Answer:

1. Functions:

a. Umbilical artery >> carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta

b. Umbilical vein >> transports oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus

c. <em>Ductus venosus</em> >> allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver

d. <em>Ductus arterious</em> >> allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's non-functioning lungs

e.<em> Foramen ovale</em> >> oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the pulmonary circulation

2. After the bird:

1. Umbilical artery >> medial umbilical ligament

2. Umbilical vein >> round ligament of the liver

3. <em>Ductus venosus</em>  >> <em>ligamentum venosum</em>

4. <em>Ductus arteriosus</em> >> <em>ligamentum arteriosum</em>

5. <em>Foramen ovale</em> >> <em>fossa ovalis</em>

Explanation:

The umbilical artery is a paired artery localized in the abdominal and pelvic regions, which carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta through the umbilical cord. The medial umbilical ligament is the obliterated part of the umbilical artery that arises from the internal iliac arteries. In utero, the umbilical arteries carry waste products back to the placenta, whereas the umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. The round ligament of the liver (also known as <em>ligamentum teres hepatis</em>) is a remnant of the umbilical vein that  exists in the embryonic stage, it connects the left lobe of the liver to the umbilicus. The<em> ductus venosus</em> is a slender shunt that allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver, it connects the intra-hepatic portion of the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The <em>ligamentum venosum</em> is an extrahepatic, slender, and fibrous remnant of the fetal ductus venosus that travels between the left portal vein and the inferior vena cava. The <em>ductus arteriosus</em> is a fetal artery that connects the aorta to the pulmonary artery. The <em>ligamentum arteriosum</em> is a nonfunctional vestige of the <em>ductus arteriosus, </em>it is attached to the superior surface of the pulmonary trunk. The <em>foramen ovale</em> is an oval-shaped, small, opening in the wall (<em>septum</em>) between the two upper chambers of the heart. The <em>fossa ovalis</em> is a vestige stricture of the foramen ovale of the embryonic heart, which forms a depression in the right atrium of the heart.

Four bands appear in gel electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis is an experimental method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins by molecular size.

DNA is negatively charged, so when a current is applied to the gel, the DNA migrates towards the positively charged electrode. Fragments are ordered by size because short DNA strands migrate through the gel faster than long strands. There are some basic steps for performing gel electrophoresis outlined below. 1) pour the gel, 2) prepare the sample, 3) load the gel, 4) run the gel (expose it to an electric field), 5) stain the gel. Gel electrophoresis is a technique for separating biomolecules by size. Separation of these molecules is achieved by placing them in a small pore gel and creating an electric field across the gel

scientists believe the earth likely warmed between 0.65 celsius and 1.05 celsius with an average value of 0.85 celsius between y
scoray [572]

Answer:

The lower limit is 0.65°C

The upper limit is 1.05°C

the average is 0.85°C

The difference between the average and the lower limit is:

0.85°C - 0.65°C = 0.20°C

the difference between th average and the upper limit is:

0.85°C - 1.05°C = -0.20°C

Then we can write the change in temperature as:

T = 0.85°C ± 0.20°C

Now we want to find the error bar.

The error bar would be the total distance between the lowest value and the largest value.

Then the error bar is:

1.05°C - 0.65°C = 0.40°C

notice that the error bar is twice the error, which makes a lot of sense because the error (± 0.20°C) goes up and down.

Then the error bar in this measure has a magnitude of 0.40°C.
