Which statement describes transform boundaries?

Biology
1 answer:
WARRIOR [948]2 years ago
3 0
Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At transform boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Many transform boundaries are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of diverging mid-ocean ridges. California's San Andreas fault is a transform boundary.

Which of the following is NOT one of the Nervous System Functions?. Single choice.
Neko [114]

Answer:

4. Absorb extra fluid between the cells

Explanation:

The nervous system (SN) is a complex system that acts to receive sensory information through nerves, transmit this information via the spinal cord and finally process it in the brain. The SN has three main roles: sensory input, processing and motor output. The SN can be divided into the central nervous system (composed of the brain and spinal cord), and the peripheral nervous system (composed of those nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord). Moreover, the extracellular fluid between the cells comprises four types of fluids: 1-intravascular fluid (blood), 2-interstitial fluid, 3--transcellular fluid and 4-cerebrospinal fluid. The excess of these fluids is absorbed by the capillaries of the lymphatic system.

What information about recombination frequencies enables scientists to create linkage maps?
True [87]

The answer is;

  1. The recombination frequency is proportional to the distance between the two genes
  2. The lower the recombination frequency, the farther apart two genes are on the chromosome

Genes that are close together are more likely to be passed together to offspring during recombination. Geneticist compares the ration between the proposed phenotype offspring and actual phenotype offerings in a population. The higher the recombination frequency (centimorgans," or cM), the closer the genes are linked together, physically.

inna [77]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In biology, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, mate and support evolution through gene transfer. A fitness of 0.28 signifies that only 28 percent of a given population are fit physically and able to reproduce while the remaining 72 % are unable to mate and hence cannot reproduce  and contribute towards gene flow and evolution.

Hence, option B is correct

State the meaning of the red blood cell count, percentage of reticulocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, and
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Red blood cell count is a diagnostic blood test used to determine the amount of red blood cells an individual has.

Percentage of reticulocytes refers to the amount of immature red blood cells one has.

Hemoglobin is the protein component of red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen.

Hematocrit is the proportion of red blood cells in the total volume of blood.

Mean corpuscular volume refers to the mean volume of red cells within an organism.

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration refers the intracellular hemoglobin count.

Explanation: Anemia is a condition that is characterized by a reduced total hemoglobin count or number of red blood cells. Anemia can be classified according to various factors that include pathophysiology, that is the factors surrounding the onset of the condition or by cell size, which  refers to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) or by the amount hemoglobin, which is referred to as the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). The diagnosis of anemia is dependent on red blood cell counts which encompass reticulocyte, platelets and leukocyte counts. Critical blood counts that look at MCV and MCH are a disgnostic feature for the various types of the condition. A high reticulocytes percentage is often associated with anemia.
