3 0

The Bartholin's Glands, which are also known as the vestibular glands are a pair of pea size gland. The location of the Bartholin's gland is postrior to the vaginal orifice.

The main function of these Bartholin's gland is to secrete mucus and to lubricate the vaginal orifice. These gland is homologous to the bulbourethral glands present in the males.

<h3>Hence, the vaginal orifice is lubricated by secretions from the Bartholin's Glands.</h3>

During nitrification, _____.
Ksivusya [100]
During nitrification, ammonia is changed back into nitrate.
Nitrification is a three-step process of oxidation of ammonia. It is an aerobic process performed by small groups of autotrophic bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter). First step- ammonia to hydroxylamine, Second step-hydroxylamine to nitrite, Third step-nitrite to nitrate. Nitrification together with ammonification is part of a nitrogen cycle.

Mary marries an unaffected man, justin, whose paternal uncle has galactosemia. determine the genotypes for justin's family.
vitfil [10]
1. Galactosemia is a disease that will only be expressed when a person is<span><span><span> homozygotic recessive for that trait. It's the same as saying it </span> has</span> 2 recessive alleles.

Dominant allele-</span><span> G
recessive allele- g
</span>
Homozygotic dominant:  GG <span><span>(doesn't express the disease)
</span>Heterozygotic : Gg (doesn't express the disease)
Homozygotic recessive: gg (expresses it)</span>

2.
-Mary has this genotype: G_ . This means it can be GG or Gg
-The exercise already says that justin's mother is GG (<span>Homozygotic dominant)
</span>- If his mother is GG, one of these G's is going to be passed to Justin. So, his genotype is either GG or Gg. Since we are not sure we write as: G_.
Justin's genotype: G_

3.
-
Justin's uncle has galactosemia so his genotype is: gg

-
If the uncle was able to receive two recessive alleles it means the mother had one to pass, and so did the father. However, in the diagram, it's not pointed out that they have a disease so it only leaves one possible genotype: Gg. Justin's grandparents are both Gg.

4. The last person to analyze is Justin's father.
If we crossed the grandparents (Gg x Gg) we could obtain these genotypes: GG, Gg, gg.
Justin's father doesn't express the trait, so it's not gg. That leaves us with either GG or Gg. Since we can't know for sure, onece again we write as G_
Justin's father: G_

The zika virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947. The virus is transmitted from person to person by a bite from a mosquito.
UNO [17]

Answer:

1. It is a highly contagious disease transmitted from person to person and thereby it is expected that infected persons carried the virus to America  

2. Microcephaly is a serious birth defect where a baby’s head is much smaller than expected.

3. Occipital bone. CNS malformations: ventriculomegaly, parenchymal and periventricular calcifications and cortical migration anomalies

Explanation:

The Zika virus (Flaviviridae) causes a contagious disease and it is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are also the main vectors of the dengue virus. Microcephaly is a condition where the baby’s brain has not developed properly during pregnancy, and it has been shown that this birth defect is associated with the Zika virus. During 2015 in Brazil, the incidence of infants with microcephaly born from mothers that contracted this disease during pregnancy was higher, thereby suggesting an association between both conditions. Baby health problems associated with Zika infection include microcephaly (skull partially collapsed), joints with limited motion, etc.
