Using the Hardy-Weinberg Law of Equilibrium, evaluate whether the populations are in equilibrium or not.
Scenario 1 You have a population of 1000 people, and you are looking at the population genetics of a blood marker that has two alleles. The dominant allele (Y) makes the protein, and the recessive allele (y) does not make the protein. When you test the blood of the population, you find: 490 people have the genotype YY 420 people have the genotype Yy 90 people have the genotype yy What are the allele frequencies (Y and y)? What are the expected genotype frequencies (YY, Yy, and yy)? Is the population in equilibrium? Yes or no? If the population is not in equilibrium, which of the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg do you think may have been violated?
Scenario 2 Now, a few of the people in your study population move to settle an isolated, empty island. You travel to the island and do a genetic survey of the population. 60 are YY 40 are Yy 0 are yy What are the allele frequencies (Y and y)? What are the expected genotype frequencies (YY, Yy, and yy)? Is the population in equilibrium? Yes or no? If the population is not in equilibrium, which of the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg do you think may have been violated?
Answer/Explanation:
Scenario 1
What are the allele frequencies (Y and y)?
490 people have the genotype YY, 420 people have the genotype Yy, and 90 people have the genotype yy.
The allele frequency of Y is 490 (from the YY group) + half of 420 (from the Yy group) = 700. There are 1000 people total, so the allele frequency of Y is 700/1000 = 0.7 (70%)
The allele frequency of y is 90 (from the yy group) + half of 420 (from the Yy group) = 300. There are 1000 people total, so the allele frequency of y 300/1000 = 0.3 (30%)
This checks out, as the equation for the allele frequencies for 2 alleles of a gene is p + q = 1.0. In this case, Y + y = 1 (as 0.7 + 0.3 = 1)
What are the expected genotype frequencies (YY, Yy, and yy)?
The expected genotypes based on genotype frequencies p and q are calculated from the following equation:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1 (or 100%).
Therefore, the expected frequency of YY (p²) is 0.7² = 0.49 (or 49%). For a population of 1000, that means we expect 490 YY.
The expected frequency of Yy (2pq) is 2 x 0.3 x 0.7 = 0.42 (or 42%) For a population of 1000, that means we expect 420 Yy.
The expected frequency of yy (q²) is 0.3² = 0.09 (or 42%) For a population of 1000, that means we expect 90 yy.
Is the population in equilibrium? Yes or no?
This matches up with our observations exactly (and the total of the values 0.49 + 0.42 + 0.09 = 1), meaning that yes, the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
Scenario 2
What are the allele frequencies (Y and y)?
60 people have the genotype YY, 40 people have the genotype Yy, and 0 people have the genotype yy.
The allele frequency of Y is 60 (from the YY group) + half of 40 (from the Yy group) = 80. There are 100 people total (60 + 40 + 0), so the allele frequency of Y is 80/100 = 0.8 (80%)
The allele frequency of y is 0 (from the yy group) + half of 40 (from the Yy group) = 20. There are 100 people total (60 + 40 + 0), so the allele frequency of Y is 20/100 = 0.2 (20%)
What are the expected genotype frequencies (YY, Yy, and yy)?
The expected genotypes based on genotype frequencies p and q are calculated from the following equation:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1 (or 100%).
Therefore, the expected frequency of YY (p²) is 0.8² = 0.64 (or 64%). For a population of 100, that means we expect 64 YY.
The expected frequency of Yy (2pq) is 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32 (or 32%) For a population of 100, that means we expect 32 Yy.
The expected frequency of yy (q²) is 0.2² = 0.04 (or 4%) For a population of 100, that means we expect 4 yy.
Is the population in equilibrium? Yes or no?
No, the population deviates from Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, because we are missing any individuals with a yy genotype. This means the observed frequencies are not true of the expected frequency
If the population is not in equilibrium, which of the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg do you think may have been violated?
The assumption that has likely been violated is that the population is large. This population is small, and is a small sample of the original population, meaning genetic variation is reduced.
