1. List the cellular structures over which an action potential travels, starting at the dendrites and traveling to where neurotransmitter molecules are released.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A neuron or a nerve cell is a unique cell, which performs an essential function of transmitting the nerve impulse in the form of action potential from one nerve cell to another. The point of communication between two neurons is known as a synaptic junction from where the transmission of a signal between presynaptic axon end and the postsynaptic dendrite occurs.  

The synapse present in the dendrite receives a signal in the form of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic axon. This results in the formation of an action potential that gets transmitted towards the cell body of a neuron. From the cell body, the conduction of impulse takes place via a long tubule composition known as an axon, which constitutes the nodes of Ranvier and reaches the nerve endings or the axon terminals.  

In the terminals, the change in potential results in the opening of the ions channels that discharge neurotransmitters in the form of acetylcholine, which further combines with the ligand-receptor situated on the next dendrite and thus repeats the process. Thus, the action potential travels from the dendrite to the cell body, and from there it travels to the terminals of the axon and eventually towards the ion channels and the ligand-receptor.

Both crystal violet and safranin are basic stains and may be used to do simple stains on Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells. This being the case, explain how they end up staining Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells differently in the Gram stain.

Answers

Answer:

Gram positive cells retains purple stains of crystal violet, gram-negative cells takes up red or pink stain of safranin

Explanation:

Gram staining is a simple method of distinguishing between Gram-positive cells and Gram-negative cells. The method make use of the following steps

Heat fix cells on a glass slide and then:

1. Stain cell with crystal violet for 1 min

2. Rinse with water

3. Decolourize with alcohol for 30 seconds and wash with water

4. flood cells with iodine as mordant

5. Flush with water

6. Counterstain with safranin for 1 min and wash with water

7. View under the microscope

Gram-positive cell possesses a thick peptidoglycan in its cell wall which helps retain the purple colour of the crystal violet, While Gram-negative cells will loose out this colour when flushed with alcohol but takes up the red or pink colour when stained with safranin.

Final answer:

Crystal violet stains Gram-positive cells purple, while safranin stains Gram-negative cells pink in the Gram stain.

Explanation:

Crystal violet and safranin are used in the Gram stain to differentiate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells. Crystal violet is a primary stain that binds to the thick peptidoglycan layer of Gram-positive cells, making them appear purple.

Safranin, a secondary counterstain, is applied after decolorization and stains the decolorized Gram-negative cells pink. The differences in cell wall structure and the interaction of the stains with the cell walls result in the differential staining of Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells.

It can be desirable to produce eukaryotic proteins in prokaryotes such as E. coli. To do this several DNA sequences must be joined or cloned together. Place the labels in the appropriate position to allow for the expression of the insulin protein in a prokaryotic cell. cDNA is DNA that is synthesized from the mature mRNA from eukaryotic cells using the enzyme reverse transcriptase.

5' end_____ _____ _____ _____3' end

1. Poly A signal sequence
2. Genomic clone of insulin
3. Rho terminator
4. -95 CAT box
5. -10 TATA
6. -25 TATA box
7. cDNA of insulin
8. -35 Sequence

Answers

Final answer:

To express human insulin protein in E. coli, assemble a DNA sequence that contains a -35 Sequence, a -10 TATA box for bacterial promoter activity, followed by the cDNA of insulin, and ends with a Rho terminator for transcription termination.

Explanation:

To generate a recombinant version of the human insulin protein in a prokaryotic cell, such as E. coli, we need to assemble a proper expression cassette. The cassette needs to have a eukaryotic gene sequence converted to cDNA, combined with prokaryotic promoter and terminator sequences to allow expression in the host cell.

The correct order for cloning the insulin cDNA for expression is:

-35 Sequence-10 TATA box (also known as Pribnow box)cDNA of insulinRho terminator or a similar prokaryotic terminator

The -35 Sequence (-35 Sequence) and the -10 TATA box (-10 TATA) are part of the bacterial promoter necessary for initiating transcription. The cDNA of insulin (cDNA of insulin) is inserted downstream of the promoter, allowing it to be transcribed. Finally, a termination sequence such as the Rho terminator is necessary to stop transcription.

