Answer:

d. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a diploid set.

f. The chromosomes of one color make up a haploid set.

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism:

Diploid cells (2n)

Somatic diploid cells (2n) reproduce by the process of mitosis and produce two diploid cells. These cells have a set of chromosomes inherited from the maternal side and another homologous set of chromosomes inherited from the paternal side. This is why the number of chromosomes in these double sets of the somatic cells is diploid, 2n.
Germ diploid reproductive cells (2n) also reproduce by mitosis and produce two diploid cells. But can also reproduce by the process of meiosis, suffering a reduction in the number of chromosomes and producing four haploid cells (n).

Haploid cells (n)

Gametes are the product of germ cell division by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes that are in the somatic cells. They have only one set of chromosomes, n (haploid). Their destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called the zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete diploid cell that suffers successive mitosis and forms a new organism.

- So, through meiosis, the diploid germ cell (2n) produces four haploid cells (n) that are the gametes.

- Through fecundation or fertilization, two gametes (n) merge and produce a diploid cell (2n) that is the zygote.

In the example, red chromosomes belong to one gamete, and blue chromosomes belong to the other gamete, So

a. Red chromosomes make up a diploid set. False, they make up a haploid cell because they only are a single set of chromosomes.

b. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a haploid set. False. They come from two different gametes, which are haploid, so together they make up a diploid cell.

c. Blue chromosomes make up a diploid set. False, they make up a haploid cell because they only are a single set of chromosomes.

d. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a diploid set. TRUE. When both gametes merge (blue chromosomes + red chromosomes) they form a diploid cell.

e. The chromosomes of one color make up a diploid set. False. Nor red or blue chromosomes by themselves can make up a diploid cell, because they are a single set of chromosomes.

f. The chromosomes of one color make up a haploid set. TRUE. One gamete, with one single set of chromosomes, either red or blue, are haploid cells.

After the aswan high dam was built on the nile river, the rate of parasitic worm infection doubled in the human population near

valentinak56 [21]

After the aswan high dam was built on the nile river, the rate of parasitic worm infection doubled in the human population near the dam. as a result of building the dam, the flow of the nile changed. this changed the habitat, which resulted in an increase in its population of a certain aquatic snail. the snails, which were infected, released larvae of the worm. these larvae then infected humans. this situation best illustrates that:

A. the influence of humans on a natural system is always negative in the long term

B. the influence of humans on a natural system can have unpredictable negative impacts

C. human alteration of an ecosystem does not need to be studied to avoid ecological disaster

D. human alteration of an ecosystem will cause pollution and loss of finite resources.

The correct answer is option (B) the influence of humans on a natural system can have unpredictable negative impacts.

The biosphere refers to the biologically inhabited part of the earth in association with the atmosphere, hydrosphere and the lithosphere. Human beings have been influenciung this natural system of biosphere causing numerous negative impacts. This finally affects all the living organisms of the biosphere.

Human activities like industrialization, construction of dams, chemicals based agriculture and others have been affecting the habitats. Construction of the dams changes the habitat. This change in the habitat can endanger or increase certain species. The change in the habitat can affect the abiotic factors as well as the biotic factors. In case of the river Nile, it increased the snails which were infected by the larvae of parasitic worms. Thus, doubling the infection of parasitic worms in the humans.

When the natural system of rivers have been influenced by the humans, it always has the negative effects on the life.

Phosphorylation cascades involving a series of protein kinases are useful for cellular signal transduction because:

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. they amplify the original signal manyfold.

Explanation:

A phosphorylation cascade is a chain or sequence of the reactions that are categorized by the events where one enzyme phosphorylation another up-to phosphorylation of thousands of proteins.

The phosphorylation cascade can be experienced in involving the protein kinases as they the signal transduction of different cellular hormone messages due to their ability to amplify the original signal multiple time and make it more effective.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
