The Waldorf family was caught in a fire but escaped. Unfortunately, the father and daughter suffered burns. The father had secon

d-degree burns on his entire chest, abdomen, and both arms, and third-degree burns on his entire left lower extremity. The daughter suffered first-degree burns on her whole head and neck and second-degree burns throughout both lower extremities.
a. What percentage of the father's body was covered by burns?
b. What percentage of the daughter's body received first-degree burns?
c. What part of the daughter's body has both the dermis and epidermis involved?
d. The father experiences a good deal of pain in the area of the chest and abdomen, but little pain in the leg. Why?

Answer and Explanation:

The father had 54% of the body covered by burns, since a little more than half of his body was burned. In addition, to calculate the percentage of body burn, the following values are considered: head, arms and legs - 9% torso front - 18% torso back - 18%. In addition, the father feels little pain in his legs (which had worse burns) because the third degree burn destroys the nerve endings, while the second degree burn only damages these endings promoting intense pain.

The daughter had 9% of her body burned by first degree burns, which corresponds to her lower limbs. These burns involve the skin and the epidermis, for this reason, we can say that the legs are the part of the daughter's body that has compromised hair and epidermis.

Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents
vredina [299]

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.

If a nucleotide lacking a hydroxyl group at the 3' end were added to a pcr reaction, what would be the outcome?
Verdich [7]
The correct answer is b. no additional nucleotides would be added to a growing strand containing that nucleotide.
<span>
Nucleotides without a 3’hydroxy group are called dideoxynucleotides (ddNTD). Dideoxynucleotides are inhibitors of DNA polymerase because after being added in PCR reaction no further nucleotides can be added as no phosphodiester bond can be created (usually 3' hydroxyl group of the previous nucleotide attaches to 5' phosphate of the current nucleotide).</span>

Which membrane gives eukaryotes an advantage over prokaryotes in protecting their genetic material from damaging chemical change
Anarel [89]
That would be the nuclear membrane. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that encases their DNA, so it stays safer than it would in a prokaryotic cell.