Why these specific elements? The -35 and -10 sequences are binding sites for the RNA polymerase in prokaryotes, which begins the process of transcription. The cDNA of insulin, obtained through reverse transcription of the mature mRNA, excludes any introns that would be present in the genomic clone (thus, we do not use the Genomic clone of insulin or the Poly A signal sequence which are found in eukaryotic expression systems). The Rho terminator is a sequence that facilitates the termination of transcription in prokaryotes.

Have your partner focus on an object on the far side of the room (e.g., the chalkboard or a chart) for 1 minute. Then have your partner switch focus to an object in your hand (e.g., a pencil). Watch your partner's pupils carefully as the point of focus is changed from far to near.

Answers

Answer:

Eye changes or adjusts itself according to the focus of our eye.

Explanation:

Pupil changes its shape when the eye focuses on near or far object. When we observe something far away, the pupil gets widen. But when we look at something near to us, pupil get smaller. So, pupil adjust itself according to the focus of our eye. If the partner switches from far to near, the pupil changes from wide to small. Pupil changes its shape according to bright as well as dim light also.

In organisms with large genomes, inversions are more likely to be tolerated if the breakpoints occur in: reciprocal translocations. noncoding DNA. open reading frames. coding DNA. closed reading frames.

Answers

Answer:

Non-coding DNA.

Explanation:

Inversion is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which the sequence of a segment of a chromosome is inverted or rotated at an angle of 180 degrees.  This type of abnormality can change the reading frame of the gene and can cause mutations.

But if the genome sequence is non-coding that is not involved in the formation of protein synthesis than even if the reading frame is inverted will not affect the phenotype of the cell. Also, the non-coding sequences are removed by the splicing mechanisms.

Thus, Non-coding DNA is correct.

what color would the ecoli cell appear under the microscope following a gram stain? explain why with a clear explanation of the gram staining process and the peritnent cellular componests that cause cells to stain

Answers

Answer:E. Coli will appear pink in color under the microscope following gram staining

Explanation:

The Gram stain is a differential technique that is commonly used for the purposes of classifying bacteria. The staining technique distinguishes between two main types of bacteria (gram positive and gram negative) by imparting color on the cells.

Being Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli have an additional outer membrane that is composed of phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides. The presence lipopolysaccharides on the outer membrane of bacteria gives it an overall negative charge to the cell wall. Because of these properties, E. coli does not retain crystal violet during the Gram staining process.

Two strains of true-breeding maize that both produce ears of corn with white kernels are crossed and found to produce F1 plants that all make ears of corn with red kernels. If these F1 plants are backcrossed to one of the parents, what proportion of the offspring should have white kernels

Answers

Answer:

50% or 1/2

Explanation:

Since the two parental strains are true-breeding, that is, homozygous; it means that the red kerneled ears of corn offspring produced are heterozygous and one of the parental strains must have been homozygous recessive and the other homozygous dominant.

Assuming the ears of corn's colour is coded for by the allele A, it means that one of the parents has the genotype AA while the other has aa with the offspring having genotype Aa.

AA and aa genotypes produce white ears of corn while Aa genotype produce red ears of corn.

Thus, if Aa is backrossed to either of AA and aa:

Aa  x  AA = AA (white), AA (white), Aa (red) and Aa (red)

Aa x aa = Aa (red), Aa (red), aa (white) and aa (white)

Hence, the proportion of the offspring with white kernels will be 50% in each case.

a. 39.9
b. 40.4
c. 41.5
d. 42.5

Answers

Answer: 41.5 OMGs is the predicted mean cuteness in the next generation.

Explanation:

Cuteness is a way to measure relative ability of individuals with a certain genotype to reproduce successfully.

Mean cuteness is given as the summation of individual cuteness. Mean cuteness also changes in the next generation.

