The last time you saw the sisters pictured above, you considered how different protein molecules in their cells could lead to di

fferent traits. Now, you know that genes provide instructions for proteins that lead to traits. How could these sisters have ended up with different genes, leading to their different proteins and traits? Explain your ideas below.​

Answer:

recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes during meiosis  

Explanation:

Recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes represent the two most important meiotic mechanisms by which sisters from the same parents can inherit different gene variants and therefore look very different from each other:  

1- Independent assortment (segregation) of chromosomes: during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed in daughter cells (which will give rise to the gametes), and therefore separate independently of each other. It is for that reason that gametes have unique combinations of chromosomes, which increases genetic variation.

2- Recombination, also known as crossing over, refers to the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. This mechanism is well-known to produce new gene variants (alleles) in the daughter cells. In consequence, recombination also increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes that will produce offspring (in this case, different sisters).

The bolus is liquefied in the ________ and it is now called chyme.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The options:

A) esophagus

B) stomach

C) small intestine

D) mouth

The CORRECT ANSWER IS B)

B) stomach

Explanation:

The digestive tract — often termed the gastrointestinal tract or alimentary canal — supplies the route via which foods passes through the body. In the course of this pathway, foods are digested into its constituents nutrients necessarily for absorption.

Digestion initially starts in the mouth, with enzymes in saliva dissolving carbohydrate (starch). In the course of chewing, the food is lubricated, a little bit of hear is used up, and less difficult to swallow and digest. The teeth and mouth aid conversion of each morsel of food to a bolus which flows right into the esophagus (“gullet”). In the course of chewing, taste buds stationed in the mouth gives pleasure to every mouthful — or to taste if not okay. Once the bolus is swallowed, it flows through the esophagus, it is kind of warmed and lubricated as it flows into the stomach.

Note:

The acidic condition of the STOMACH and the effect of gastric enzymes turns the bolus to CHYME, A LIQUEFIED MASS that is moved from the stomach to the small intestine.

Describe: Imagine a rock on a beach and a rock on the side of a mountain. How
Vesna [10]

Answer:

  • mountainside: temperature extremes have more influence
  • beach: wind and waves have more influence

Explanation:

It depends on what you mean by "factors that control weathering" and where the beach and mountain are located.

If we assume that the rock on the mountain is at a place that has seasonal snow, and the beach is in a temperate climate, then we can make these observations.

The rock on the mountainside will be "weathered" by freezing and thawing, and by plant growth (roots). These will tend to enlarge any cracks in the rock, breaking it apart. While the mountainside may be windy, that wind may not carry particles that would tend to erode the rock surface.

__

The rock on a beach will be most affected by wave and water action, tending to smooth any exposed surface. Freezing and thawing action is less common, due to the moderating influence of the water on the local weather. In some cases, plant growth may also be a factor. Wind may pick up beach sand, further tending to smooth any exposed surfaces.

__________ is best defined as a sudden variation in an inheritable characteristic, as distinguished from a variation that result
Sloan [31]

Answer: Mutation

Explanation: Mutation is a change in DNA sequence, it may occur due to error when the DNA is copied or it can arise from various environmental factors such as exposure to chemicals, UV radiation, Highly infectious microbes.

Mutation maybe spontaneous. Acquired mutations occur at some point in a person's life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body while some may target a tissue, an organ or an entire system.
