Bicarbonate buffer system. Human blood contains large amounts of carbonic acid, which is a weak acid, and bicarbonates, a strong base. If blood pH falls below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, one can become sick or die. This bicarbonate buffer system help maintain blood pH at 7.4. The bicarbonate neutralizes excess acids in the blood while the carbonic acid neutralizes excess bases.
Answer:
1. B.
2. B.
3. A.
Explanation:
1. So, the mother does not but the father does carry the gene for polydactyly. Which means that, the offspring was born Pp and, the dominant trait (P) was exposed.
2. A heterozygous trait is one that has both allele forms (in this case, d and D. If both of the parents are Dd, the offspring will also be Dd, and therefore, he has 1/2 chance of being born deaf.
3. Both you and your spouse will be heterozygous (Ee), therefore, since unattached earlobes are dominant
3.1 When two heterozygous traits are bred, you will get the following combinations: yy, Yy, Yy and YY. Which means that your offspring had a 1/4 chance of having attached earlobes, and that is what happened.
3.2 The third option is incorrect, because when you breed 2 homozygous recessive (ee) traits, all of your offspring will be homozygous recessive (ee), which means that the parents would have to be homozygous recessive, but, they cannot since the dominant trait has applied to them.
Answer:
Billions
Explanation:
"Then each of these strands can be used to create two new copies, and so on, and so on. The cycle of denaturing and synthesizing new DNA is repeated as many as 30 or 40 times, leading to more than one billion exact copies of the original DNA segment."