The mean cuteness of the current herd was given as 39.7 OMGs and after 16 individuals were chosen, the mean was given as 41.5.

This implies that there was a change already as mean cuteness will either increase or decrease in the next generation after selection. Here, 39.7 increased to 41.5 .

The predicted mean cuteness is therefore 41.5 OMGs.

"Suppose that two parents are both heterozygous for sickle cell anemia, which is an autosomal recessive disease. They have eight children. Use the binomial theorem to determine the probability that three of the children have sickle cell anemia and five of the children are healthy. Round your answer to the nearest tenth."

Answers

If two parents are both heterozygous for sickle cell anemia, the probability that three of the children have sickle cell anemia and five of the children are healthy is approximately 0.1 or 11.0%.

What is the probability of sickle cell anemia?

The probability of having 3 children with sickle cell anemia and 5 healthy children out of 8 total children is explained below.

The probability of any individual child having sickle cell anemia with heterozygous parents is 1/4; the probability of any individual child being healthy is 0.75.

Using the binomial theorem,

P(3 children with sickle cell anemia and 5 healthy children)

= [tex]P^8[/tex]₃ ×[tex](1/4)^3[/tex] ×[tex](3/4)^5[/tex]

= P(3 children with sickle cell anemia and 5 healthy children) = 0.110 that is nearly 11%.

Final answer:

The probability that three out of eight children of two heterozygous parents for sickle cell anemia have the disease and five are healthy is approximately 20.7%.

Explanation:

The question posed involves the application of the binomial theorem to a genetic problem involving sickle cell anemia, an autosomal recessive disease. To find the probability that three of the children have sickle cell anemia and five of the children are healthy when both parents are heterozygous for the trait, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ × (p)ˣ × (q)ⁿ⁻ˣ

Where 'n' is the total number of children (8), 'x' is the number of children affected with sickle cell anemia (3), 'p' is the probability of having sickle cell anemia (1/4), and 'q' is the probability of being healthy (3/4). The term 'ⁿCₓ' represents the binomial coefficient, which can be calculated using combinations.

P(3 have sickle cell) = ⁸C₃ × (1/4)³ × (3/4)⁵

Calculating further:

P(3 have sickle cell) = 56 × (1/64) × (243/1024)

P(3 have sickle cell) = 56 × (243/65536)

P(3 have sickle cell) = 13608/65536

Converting to a percentage and rounding to the nearest tenth gives us approximately:

P(3 have sickle cell) = 20.7%

What do you think might be the evolutionary benefit of the milk production regulation mechanism in breastfeeding?

Answers

Answer: The benefit of evolutionary benefit of milk production regulation mechanism is that the mother will not waste her energy or nutrients required for her growth and development to produce milk at that time rather it will be during her late pregnancy stage where the mammary gland will be activated by oxytocin hormone to produce milk automatically to breast feed infants at birth.

Explanation:

Evolution of lactation or mammary glands in mammals has been very important to feed the infants.

Lactation refers to production of milk from the mammary glands. Lactation normally occur at post pregnancy stage. At this stage the infants are born and milk is been secreted by the mammary glands to breast feed the young ones. Lactation doesn't occur all the time but it occur during late to post pregnancy stage. This is activated by oxytocin which help to implant embryo in the uterus and help in lactation.

The milk production regulation mechanism in breastfeeding is a complex process that is controlled by a variety of hormones, including prolactin, oxytocin, and estrogen. This mechanism ensures that the mother produces enough milk to meet the needs of her baby, but not so much that it becomes a burden.

There are several possible evolutionary benefits of this mechanism.

First, it helps to ensure that the baby is always fed, even if the mother is not constantly producing milk. This is important for the survival of the baby, as it needs to be fed frequently in order to grow and develop.

Second, the mechanism helps to prevent the mother from producing too much milk, which can lead to mastitis, an infection of the breast tissue. Mastitis can be painful and can interfere with breastfeeding.

