True or False: Purine is connected to pyrimidine using oxygen bonds.​

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In DNA double helix molecule, there are four types of nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Purines (i.e., adenine, guanine) and pyrimidines (i.e., cytosine and thymine) hold DNA strands together via hydrogen bonds. In base pairing, guanine always pairs with cytosine through 3 hydrogen bonds, while adenine always pairs with thymine by 2 hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are a type of dipole–dipole interaction where a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom (e.g., Nitrogen or Oxygen).

During mammalian embryogenesis, the first differentiation event that occurs leads to a polarization of the outer cells of the 16-cell morula. This outer layer of cells forms the trophectoderm and the inner, apolar clump of cells become the inner cell mass. The inner cell mass will give rise to:

Answers

Answer:

the entire embryo

Explanation:

The trophectoderm refers to the polarized single cell layer that forms the wall of the blastocyst, thereby forming the first epithelium during embryogenesis. Moreover, the blastocyst is composed of 1-an inner cell mass (ICM) which will form all the tissues of the embryo's body, and 2-an outer layer composed of cells collectively called the trophoblast. The ICM of the blastocyst will form the embryoblast (which subsequently will give rise to the embryo itself) and the fetus, while the trophoblast will form all of the supporting tissues (i.e., amniotic sac, placenta, and umbilical cord). In humans, the blastocyst is the developmental stage of the embryo on day 5 after fertilization.

Which of the following is true about the coasts of North and South America? O A. Little industry is located along the coasts, B. There are few cities and the population is sparse. O c. A majority of the population is located there. D. People go to the coasts only when on vacation,​

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C. In North and South America, a majority of the population is located on the coasts.

Explanation:

Historically, the vast majority of civilizations have sought to establish their urban centers around bodies of water, be they rivers or seas, that allow them a rapid expansion outward as well as channels through which to channel trade. Thus, it can be seen how throughout the world and especially the American continent, large cities and population centers are located primarily on the coasts. Examples of this situation are Vancouver in Canada, New York and Los Angeles in the United States, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires in Argentina.

The elimination of rinderpest impacted the wildebeest population. What type of factor is rinderpest

Answers

Answer:

density-dependent, top-down factor

Explanation:

In biology, limiting factors are resources and other conditions in the environment whose presence/availability limit the population growth rate. Density-dependent factors refer to the conditions whose effects on the size/growth of the population vary depending on the population density. Some examples of density-dependent factors include diseases, competition, and predation, etc. These factors can exhibit a positive or negative correlation with the population size. Moreover, bottom-up population control (species limitation by resources) refers to limitations placed by resources allowing growth (e.g.,  food source or habitat), while top-down population control (limitation by enemies), refers to limitations placed by factors that control the death rate in the population (e.g., predation or diseases).

What does the “they” stand for?

You are a researcher interested in a rare, highly endangered bird species that lives in a very remote area of the Amazonian rainforest. Almost nothing is currently known about this species’ diet, behavior, life-span, breeding system, or its interactions with other species. Use your knowledge of the definition of ecology, the scales at which ecological research is conducted, and experimental design.
1. Which ecological level (or levels) would you focus on in your research? Justify why you would choose this level (or levels), and explain why you would not choose the others.
2. Would you use an observational, experimental, or modeling approach to study this rare bird species? Why would the approach you chose be a better choice than the others for your study?

Answers

Answer:

- Ecological levels to consider in this study: organism, population and community

- Approach: I would use an observational approach to study this bird species

Explanation:

The levels of the ecological organization include the organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere (from simplest to most complex). In this exploratory study, it is imperative to consider: 1-morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations of the bird species (i.e., organismal-level), 2- size/density/structure of the bird population (i.e., population-level), and 3-interactions between bird population and other populations (i.e., community-level). The higher ecological levels, i.e., ecosystem-level (relationships between the community and abiotic factors ) and biosphere-level (biosphere =  planet Earth), can be in this case disregarded because this study is centered on a focus bird species. Moreover, it is expected to apply an observational strategy because nothing is currently known about the focus bird species. The experimental and modeling approaches seem more suitable to test a particular hypothesis being discussed (it is not the case for this study).

What is Climate Change?


Explain your answer.

Answers

What is Climate Change?

Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place.

