id gametes. Which statements correctly describe the importance of meiosis to the life cycle or these organisms?
A) Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same.
B) Taking a diploid cell to its haploid state occurs during the first cell division of meiosis.
C) Checkpoints during meiosis ensures that chromosome separation occurs accurately, avoiding non-disjunction.
D) DNA synthesis occurs before each cell division in meiosis ensures that the integrity of the chromosomes is maintained.

Answer:

E) Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization.

A) Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that strictly occurs in sexually-reproducing organisms. It is the process whereby four daughter cells that are genetically different from their parents are produced. In meiosis, the chromosome number of each daughter cell (gamete) is reduced by half. As highlighted in this question, the meiotic process is essential in the sexual reproduction and life cycle of many organisms.

This importance is attributed to the fact that:

- Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization. That is, a diploid organism (2n) produces a haploid gamete (n), which becomes diploid again when fertilized by another gamete.

- Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same. This occurs because of a process called CROSSING OVER, which enables that the alleles of each gamete is recombined to be different from one another in order to promote genetic diversity.

yaroslaw [1]

1.  Dysentery caused by <em>Shigella dysenteriae</em><em> </em>is isolated using MacConkey Lactose agar and Xylose Lysine agar

2. Antibiotic associated diarrhea caused by <em>Clostridium difficile</em> (detection of toxin) is isolated using <em>Clostridium difficile</em> selective medium

3. Dermatophyte infection in the nails is isolated using potatoes dextrose agar

4.  Dengue fever by immune response is isolated using minimal essential medium (MEM)

1.  Dysentery caused by <em>Shigella dysenteriae</em>

  • Collection of fecal specimens  and  poultry  (100)  fecal  samples  collected  from were processed according to published protocols.    
  • Streak one loopful of fecal sample on  MacConkey  Lactose  Agar  (MLA)  and  Xylose  Lysine agar
  • Incubated at 37 C for 24 hours  
  • The MLA plates showing the presence of convex and colorless  colonies are considered for  further identification.
  • Similarly, the XLD plates showing appearance of presence of translucent or red colored colonies are taken for further identification.

2. Antibiotic associated diarrhea caused by <em>Clostridium difficile </em>(detection of toxin)

  • Mix equal parts of industrial absolute  alcohol and the fecal specimen.
  • Homogenize using a vortex mixer.
  • Leave at room temperature for 1 hr.
  • Inoculate on <em> </em><em>Clostridium difficile  </em>Selective Agar
  • Incubate at  37ºC  in a conventional anaerobic gas jar
  • Observe after 24-48 hours in anaerobic environment .  
  • Use gram stain reagent and Malachite green for morphological study.
  • Observe positive bacillus cell shape with single or chains(2-6)cell and sub terminal endo spore forming after gram staining

3. Dermatophyte infection in the nails

  • Prepare potatoes dextrose agar (PDA)
  • Collect clippings from the nail with a sterile scalpel after carefully washing the site with 70% alcohol.
  • Dissolved in two drops of 10% KOH on a glass slide, if the sample is thick, use 20% KOH
  • Heat the slide few seconds over a spirit lamp, do not allow to boil.
  • Observe preparation under a low power of the microscope in reduced light.
  • Look out for presence of mycelia fragments and the distribution of spores inside.

4.   Dengue fever by immune response

  • Dilute blood samples in minimal essential medium (MEM) containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS)
  • Add diluent to a cultured monolayer of C6/36 cells for 1 hour with gentle rocking in a 28 °C CO2 incubator.
  • After 1 hour, remove the inoculum and cells
  • Culture for 7 days in MEM with 2% FBS and antibiotics.
  • Collect culture supernatant on day 7 and infect a new batch of C6/36 cells
  • Repeat the procedure three times to achieve passage 3 (P3) isolates.

Plot blood pressure against time for one cardiac cycle in humans, drawing separate lines for the pressure in the aorta, the left
galben [10]

The expansion of the aorta causes a rise in blood volume and blood pressure.

<h3>What is the cardiac cycle?</h3>

Heartbeat pattern The cardiac cycle includes all of the physiological processes connected to a single pulse, including the electrical, muscular (pressures and volumes), sensory, and other activities. During each cardiac cycle, both ventricles and atria beat alternately.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

The human heart's cardiac cycle includes two phases: ventricular relaxation and atrial contraction. The right ventricle has low pressure when the right ventricular systolic pressure is frequently less than 30 mm Hg. The left ventricle has a thicker wall and more muscle mass than the right ventricle as a result of the blood flowing at a high pressure. The expansion of the aorta causes a rise in blood volume and blood pressure.

5. Circle the three anti-codons at the
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

5. Circled in red on attachment

6. Green arrows on attachment

7. Orange box in the attachment

8. Circled red on attachment

9. Blue boxes on attachment

10. Black line on attachment

11. It has already disassociated

12. Purple rectangle in attachment

13. GAC

14. Leucine

Explanation:

I think most of this worksheet is to be completed on your own model of transcription that you have made, however, I will label the diagram

5. tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome. They are recognisable by their "cloverleaf" shape. In the picture, you can see that they are attached to amino acids (and you can even see some in the ribosome). The codons are on the opposite side of the tRNA to the amino acid, and are 3 bases complementary to the codon on the mRNA, represented here as 3 rectangles.

6. As described above, you can see some tRNAs in the ribosome. These tRNAs have paired up with complementary codons on the mRNA strand via their anti-codons. This is indicated by the green arrow. This is how the mRNA dictates the sequence of the polypeptide chain and makes protein

7. I think this question is just checking you know where the amino acid goes. The amino acid is attached to the opposite site of the anti-codon indicated in the image.

8. The anticodon in the tRNA has been indicated in question 5. Anticodons refer to three bases that are complementary to a specific codon on mRNA, and specify a particular amino acid

9. Each codon refers to each triplet of nucleotides in the mRNA. I have indicated this as blue boxes on the mRNA transcript. You can tell where they are based on where the tRNA is binding, always in 3s

10. See the black line, this is a called a peptide bond, and is the bond that joins together the amino acids in a growing polypeptide chain. I have drawn it between the first two amino acids in the second image. The amino acids represent a string of molecules linked using this peptide bond, which is a covalent bond formed by a condensation reaction

11. The first tRNA is not shown in the second diagram because the peptide bond has already formed between Valine and Histidine, so the tRNA that brought Valine to the machinery has disassociated from Valine and the ribosome. It is then free to bind another Valine and join in other translation processes

12. The third codon is CUG. We can see the first codon is GUG, then CAU, and the next is CUG. This is labelled with a purple rectangle in the attachment

13. Base pairing rules state that C pairs with G, and that A pairs with U (or T on DNA). The codon is CUG, therefore the anti-codon must be GAC

14. Each codon corresponds to a particular amino acid sequence. The codon CUG corresponds to the amino acid Leucine. You can find this using a codon table, like the one attached here