Darwin stated four conditions that are necessary for natural selection to occur. Which of these conditions is not fulfilled by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the organism that causes tuberculosis?
Answer:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis fulfilled all the four conditions stated by Darwin.
Explanation:
Natural selection is the ability of an organism with favored heritable traits for survival and reproduction, have more offsprings or young ones than its peers , after transferring those heritable traits to the young ones.
The four conditions , necessary for natural selection as stipulated by Darwin are,
* reproduction
* heredity
* variation in organisms
* variation of an individual organism or character among others in the population.
Final answer:
All of Darwin's conditions for natural selection are met by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly under the selective pressure of antibiotics where resistant strains survive and become predominant.
Explanation:
Charles Darwin identified essential conditions for natural selection to occur, which include variation of traits among individuals in a population, heritability of those traits, differential survival, and differential reproduction. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, indeed fulfills these conditions, particularly in the presence of antibiotics.
Due to its slow growth rate and genetic variation, some individuals naturally possess mutations that confer resistance to antibiotics. When treated with antibiotics, susceptible bacteria are killed while resistant ones survive, reproduce, and pass on their resistant traits, leading to a population shift towards drug resistance.
Regarding the student's question on which condition is not fulfilled by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, all of Darwin's conditions for natural selection are generally met by this organism, especially in light of antibiotic resistance. The true question may be centered on whether this process is an example of artificial selection due to human intervention (using antibiotics) or natural selection. The change in environment, caused by the use of antibiotics, inadvertently selects for resistant strains of M. tuberculosis, making this an example of natural selection as the bacteria is adapting to a new environmental condition.
A scientific study looked at the effect of tanning beds on DNA damage. The scientists took skin cells and exposed them to UV radiation (the type used in indoor tanning beds) for different lengths of time: some for 1 minute, some for 5 minutes, some for 15 minutes, and some for 30 minutes. They then looked for signs of DNA damage and compared the results to cells that had never been exposed to UV light. What is the independent variable in this experiment
Answer:
Tanning of DNA using UV light at different time (1 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes)
Explanation:
Independent variable is the variable that was controlled or change and in this case it is the tanning of DNA with UV light at different times and the dependent variable is what is measured or the effect of the change in the independent variable which is DNA damage and the control was the cells that did not receive the treatment.
The independent variable in this experiment is the amount of time the skin cells were exposed to UV radiation. While UV-A radiation from tanning beds is considered 'safe' compared to UV-B, prolonged exposure can still cause DNA damage and increase the risk of cancer.
Explanation:The independent variable in the experiment is the length of time that the skin cells were exposed to UV radiation from tanning beds. This is what the scientists deliberately changed to observe what effect different durations of UV exposure would have on DNA damage in skin cells. They compared cells exposed for 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes to cells not exposed to UV radiation at all.
It is important to note that the 'safe' UV radiation used in tanning salons is UV-A light, which has a longer wavelength than the more damaging UV-B radiation found in natural sunlight. Although it's branded as 'safe,' UV-A has enough photon energy to trigger the tanning mechanism in the skin, which is a defense mechanism. However, with prolonged exposure, UV-A radiation can still lead to cell damage and has the potential to induce cancer, as established by the World Health Organization's classification of UV radiation as a Group 1 carcinogen.
The only phylum in the group Parazoans is ________. A. Porifera B. Cnidaria C. Lophotrochozoa D. Ctenophora E. Ecdysozoa
Answer:
A. Porifera
Explanation:
Parazoan is a sub-kingdom of animal consisting only of the phylum of sponges (porifera), having two tissue layers only and lacking a nervous system and true digestive cavity.
They have certain characteristics like: sponges are marine, but there are some freshwater sponges that enjoy their water without salt. Most sponges do not have any type of symmetry, but some are radially symmetrical and they come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, they are multicellular, heterotrophic and lack cell walls. Unlike other organisms, sponges lack true tissues and organs.