Third, the mechanism helps to ensure that the milk is of the right composition for the baby. The composition of milk changes over time to meet the changing needs of the baby. For example, the milk produced in the early days after birth is high in colostrum, which is a nutrient-rich liquid that helps to protect the baby from infection.

Hence, the milk production regulation mechanism in breastfeeding is a complex and efficient process that has evolved to ensure the survival and health of the baby.

in general terms, what two general factors in a medium affect small speed of sound?

Please explain! I will give brainliest!

Answers

Answer:

Density of the medium, temperature of the medium, and stiffness of the medium.

Explanation:

Medium

Medium has a huge effect of the speed of sound.  When most people discuss the “speed of sound” they are talking about the propagation of sound waves through the medium of “Air”.  For anyone who has gone underwater and listen to people talking above it is likely that one would notice the muted an “odd” way that voices sound underwater.  This is because the “medium” of water greatly bends, distorts and changes the speed of sound wave.

There is a whole aspect of science that measure and defines the effect of different mediums (gaseous and liquid) on the speed of sound.  This is called Fluid Dynamics.  Underwater communication is possible if you understand how this wave propagation as well as another important factor (pressure).

Because of elasticity of materials sound will, as a rule of thumb, generally travel faster in solids than in liquids and faster in liquids than in gases.

♦  Temperature

Temperature has a large effect on the speed of sound.  Not as much as the “Medium” does, but far more than anything else.  Temperature affects the speed of sound because temperature can affect the “elastic” qualities of different mediums.  At the very basics lower temperatures will decrease the speed of sound while higher temperatures will increase the speed of sound, all other factors being equal.

♦  Pressure

Pressure is the final factor that has a significant impact on the speed of sound.  The effect of pressure on the speed of sound is due to the materials inertial properties.  In short, the more pressure that is applied to the material or medium the denser it becomes and the greater the “inertia” becomes.  This makes any interactions between particles slower.  Therefore the speed of sound throughout the medium is slowed due to the greater pressure.

Answer:

Elasticity and density

Explanation:

The speed of sound depends on elasticity and density of the medium through which it is travelling. The sound travels faster in liquids than gases. The sound travels faster in solids than in liquids. The lesser the elasticity and higher the density , the sound travels slower in a medium.

Speed = elasticity / density

Answers

Answer:the following processes directly require ATP includes:

B (Release of cross-bridge (interaction) between actin and myosin.)

C (Movement of calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after contraction.)

Explanation:

Muscle contraction occurs in various parts of the body to ensure proper body functioning. This process requires the release of calcium ion and the use of ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate) as source of energy at various levels for the process to take place. The distinct role of ATP in muscle contraction includes:

-ATP is directly required as it causes detachment from actin after power stroke when it binds at one of the reactive sites of myosin. This explains option B (Release of cross-bridge (interaction) between actin and myosin.)

-it powers the pump that transports calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after contraction. This explains option C (Movement of calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after contraction)

- it activates the myosin head so it can bind to actin and rotate by the action of ATpase enzyme.

The following processes which directly require ATP include

Release of cross-bridge (interaction) between actin and myosin.Movement of calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after contraction.

The myosin head has to move in order for the release of cross-bridge

between them to be achieved. The myosin head movement brings about

movement of the actin also.

The movement of calcium also requires the use of ATP as it helps in the

pumping of the calcium ions into the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

g Imagine two different sigma factors with different promoter recognition sequences. What would happen to the overall gene expression profile in the cell if one sigma factor were artificially overexpressed?

Answers

Answer:

Transcription is affected via the modulation of the concentrations of the different types of holoenzymes, so saturated promoters are only weakly affected by sigma factor competition. However, in case of overlapping promoters or promoters recognized by two types of sigma factors, we find that even saturated promoters are strongly affected. Active transcription effectively lowers the affinity between the sigma factor driving it and the core RNAP, resulting in complex cross-talk effects. Sigma factor competition is not strongly affected by non-specific binding of core RNAPs, sigma factors and holoenzymes to DNA. Finally, we analyze the role of increased core RNAP availability upon the shut-down of ribosomal RNA transcription during the stringent response. We find that passive up-regulation of alternative sigma-dependent transcription is not only possible, but also displays hypersensitivity based on the sigma factor competition.

