AveGali [126]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. 1.2

Explanation:

Normally, a human body cell contains 46 chromosomes - 23 inherited from the father and the same number from the mother.

Most of the human DNA, or human genes, are located in the chromosomes.

Each metaphase chromosome consists of:

two sister chromatids containing one DNA molecule each, and since they are formed by replication, these molecules are completely identical in gene content; that is why chromatids are called sister chromatids;  two centromeres, one on each chromatid.

1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.

2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.

3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. They are small because they lack a nucleus.

Explanation:

Red blood cells or erythrocytes are specialized cell that produce in bone marrow and have specific role such as carrying oxygen from lungs to deliver it to the various organs and carry out carbon dioxide.

In mammals these cells lack cell organelles such as nucleus and mitochondria, a major factor that determined its smaller size. The size of RBC are move through narrow vessels throughout a organism because of its specific size and shape that provide it space for hemoglobin and allow to be flexible and bend to move through narrow vessels.

Thus, the correct answer is : option B. They are small because they lack a nucleus.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Option B, ionic bonds; salt

Explanation:

All medicines either in the form of pills or liquid interact with our body by forming a bond with target specific receptors. For instance if a pain killer is taken then it shall form bond with receptors produced by pain and inflammation

So medicines are basically chemical which interact with biomolecules such as enzymes, nucleic acid, hormones, ions etc. by forming ionic bond, hydrogen bond, van der wall force etc. in the active site of enzyme.    

These salt molecule remain stable in normal conditions but as they come in contact with digestive system of the body (with different pH) they release the drugs

Hence, option B is correct