How it helps us:

Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures. ... We can also see which regions are most likely to be affected by extreme weather, or which wildlife species are threatened by climate change.

How it works:

As the earth's atmosphere heats up, it collects, retains, and drops more water, changing weather patterns and making wet areas wetter and dry areas drier. Higher temperatures worsen and increase the frequency of many types of disasters, including storms, floods, heat waves, and droughts.

How it affects us:

Human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.

Hand = 75%

No hand = 25%

Explanation:

It's the same thing as last time. Since 3 of them are heterozygous and have 1 dominant allele, they have the dominant trait. And since one of them only has recessive alleles then it should have the recessive traits.

So the hand should have 75% and no hand has 25%.

the fertilization of ovules from plant Q by pollen from plant R results in the productions of seeds. What percent of the genes in each offspring's chloroplasts wioll have been inherited from plant R

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - zero or 0%.

Explanation:

The fertilization in flowering plants takes place by fusing the pollen of one plant or flower with the ovum of another plant or flower of the same species normally and form a zygote. The zygote gets an equal amount of genetic material from both parent plants by the process f exchange of the genetic material.

The ovum or the egg cell of the plant is considered as the mother and the mother is responsible for the chloroplast And mitochondria of the progeny so in this case, the ovum and egg cell comes from the only plant Q thus, the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0%.

You are a botanist looking at the plant color in a new breed of Snapdragon. The two parent plants are Blue and Green and when you cross them you make F1 plants that are Cyan in color (a light aqua color). The ratio of offspring is as follows: There were 42 plants with Blue flowers (R1), 39 plants with Green flowers (R2) and 86 plants with Cyan flowers. Is the number of your progeny consistent with a single-gene incomplete dominance inheritance pattern

Answers

Answer:

Incomplete dominance is the inheritance pattern where the dominant allele did not mask the recessive allele completely and form a mix of both alleles. Here the inheritance is the incomplete inheritance. The ratio of F2 generation is 1:2:1.

Given:

R1R1 = 42

R2R2 = 39

R1R2 = 86

Total R1 alleles = 2*42+86 = 170

Total R2 alleles = 2*39+86 = 164

Total alleles = 334

Frequency of allele R1 = 170/334 = 0.51

Frequency of allele R2 = 164 / 334 = 0.49

Expected number of each phenotype:

Total population = 167

Blue = R1R1 = 0.51 * 0.51 * 167 = 43.44

Green = R2R2 = 0.49 * 0.49 * 167 = 40.10

Cyan = 2*R1*R2 = 2*0.51*0.49*167 = 83.46

Phenotype     Observed(O)    Expected (E)    O-E      (O-E)2     (O-E)2/E

Blue                 42                   43.44               -1.44       2.0736     0.0477

cyan                86                   83.46                 2.54     6.4516     0.0773

green              39                    40.1                    -1.1       1.2100      0.0302

Total              167                     167                                               0.1552

Chi-square value = 0.155

Degrees of freedom = no. of phenotypes – 1

Df = 3-1 = 2

Critical value = 5.99

Chi-square value of 0.155 is less than the critical value of 5.99. So we accept the null hypothesis.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) provides information about: Group of answer choices the pressure of blood in the heart chambers the rhythm of heart contractions the speed of blood flow through the blood vessels the amount of oxygen in the blood as it leaves the heart

Answers

Answer:

the rhythm of heart contractions.

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;

1. Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.

2. Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) provides information about the rhythm of heart contractions.

Additionally, the right atrioventricular valve (AV) also referred to as the tricuspid valve is located on the right dorsal side of the human heart. The right atrioventricular valve (AV) comprises of three (3) leaflets (flaps) which opens and closes in order to allow for the flow of blood from the right atrium of the human heart to the right ventricle. Also, the right atrioventricular valve is saddled with the responsibility of preventing blood from flowing backward in the mammalian heart.

According to the diagram how are the three components
of a nucleotide important to the structure of DNA?

Answers

Answer:

A nucleotide of DNA is made up of three parts: a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

The phosphate group linked with deoxyribose sugar to make the framework for the nitrogenous bases. The phosphate group and sugar molecule make the DNA backbone and support it. These backbones hold nitrogenous bases and make a monomer of DNA. Nitrogenous bases make DNA stable and hold both backbones together. These bases also make DNA functional.