The mesohyl functions as an endoskeleton in most sponges, and is the only skeleton in soft sponges. This mesohyl is stiffened by mineral spicules, by spongin fibers or both.
What is the function of a selectively permeable membrane? A. It allows no large molecules to leave the cell and all large molecules to enter. B. It allows some molecules to enter the cell and blocks entry to others. C. It allows all molecules to enter the cell but blocks them all from leaving. D. It allows all molecules to enter the cell and allows all molecules to leave.
Answer: Option b: it allows some molecules to enter the cell and block entry to others.
Explanation: selective permeability allows those molecules to enter the cell which are small, uncharged. Large molecules pass slowly.
4. What do you think would happen to the intended protein if there were a DNA mutation whereby
one of the nitrogen bases (A, T, G, C) were replaced by a different one?
Some different proteins will be produced from the gene.
Explanation:When one of the nitrogen bases of a DNA is replaced by another, the phenomenon is called a point mutation. This condition actually is a mutation because, a gene translates into a protein through the mRNA. Now the DNA transcribes into a mRNA. If one of the nitrogen bases are changed in DNA, it will lead to change in the corresponding base of mRNA too. So the codon of which the changed nitrogen base is a part of, also changes which now codes for a different amino acid. So the protein structure also changes.
This condition is actually seen in sickle cell anaemia, where the 6th amino acid of haemoglobin changes from glutamic acid to valine, and the RBC structure becomes sickle celled owing to a hydrogen bond between valine and other amino acids.
Final answer:
A DNA mutation where one nitrogen base is replaced by another, known as a substitution mutation, might not change the protein if the amino acid remains the same (silent mutation). However, if it results in a different amino acid (missense mutation) or a stop codon (nonsense mutation), it could significantly impact the structure and function of the protein.
Explanation:
When a DNA mutation occurs that results in the replacement of one of the nitrogen bases (A, T, G, C) with a different one, this is known as a substitution mutation. The consequences of such a mutation on the intended protein primarily depend on whether the mutation leads to a change in an amino acid that is encoded by the affected DNA segment. Since the genetic code is degenerate, meaning that some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, it's possible that a substitution might not change the amino acid sequence of the protein (silent mutation). However, if a different amino acid is encoded (missense mutation), this could alter the protein's structure and functionality. In more severe cases, if the mutation results in a stop codon (nonsense mutation), it could lead to the premature termination of protein synthesis, generating a truncated, often nonfunctional protein.
An example of how a seemingly small change can have significant effects is the substitution mutation in the hemoglobin gene that leads to sickle-cell anemia. Here, a single base change causes a different amino acid to be incorporated into the hemoglobin protein, drastically affecting its function and shape.
A tricky question with no single right answer: In maintaining the functional shape of an enzyme, are the non-covalent interactions or covalent bonds stronger?
Answer:

how do the characteristics of shale change with increased pressure and temperature?
Answer: Shale changes into Slate.
Explanation:
Shale is a sedimentary rock, formed by the deposition and compression of clay and silt.
Shale layers is buried deep into the earth through the process of deposition (i.e the laying down of rock forming material by natural entities like glaciers, wind, and water).
Temperatures and pressures rise greatly because the shale’s layers are buried. When the temperatures and pressures become higher. The shale is changed into a metamorphic rock (with dark brown streak), called Slate.
Final answer:
Shale changes under increased pressure and temperature during metamorphism, becoming denser, harder, and ultimately transforming into metamorphic rocks such as schist, with the original bedding obscured and the presence of new minerals aligned perpendicular to pressure.
Explanation:
When shale is exposed to increased pressure and temperature conditions, it undergoes a metamorphic transformation. Temperature and confining pressure play significant roles in altering the rock's characteristics. As the temperature rises, the energy of the shale's minerals increases, resulting in increased atomic vibrations and potential atom swapping within the crystal lattice. This process can lead to the formation of new minerals and changes in the rock's chemical equilibrium.