Case Study: Parents of a 3-year-old boy noticed that their son had a waddling gait, fell frequently and had difficulty getting up again, and was not able to run. By age five, there was progressive muscular weakness and muscle wasting, and weakness of the trunk muscles led to abnormal posture. By age 9 he was confined to a wheelchair. Contractures appeared, first in the feet, as the gastrocnemius muscles tightened.1. This hereditary X-linked recessive disease characterized by progressive muscular weakness is ______.2. What does dystrophy mean? Why is this term used to describe this case?

Answers

Answer:

Muscular dystrophy

Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy is an inheritable genetic condition that involves mutations in genes that encodes the production of muscle proteins to build and to preserve healthy proteins. The disease is characterised by progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.

Dystrophy is referred to as a disorder in which the a tissue or an orgasm progressively wastes away. Thé dystrophy term is used because the disease involves the gradual and progressive wasting away of the muscle which is a type of tissue causing muscular weakness allowing the child to experience these symptoms.

Why does it make biochemical sense that chaperones recognize hydrophobic surface area? What catastrophic event are chaperones meant to prevent in cells?

Answers

Answer:

Molecular chaperons in the cells helps in protein folding. These are the group of proteins that have functional similarity and they also assist protein folding.

They have the ability to prevent the non specific binding and aggregation by the binding of the non native proteins.

Molecular chaperons helps in recognizing the hydrophobic surfaces of the unfolded proteins because they themselves are hydrophobic in nature and will combine to the hydrophic binding and bonding.

This helps in guiding the protein to folding.

Final answer:

Chaperones recognize hydrophobic surface areas to prevent protein aggregation during folding, which could lead to cellular dysfunction. They help proteins fold correctly and prevent catastrophic events such as the formation of protein aggregates.

Explanation:

Chaperones recognize hydrophobic surface areas because many proteins require assistance in the folding process to prevent them from aggregating during folding. Hydrophobic regions on the protein's surface tend to be exposed and can interact with other hydrophobic regions, leading to protein aggregation. Chaperones bind to these hydrophobic regions and help the protein fold correctly by preventing aggregation. This prevents catastrophic events such as the formation of protein aggregates, which can lead to cellular dysfunction and disease.

In cattle, coats may be solid white, solid black, or black-and-white spotted. When true-breeding solid whites are mated with true-breeding solid blacks, the F1 generation consists of all solid white individuals. After many F1×F1 matings, the following ratio was observed in the F2 generation: 12/16 solid white 3/16 black-and-white spotted 1/16 solid black Part A How many gene pairs are involved in the inheritance of cattle coat color?

Answers

Answer:

Two locus

Explanation:

Let assume  the gene for white (1st locus) be W i.e. ww = recessive

here, Let the alleles for the 2nd locus be B and b.

White: W_B_, W_bb

Black&White: wwB_

Black: wwbb

This is dominant epistasis. In dominant epistasis, where the dominant allele of the 1st locus (W) masks or hide the expression of the 2nd locus. When the two alleles in the 1st locus are recessive (ww), the alleles in the 2nd locus can be expressed(B and b).

Two locus gene pairs are involved in the inheritance of cattle coat color

Assumption of Generation:

Let us assume the gene for white (1st locus) be W i.e. ww = recessive here, Let the alleles for the 2nd locus be B and b.

White: W_B_, W_bbBlack&

White: wwB_Black: wwbb

This represents dominant epistasis. In this, the dominant allele of the 1st locus (W) should mask or hide the expression of the 2nd locus. At the time when the two alleles in the 1st locus are recessive (ww), so the alleles in the 2nd locus could be expressed(B and b).
