Biology
1 answer:
lana [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3)The epiglottis is a small, movable "lid" just above the larynx that prevents food and drink from entering your windpipe. But if the epiglottis becomes swollen — either from infection or from injury — the airway narrows and may become completely blocked.

4)Your stomach lining also secretes hydrochloric acid, which creates the ideal conditions for the protein-digesting enzymes to work. The potent hydrochloric acid kills bacteria, protecting your body from harmful microbes which can enter your body in food.

5)Made up of three segments -- the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum -- the small intestine is a 22-foot long muscular tube that breaks down food using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver.

A friend of yours claims to have identified a gene that causes a human disease! Your friend says that they have sequenced the DN
sattari [20]

Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal

Explanation:

Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called

1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)

2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).

However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate

You cross two true-breeding parents (one with yellow seeds and one with green seeds), grow and self-pollinate the F1 generation,
Andru [333]

Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for yellow seed color is "Y" and the allele for green seed color is "y". Genotype of pure breeding yellow seeded plant would be "YY" and that of the green seeded plant would be "yy". A cross between YY and yy gives all heterozygous yellow seeded plants (Yy) in F1 progeny. Self pollination of two F1 plants (Yy x Yy) obtains F2 generation in 3 yellow: 1 green ratio.

The total population size of F2 generation = 2000

The proportion of yellow seeded plants in F2 generation = 3/4 (since the F2 phenotype ratio is given 3 yellow: 1 green)

Therefore, total number of yellow seeded plants in F2 progeny = 3/4 x 2000= 1500

Setler [38]
Experimentation (or the experiments the scientist was doing for 10 years) could be wrong or done in an inappropriate way. The only way to know if the information is valid is by checking the way the experimentation (data) was done as well as making sure to check all other factors