With an increase in pressure, especially confining pressure, the rock becomes denser and harder. This results in textural changes such as the realignment of mica crystals in the direction perpendicular to the main stress, a characteristic commonly seen when shale metamorphoses into schist. Additionally, the original sedimentary bedding of shale becomes difficult to distinguish after it has been significantly altered by heat and pressure.
Through this metamorphic process, shale can recrystallize and form different types of metamorphic rocks, such as hornfels or schist, depending on factors like the rock strength and the presence of chemically reactive fluids. Over time, increased depth within the Earth's crust introduces high pressure and temperature, which lead to various degrees of metamorphism, ultimately changing the characteristics and appearance of the original shale rock.
Impression materials that have mechanical properties permitting considerable elastic deformation but that return to their original form are classified as:
Answer:
Elastomeric
Explanation:
An elastomer is a polymer whose main characteristic is elasticity and can even recover its shape after being deformed
The chemical composition of an elastomer is the grouping of thousands of molecules called monomers, which join together forming huge chains. These large chains of polymers are those that give elasticity since they are flexible and are intertwined in a very messy way.
When an elastomer is stretched, its molecules align, allowing many times to take a crystalline appearance. However, upon releasing the tension, it immediately returns to its original state of elastic disorder. The above distinguishes elastomers from plastic polymers.
Long arms with short legs and a short, stable lumbar spine are traits associated with which of the following? Group of answer choices
1. arboreal quadrupedalism.
2. brachiation.
3. vertical clinging and leaping.
4. full-time bipedalism
5. terrestrial quadrupedalism.
Answer:
The correct answer is - option 2.
Explanation:
Brachiation is a movement or locomotion in which movement is occurred by the swinging from changing the hold from one arm to the other. In this primate such as spider monkeys, gibbons, and other similar primates those have long arms with comparatively smaller legs and stable but short lumbar spine. These longer arms help in making hold and swinging from one tree to another.
Thus, the correct answer is - option 2.
Answer:
Brachiation.
Explanation:
Arboreal activities are developed in the organisms that has the ability to fly and remains limited to the lands. Different arboreal mechanism include clinging, brachiation and leaping.
Brachiation is also known as the arm swinging in which the individual swings from one branch to other branch by using the arms only. The organisms that are adapted to brachiation has short legs and the longer arms. The lumbar spine is quite stable and supported by the forelimb.
Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

Answer: In addition to having a 50% chance of inheriting autosomal dominant disorders from an affected parent, such a disorder is characterized by equal frequency of occurrence in both sexes (male and female).
Explanation: Autosomal dominant disorder has the following characteristics;
1. Appears in both sexes with equal frequency.
2. Does not skip generations.
3. Affected offsprings must have an affected parent unless they possess a new mutation.
4. Unaffected parents do not transmit the disorder.
5. When one parent is affected (heterozygous) and the other parent is unaffected, approximately 50% of the offsprings will be affected.
Members of two different species possess a similar-looking structure that they use in a similar way to perform about the same function. Which of the following would suggest that the relationship more likely represents homology instead of convergent evolution?
Answer: The member of two different species possess similar looking structure that in a similar way perform same function is homology.
Explanation: The term homology describes shared ancestry pair of structures. For example, apes and dogs are different and the arms of ape and forelegs of a dog are derived from ancestry tetrapod structure that perform similar function like aiding locomotion.
The cellular process of synthesizing large molecules from smaller ones is defined as The cellular process of synthesizing large molecules from smaller ones is defined as __________.a. metabolism. b. catalysis. c. dehydration. d. anabolism. e. catabolism.
Answer:
D (anabolism)
Explanation:
Organisms of differing range undergo certain chemical reactions in their cell. The collection of all the chemical reaction they undergo is called METABOLISM. Metabolism is a balance between its two types which are: ANABOLISM and CATABOLISM.
