Answer:

Two major categories of mutations are germline mutations and somatic mutations.

Germline mutations occur in gametes. These mutations are especially significant because they can be transmitted to offspring and every cell in the offspring will have the mutation.

Somatic mutations occur in other cells of the body.

The net result of excretion of H+ in the urine is the ____ within the blood.

Scorpion4ik [409]

The net result of excretion of H+ in the urine is the __conversion of CO₂ to H₂CO₃__ within the blood.

Explanation:

Excretion of H+ ions from the blood via urine means decreasing the H+ content in the blood. This consequently means the blood pH rises ad becomes more basic (remember H+ ions are responsible for acidity for a solution). For the body to maintain the homeostatic pH of between 7.35 and 7.45, the carbonic anhydrase activity will increase hence dissolving more CO₂ into the blood plasma to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). Carbonic acid dissociated fast into H⁺ and HCO₃⁻. The H+ from the dissociation replenishes the H⁺ to the right concentration.

Explain how a crime lab could use paper chromatography to determine if lipstick found at a crime scene matched the lipstick of a

FromTheMoon [43]

Explanation:

The lipstick from the crime would be crushed and dissolved in an appropriate liquid solvent. The lipstick would then be placed in one of the ink spots on the starting / base line of the paper. Another spot would be created for the lipstick with which it is being compared with.

The paper chromatogram would then be placed vertically on a solvent that acts as the mobile phase. After some time, when the solvent reaches the solvent front of the paper chromatography, by capillary action, the chromatogram can be removed and left to dry.

Bands will have appeared on the chromatography paper formed from the different components of the lipstick. The bands of the lipstick from the crime scene and that with which it is being compared to are observed. If the bands are all aligned, horizontally, then this means it is a complete match. The lipstick must have been the same used at the crime scene.
