Lucy and Jim have been married for 5 years and have decided they would like to try to have a child. However, a rare genetic diso

rder runs in both or their families, so they decide to go to a genetic counselor to determine the chances that their future child will be affected. The disease achondrogenesis 1a affects the ability of proteins necessary for bone and cartilage development to be modified and packaged properly after leaving the endoplasmic reticulum. The results are devastating. Individuals with this disorder are often stillborn or die soon after birth from respiratory failure. Fortunately, after doing a genetic screening, the genetic counselor determined that while Jim is a carrier for this autosomal recessive disorder, Lucy is not. Therefore, if they do have a child it is unlikely that their child will be affected. Which organelle has been compromised

Answer:

The Golgi complex is compromised      

Explanation:  

The Golgi complex helps in the process of synthesis and packaging of proteins and lipids, especially those proteins that are for exportation. The organelle´s function is to manage the recently synthesized proteins, to transform them, and to export them to other places.

Different proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and sent to the Golgi complex in vesicles, where it happens the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. Finally, protein is transported from the Golgi complex to its final destiny. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organ. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.

By being affected by the achondrogenesis 1a, the Golgi complex loses its functions and is incapable of finishing the protein synthesis and transport process, affecting other cells and their functions.

C. At what height would the pomegranate have the same potential energy as the melon? (1 point)
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Given a set of assumptions which are given below, the height at which the pomegranate will have the same potential energy as the melon is 39.19 meters.

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy refers to the acquired innate energy of an object due to its elevation above the surface of the earth.

This energy is the result of gravitational pull or force acting on the object.

In other to determine at what height a pomegranate and a watermelon will have the same potential energy we need to know the other factors in play.

Gravitational Potential Energy (E<em>p</em>)= <em>mgh</em>

Where m = Mass (kg)

            g  =  gravitational field strength (N/kg)

            h  = height (m)

           E<em>p </em>= gravitational potential energy ( <em>j </em>)

Let us assume that the

  • An average pomegranate weighs about 0.255146Kg
  • An average melon weighs about  10Kg
  • g is always constant at 9.8 N/kg

Note that melons weight much more than pomegranates.

   

So, let's calculate for the E<em>p </em>of the melon at the height of  1 meter

E<em>p</em> = 10 x 9.8 X 1 = 98<em>j</em>  

Using the above assumptions, we do a goal seek using Microsoft Excel. Please see the attached image.

Calculation shows that the Height (h/Meters) at which the E<em>p </em>of both veggies become equal is 39.19m

This can be verified by inserting the figure and multiplying it. It can also be calculated as follows:

That is

E<em>p = 98j</em>

<em>m = </em>0.255146kg

<em>g= 9.8kg</em>

<em>h=  ?</em>

98= 0.255146 x 9.8 x <em>h</em>

98 = 2.5004308<em>h (we divide both sides by </em>2.5004308 to make h the subject matter<em>)</em>

<em>h = 98 / </em>2.5004308

<em>h = 39.1932462198</em>

Which is approximately 39.19

Scientists now know how much carbon dioxide was present in the atmosphere as far back as 800,000 years ago. How did they obtain
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Ice core records.

Explanation:

  • The origin of man took place about 200,000 years ago and looking at the records that are stored in the ice cores before the existence of man which were found by the deep drilling of the antarctic and Greenland shows that how the temperatures have changed and as the example of the carbon in the air.
  • As in the 800,000 years go the Carbon dioxide levels were on average of 170 to 280 ppm and now they have crossed the 400 ppm mark also at that time the sea levels were high as 80 feet and now are more than 100 feet.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D haploid (n) with a smaller number of chromosomes than the parent cells

Explanation:

meiosis results in gametes which have half the number of chromosomes and are therefore diploid because they have one set only. that is because later, the two cells with half the chromosomes (egg and sperm) join together to make a diploid cell
