For each cross, describe whether genetics or temperature determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 35 degree
goldenfox [79]

<u>Answer and Explanation</u>:

In reptiles, there are two mechanisms of sex determination:

-Genetic mechanisms, determined at the fertilization moment

-Environmental mechanisms, which are temperature-dependent.

Temperature is an environmental factor that affects different processes in organisms at a molecular level, biochemical level, or physiological level. In reptiles such as lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, among other, temperature influences their embryonary development, their growth, daily activities, reproduction rate, sex determination, and etc.

In lizards, it occurs that whenever eggs are incubated at low temperatures, between 22 º and 27ºC, they produce a higher percentage of males, while eggs exposed to higher temperatures, 30ºC and above, produce more females. There are only a few degrees of temperature at which exposed eggs produce males and females equally.

The importance of knowing the mechanism of organisms´ sex determination lies in how climate change may be affecting wild populations due to fluctuations in temperature.

In the exposed example, the first cross between ZZ males and ZW females, genetics is the mechanism that determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 24 and 35 degrees celsius. While in the second cross between ZZmales and ZZ females, temperature determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 24 and 35 degrees celsius. This is, eggs exposed to temperatures below 28ºC will produce only males, so there won't be any female in the progeny. But eggs incubated at 30ºC and over will produce females, as shown in the table.

Answer:

The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow.

Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle. Plants depend on the Calvin cycle for energy and food. Other organisms, including herbivores, also depend on it indirectly because they depend on plants for food. Even organisms that eat other organisms, such as carnivores, depend on the Calvin cycle. Without it, they wouldn't have the food, energy, and nutrients they need to survive.

The Calvin cycle has four main steps: carbon fixation, reduction phase, carbohydrate formation, and regeneration phase. Energy to fuel chemical reactions in this sugar-generating process is provided by ATP and NADPH, chemical compounds which contain the energy plants have captured from sunlight.

Which would not be found in pancreatic juice secreted into the duodenum?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The answer is insulin.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an enzyme containing secretion produced by the pancreas into the small intestine. Enzymes in the pancreas help in digesting proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The constituent enzymes are as follows:

  1. Trypsinogen and Chymotrypsinogen: Precursors of the proteases, trypsin and chymotrypsin that digest proteins. They are released as precursors to protect the intestinal lining. Enterokinase, an enzyme secreted by small intestine's epithelial cells, activates these precursor.
  2. Lipase: Enzyme that digests lipids by hydrolysing triglycerides into 2-monoglyceride and two free fatty acids.
  3. Amylase that helps in digesting any left over carbohydrates and complex starch.

Insulin:

Insulin can never be part of pancreatic juice because it is a hormone, not an enzyme. Hormones are chemical messengers secreted only in blood. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas to lower blood glucose levels by binding to insulin receptors on cells and stimulating the intake of glucose through glucose transport channels (GLUTs) in the cell membrane.
