Answer: the amount of silica minerals in granite

Explanation:

Usually, 70-77 percent silica, 11-13 percent alumina, 3-5 percent potassium oxide, 3-5 percent soda, 1 percent lime, 2-3 percent total iron, and less than 1 percent magnesia and titania are the chemical composition of granite. Rhyolite is another kind of volcanic rock with a similar or equivalent chemical composition and mineralogy. Due to high precense of silica the color of granite appears lighter.

If you lined up human skin cells side-by-side, how many would fit along the length of the paperclip in the sample problem above?
dimaraw [331]

Hi,

You did not provide the length of paper clip but i searched this exercise to find the length of the paper clip as So, a small paperclip measures 3.0 cm so i will answer your question according to this length.

The size of a human cell is around  30um and the question is asking that how many would fit along the length of the paper clip measuring 3cm.

                              3 cm = 30000 microns

                                          = 30000/30

                                           = 1000 cells.

So, if we line up 1000 human skins cells side-by-side, they would fit along the length of the paperclip.

Note: <em>If the length of paper clip is different in your excercise like 1 cm etc, simply multiply the 1 with 10000 and divide the resultant value with 30, this way you can get cell number for the length of any clip.</em>

Hope it helps!

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c
allochka39001 [22]

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.  

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.  

Failure of separation or segregation of:

  • Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
  • Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.

Vitamin B6 is essential for the synthesis of Select one: A. memory cells. B. iron. C. heme. D. T cells.
strojnjashka [21]

Vitamin B6 is essential for the synthesis of T cells. These cells form part of the immune system.

<h3>What is Vitamin B6?</h3>

Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is a water-soluble micronutrient found in different types of foods.

Vitamin B6 is required to generate T cells and white blood cells (lymphocytes), which are cells of the immune system.

Vitamin B6 is also fundamental for the generation of interleukin-2, which is a molecule involved in immune responses.

Explain what causes menkes syndrome include in your answer the symptoms and life expectancy of the affected person
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Menkes disease is caused by a defect in the ATP7A gene. The defect makes it hard for the body to properly distribute (transport) copper throughout the body. As a result, the brain and other parts of the body do not get enough copper, while it builds up in the small intestine and kidneys. Menkes syndrome causes impaired copper absorption. This results in changes in the arteries and deterioration of the brain. Menkes syndrome is rare. Most children born with Menkes syndrome have a life expectancy of < 4 years.
