On the planet, PSEG, Rhinoceros Beetles are chosen for leadership positions in government based on their ability to sing Beetle

songs. Most Beetles cannot sing at all (wild-type). A single autosomal gene, FRANK, with alleles F(dominant) and f (wild-type) determines whether the individual beetles have this singing phenotype. In a cross between two singing Rhinoceros Beetles, a large F1 progeny is generated. The ratio of singing Beetles to non-singing Beetles in this progeny is 2:1, irrespective of gender. The most likely mode of inheritance for the singing phenotype is:

Answer:

homo-zygous lethal dominant

Explanation:

A homo-zygous lethal pattern is a type of inheritance where an allele is lethal in homo-zygous individuals. In normal dominance, the expected genotype ratio when F1 heterozygous individuals are crossed is 1:2:1 (i.e. 1 homo-zygous dominant: 2 heterozygous individuals and 1 homo-zygous recessive), while the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (3 individuals expressing the dominant allele: 1 individual only expressing the recessive allele). In this case, the homo-zygous lethal allele changes the expected F2 phenotypic ratio to 2:1 (i.e., 2 heterozygous singing Beetles : 1 homo-zygous recessive non-singing Beetles), where the partially dominant allele is lethal in homo-zygous individuals.

A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport? Your answer: A.Osmosis
madreJ [45]

Answer:

B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Explanation:

Substances move in and out of living cells through various transport means. Some substances move passively (without energy) while others move actively (with energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Active transport moves against concentration gradient in the sense that the movement occurs from a region which is less concentrated to one which is more concentrated, hence, energy input in form of ATP is required for such transport to occur. This is the case of the cellular transport in the diagram. Therefore, it is an ACTIVE TRANSPORT because energy input (ATP) is required.

Note, Osmosis and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport that requires no energy to occur.

Research on obesity and weight control indicates that
shepuryov [24]
The answer is letter d, it is because when a person becomes obese, he or she is likely to intake small amounts of food if he or she wants to maintain his or her weight and if the person does not want to gain weight anymore and than it is more different when gaining weight or when the person was in the point to become obese because he or she has ingested more food to gain weight.

Describe how mutations lead to genetic variations.
pickupchik [31]

Describe how mutations lead to genetic variations.

Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of any organism. These DNA sequence comprise genes which control all the traits of an organism such as height, weight, eye color or which specific protein will be formed in body at which time. Everything is controlled by tiny pieces of DNA. If there occurs any change in the DNA sequence of an organism, it can be lethal to it, for example: In case of cancerous mutations where proteins controlling cell division are badly affected. Other mutations are simply passed to the offspring leading to genetic variations in the offspring. This is how mutations leads to the changes in genetic of an organism.

Which appears to be more dangerous: the BRC1 or BRC2 mutation?

The BRC1 and BRC2 are mutations or changes in the BRCA gene of humans mostly females. BRCA gene is basically a tumor suppressor gene which in some cases undergo mutations of different types. Some of which can be unharmful while BRC1 and BRC2 are typically very dangerous mutations because they increase the chances of a woman to develop breast cancer. Woman with BRC1 and BRC2 mutations have five times more risk of developing the breast cancer than other women. Studies suggest that BRC1 mutation is more dangerous than BRC2 mutations because a greater number of patients seen have BRC1 kind of mutation. Moreover, BRCA1 is associated with triple-negative breast cancer response in which a person cannot be fully treated with some drugs like which does not respond to hormonal trastuzumab and hormonal treatments.  

Analyze a woman’s risk of dying of cancer if she carries a mutated BRC1 gene.

The risk of a woman to die with cancer due to with BRC1 mutation are quite high. This is because 18 percent of the women which develop breast cancer due to BRC1 mutation die while only 2.8 percent of the women who develop breast cancer due to BRC2 mutations die. This indicates substantially higher risk of BRC1 patients of dying as compared to BRC2 patients.

How do heredity and inheritance relate to the data presented in these charts?

Please add charts.

What data would you need to see in order to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of preventive surgeries?

There are several preventive surgeries used to prevent the chances of breast cancer in women. However, the genetic history of a person and her family’s genetic history is important to see before drawing some effective preventive surgery.

What does the age at diagnosis tell you about the mutation?

By looking at different cases of breast cancers and analyzing the data of different countries, we noticed that,  the onset of disease takes several years because it is a genetic level mutation and the onset of mutation starts in earlier years of a woman’s life however she fully becomes a victim and notices it in late years of her life. This is why it cannot be easily diagnosed in early years even it is present there.

Explain how breast-cancer genes are still present in the population, despite cancer-related surgeries and deaths.

The genes responsible for breast cancer such as BRC1 and BRC2 are inherited from parents to offspring in a dominant fashion which means only one copy of gene is enough for the onset of the disease. Also because the disease is caused due to genetic level mutations, even if the doctors remove the cancers through surgeries they are not able to remove each and every affected gene from an organism which is passed from parents to offspring and still present in population.

Hope it helps!

earths climate systems are driven by the electromagnetic radiation from the sun, as well as its reflection, absorption, storage
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Earth's radiation, that is, the energy that comes from the reflection, absorption, storage, and distribution from the Sun among the spheres play a major role in the climate systems.

The ultraviolet and visible energies from the Sun are the main drivers of the Earth's climate systems as the interaction between the particles of aerosol that are present in the atmosphere and the radiation from the Sun lead to the warming of the atmosphere.

Therefore, the answer is True.
