You are interested in studying a gene called CFTR because mutations in this gene in humans cause cystic fibrosis. You have made

a line of mice that lack the mouse CFTR gene. These mice are unable to clear bacteria from their lungs, so they get lung disease. You put a normal human CFTR gene into some of these mice and discover that the mice with the human gene are able to clear bacteria from their lungs and no longer get lung disease. From this experiment, you can conclude that:
A. The DNA sequences of the mouse CFTR gene and human CFTR gene are identical (0.7%).
B. The amino acid sequences of the mouse CFTR protein and the human CFTR protein are identical (1.1%).
C. The mouse CFTR gene and human CFTR gene encode proteins that can serve a similar function (70.9%).
D. Both answers b and c are true (20.8%).
E. All of the above are true (6.5%).

Which best describes food when it reaches the large intestine?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Your large intestine is the final part of your digestive tract. Undigested food enters your large intestine from your small intestine. It then reabsorbs water that is used in digestion and eliminates undigested food and fibre. This causes food waste products to harden and form faeces, which are then excreted.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

contrast the chromosome number in gametes and zygotes in sexual reproduction into your answer in the space provided
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Chromosome number in gametes- haploid (n)

Chromosome number in zygote- diploid (2n)

Explanation:

Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of gametes to reproduce. The gametes are produced via the process of meiosis, which is a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have their chromosomal number reduced by half. A diploid (2n) organism i.e. possess two set of chromosomes undergoes meiosis to produce haploid (n) gametes i.e. contains one set of chromosomes. The male parent produces haploid sperm while the female parent produces haploid egg.

During reproduction, these haploid gametes (sperm and egg) combine in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE. The diploid zygote then divides and grows into the full organism. Hence, since a zygote is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes (sperm and egg), it contains a diploid chromosome number i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n)

Sophie [7]
The gray rabbits would stand out and their population would decrease. For these problems, think about colors; simply, what color is not being "hidden" (by the rocks for example) compared to the rest of the populations.

Explain why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
To become an ion, it just needs to gain extra electrons or lose the one electron that it has.  To become part of a molecule, it just needs to bond with another atom and share electrons with it.
