Answer:

D

Explanation:

High altitude is a challenge for the human body due to the progressive reduction in barometric pressure leading to series of important physiologic responses that enable individuals to adapt and secure the oxygen supply to tissues. Reduction in oxygen pressure causes physiological responses in body which include increase in hematocrit. Also, the development of systemic hypertension is influenced by high altitude due to relative low oxygen which has significant consequences on the cardiovascular system and on blood pressure regulation. The lung response to acute altitude exposure also includes hyperventilation which aims at achieving adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues.

Therefore, regular oxygen uptake, greater ventilation, more basic hypoxic ventilation, larger lung volumes, greater diffusing capacities and increased blood pressure are typical of Jill as he adapts to the higher altitude after a month.

A scientist investigated DNA replication in two groups of cells, labeled A and B. She injected radioactively labeled nucleotides
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

D. The cells in group B are prokaryotic because they replicate their DNA in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

The cells of group A are prokaryotic because it is prokaryotes which do not have a double membranous structure called nucleus for storing their genetic material. The genetic material of prokaryotes is spread in the cytoplasm in the form of a circular DNA which is called as nucleoid. Since they do not have a separate organelle like nucleus for storage of their genetic material, they are bound to replicate their DNA in the cytoplasm. In contrast to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have nucleus for storage of their genetic material and in eukaryotes replication is an exclusively nuclear event.

scZoUnD [109]
The correct answer is B

<span>B. the climate is cooler than it would be without a current flowing by it
</span>
This is because the ocean conveyor belt help balance the climate of western Europe,by releasing heat as it moves pole ward, which moderates the cold temperatures in the region.

how does codominance at the molecular level help to explain why evolutionary processes haven't resulted in the elimination fo th
Yanka [14]

Answer:

here.

Explanation:

Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.

A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.

An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.

A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.

Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.
