Answer:

B

Explanation:

Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA that, in turn, carry the genes of a living being, responsible for defining the physical characteristics of each individual. Chromosomes are involved in the nucleus of cells that make up a living being.

Based on the pedigree that is shown above, how to describe Fred?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The given pedigree analysis shows sex-linked trait where the female work as a carrier and have X linked recessive gene that is X^{h} and the male is normal.

So, Fred will be a male with X^{h}Y gene and Fred will be affected with X linked disease which is carried by female.

If,  X^{h} gene in the female (Ann)  act as a carrier of hemophilia and the male (John) is normal, then Fred will be a male affected with hemophilia (sex linked disease).

Hence, Fred will be affected male with  X^{h}Y genotype.

Discuss the process of the chloride shift in both the respiratory and the digestive systems.
zhannawk [14.2K]

  Carbon dioxide is generated in tissues as a byproduct of normal metabolism. It dissolves in blood plasma to form carbonic acid (H2CO3); red blood cell (RBC) carbonic anhydrase catalyzes this reaction. Carbonic acid then spontaneously dissociates to form bicarbonate (HCO3−) and a hydrogen ion (H+). In response to the decrease in intracellular <span>pCO2</span>, more CO2 passively diffuses into the cell.

Cell membranes are generally impermeable to charged ions (i.e. H+, HCO3− ) but RBCs are able to exchange bicarbonate for chloride using the anion exchanger protein Band 3. Thus, the rise in intracellular bicarbonate leads to bicarbonate export and chloride intake. The term "chloride shift" refers to this exchange. Consequently, chloride concentration is lower in systemic venous blood than in systemic arterial blood: high venous pCO2 leads to bicarbonate production in RBCs, which then leaves the RBC in exchange for chloride coming in.<span>[2]</span>

What would happen to a cell if, during the splitting of chromosomes, two did not separate- and one cell got a double set and the
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes and their correct segregation (a chromosome for each daughter cell) are key to the proper development of the new cells, and specially of the new individual if we are talking about the early stages of embryogenesis. If there is an error during the splitting of chromosomes, and one cell gets a double set and the other misses a chromosome, numerical chromosomal abnormalities occur. These numerical abnormalities can happen on autosomes or sexual chromosomes, and common examples are as Down Syndrome (trisomy 21), Patau Syndrome (trisomy 13), Turner Syndrome (45,X) and others. The number of the trisomy indicates the chromosome pair that suffered the adding or the subtraction of its chromosome.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It's the same thing that Pavlov did with the dogs, but instead of a can opener, he used a bell. The dogs drooled at the sound of the bell because they knew that the food was coming.
