristics
Ghella [55]

Answer:

All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

Life processes are important to carry out daily life activities. They help to produce energy and maintain homeostasis in the body. The life processes help a body survive with the changes in the environment.
