Answer:

Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in any normal human cell, the first 22 pairs provide directions for an individual's body and brain development. Scientists now estimate that about half of a person's personality traits and cognitive abilities can be traced to genetic influence and that psychological disorders arise from the interactions of many genes.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are small molecules that have the ability to carry all the genetic information needed to form a living being. These chromosomes are donated by an individual's parents and are used to form 23 pairs that determine all the internal and external characteristics of an organism. Among these 23 pairs, one pair will be responsible for determining the individual's gender, and the other 22 pairs will be responsible for the instructions that will make up the entire body and brain of the individual. Many scientists believe that chromosomes are responsible for even a part of a person's personality traits and that the genes they carry are directly related to the existence of psychological disorders.

Biological classifications have changed over the years. What is probably NOT a reason for these changes?
katrin2010 [14]

Scientists change the names of taxonomic groups to match the current nomenclature is probably NOT a reason for these changes.

Scientists change the names of taxonomic groups to match current nomenclature.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are various main reasons why taxonomists from time to time require or choose, to modify the name of an organism such as a plant. Initially, the naming of plants is treated by a set of laws ( the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature ) which sets out how to accurately name plants and how to solve cases where two or more names have been used for one species.

It seldom happens that applying the rules requires us to change a name. For example, if a species named by one botanist turns out to have been before legitimately named by an elder botanist.

Suppose that a strain of bacteria lacks a key biochemical used in purine synthesis. Complete all the statements about purine syn
olga55 [171]

Answer:

1. <u>Phosphoribosyl</u> amine

2. <u>glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR), a formyl group</u>

3. F<u>ormylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAR), an amino group</u>

4. C<u>arboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide (CAIR), an amino group.</u>

Explanation:

1. <u>Phosphoribosyl</u> amine will accumulate in bacteria that lack glycine.

2. The intermediate <u>glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR)</u> will build up in the absence of tetrahydrofolate.

N10‑Formyltetrahydrofolate donates <u>a formyl group</u> to the substrate

3. F<u>ormylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAR) </u>will accumulate in the absence of glutamine.

Glutamine donates <u>an amino group</u>

4.<u> </u>The intermediate <u>carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide (CAIR)</u> will accumulate when aspartate is lacking.

Aspartate donates <u>an amino group.</u>

Marks ejaculate volume was 6 ml. about how much fluid did his seminal vesicles produce
masha68 [24]
<span>Since the seminal vesicles produce somewhere in the 60 to 70 percent range of the overall volume of the ejaculate, this would lead to the volume of the fluid being in the 3.6-4.2 ml range. The prostate gland would be responsible for the remainder of the collected volume.</span>

Which scientist researched and described the results of genetic crosses?.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel

How traits are passed from one generation to the next-and sometimes skip generations-was first explained by Gregor Mendel. By experimenting with pea plant breeding, Mendel developed three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits, before anyone knew genes existed.
