Answer:

Chromosomes are the structures found in the nucleus of a cell. They are made from DNA, containing hereditary information in the form of genes that control how an organism will look and behave.  

Chromosomes come in homologous pairs (one from each parent) that each contain thousands of genes, determining traits expressed in the offspring.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are the structures found in the nucleus of a cell. They are made from DNA, containing hereditary information in the form of genes that control how an organism will look and behave.  - this is true. Prior to cell division, DNA molecules are organized into large structures called chromosomes. Specific regions of a DNA molecule are called genes. These dictate specific proteins which control our traits.

Genes contain thousands of chromosomes that carry specific information about building proteins for a particular trait.  - this is false - genes are segments of DNA that control specific traits by dictating the structure and functions of proteins. Chromosomes contain thousands of genes

Chromosomes are small sections of DNA that contain specific information about a trait to build proteins that people inherit. The thousands of different chromosomes passed from the parents allow for humans to look uniquely different. - this is false - chromosomes are large structures, genes are the relatively small sections of DNA. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, not thousands.

Chromosomes come in homologous pairs (one from each parent) that each contain thousands of genes, determining traits expressed in the offspring.  - this is true. In diploid organisms, like humans, have two copies of each chromosome. These chromosomes contain slightly different versions of genes, which make us unique.

Ou have a 44-year old male client with a resting heart rate of 68 bpm. if using the heart rate reserve method (karvonen formula)
mariarad [96]

The intensity range would be 60-80%.

A high resting heart rate is indicative of an inefficient heart or possible arrhythmia. Physical activity assessments should begin after the client has been screened and resting measurements have been assessed.  Moderate intensity exercise uses energy 3 - 6 times that of resting metabolism, which equates to 3 -6 METs.

En un cruce entre peces naranjas y peces grises se obtiene una generación (f1) de 50% peces grises . Realice el cruce y explique
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Uno de los progenitores es heterocigoto para color naranja (Nn) y el otro parental es homocigoto recesivo para gris (nn). Al haber una cruza entre un homocigoto recesivo y un heterocigoto, la 50% de la progenie expresa color naranja (Nn), mientras que el otro 50% expresa color gris (nn).

Explanation:

<u>Datos disponibles:</u>

  • Cruce entre peces naranjas y peces grises
  • 50% de la F1 son peces grises
  • Naranja dominante sobre gris

Podemos nombrar el alelo dominante para color naranja <em>N</em>, y al alelo recesivo  para color gris <em>n</em>.

Para que en un cruce entre dos fenotipos distintos, el 50% de la primer camada exprese uno de estos fenotipos, entonces uno de los parentales debe ser heterocigoto, mientras que el otro parental debe ser homocigoto recesivo. De esta forma 50% de la primera generación expresara uno de los fenotipos, mientras que el otro 50% expresará el otro fenotipo.

Supongamos que uno de los parentales lleva el genotipo <em>Nn</em>, y el otro parental es <em>nn</em>.

Cruce:

Parental)      Nn    x     nn

Gametas)   N    n       n    n

Fenotipos) Naranja     Gris

Cuadro de Punnett)      N           n

                            n       Nn         nn

                            n       Nn         nn

F1)  2/4 = 1/2 = 50% de la progenie tendrá genotipo heterocigoto, Nn

     2/4 = 1/2 = 50% de la progenie tendrá genotipo homocigota recesivo,    

     nn

     50% de la progenie será color naranja (Nn)

     50% de la progenie será color gris (nn)