Anabolism is the build up of larger and complex units or molecules using smaller ones. Due to the fact that it involves building up, it is referred to as CONSTRUCTIVE METABOLISM. The anabolic process usually involves expending energy to assemble this smaller molecules, hence it is said to be ENDERGONIC i.e. energy requiring. A common example of anabolism occurs in the Chloroplast of plant cells, where the captured energy from sunlight is used to assemble carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to form an organic sugar molecule (glucose).
On the other hand, CATABOLISM is the opposite of anabolism, and it involves breaking down of these complex molecules into simpler ones. The energy released in this process is made use of in anabolism.
The process of synthesizing large molecules from smaller ones is called anabolism, which is option d. It is a metabolic process that generally requires energy, which is derived from catabolism, another part of the body's metabolic systems.
Explanation:An instance of an anabolic process can be seen in the creation of proteins from individual amino acids. Anabolism is a type of metabolic process in the body that builds up complex molecules from simpler ones. It generally requires energy, which is derived from catabolism, the process that breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones. Therefore, anabolism and catabolism are parts of the larger metabolic process in an organism.

c. is melting arctic snow exposing dark surfaces that heat up and cause further melting
d. are predators eating most of their prey and then declining in numbers
e. is a pond becoming more acidic as a result of pollution.
Answer:
The answer is option c. is melting arctic snow exposing dark surfaces that heat up and cause further melting
Explanation:
Positive feedback loop is the process that occurs when the product of a reaction exacerbates the reaction. Melting artic snow expose dark surfaces that heat up and result in further increase in melting.
Final answer:
A positive feedback loop example c. is melting arctic snow exposing dark surfaces that heat up and cause further melting.
Explanation:
An example of a positive feedback loop is melting Arctic snow exposing dark surfaces that heat up and cause further melting. In ecological and biological systems, a positive feedback loop refers to a process that enhances or amplifies changes, leading to an increasing deviation away from the system's original state. For instance, melting permaf_rost in the Arctic leads to the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which in turn cause further warming and more melting. This self-amplifying cycle is a classic example of positive feedback in the Earth's climate system.

Describe the role of each of the following mechanisms in determining an individual’s eating habits and body weight.• Biological Mechanisms Learning Mechanisms• Body or brain chemistry Reinforcement• Brain structure Modeling• Genetics Cultural Factors
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Biological Mechanism: This are things like hunger, appetite and taste of the individual. Every individual is unique and one's hunger and appetite determines how often and how much they eat respectively. The higher these are, the more likely they are to consume calories. The taste is even more relevant as it speaks to what kind of food the individual likes, is it high calorie or low? Is it fat rich or low fibre? Etc.
Learning Mechanism: This are relevant mostly to students. Studying patterns greatly affect eating habits and body weight. Time of sleep, stress patterns, balanced diet and even regularly missing a meal for a study group directly affects metabolism patterns. For instance, eating breakfast regularly boosts metabolism, and is good for weight balance.
Reinforcement: Certain foods are quite addictive and so reinforce their consumption by adjusting brain chemistry.
Body or Brain Chemistry: Studies done on Obesity have found that some individuals are susceptible to environmental food cues than others due to differences in brain chemistry that make eating more habitual and less rewarding. This means that not only do they eat habitually but that it is less satisfying. This is a major contributor to obesity. These Peculiarities in brain/body chemistry affect people's eating pattern and their weight.
Brain Structure Modeling: Uncontrolled eating is also positively associated with gray matter volume (GMV) of the cerebellum, and negatively associated with the Gray matter volume on the left side of the anterior cingulate cortex, middle cingulate cortex, and supplementary motor areas. What this means is that individuals with more gray matter volume in these areas of their brains are more presdusposedto excessive eating habits and this might lead to weight problems and it's related health risks.
Genetic Factors: These factors are genetic predisposition to eating disorders, genetic influence on taste, meal selection and appetite processing.
These also influence how much the individual ends up eating and what type of food they eat.
Cultural Factors: This include type of food found in one's culture, polite eating habits there, the ingredients used for cooking said culture. It also encorporatea the individual's class as food poverty is known to exist affecting about 14 million people. There's also available and affordability of healthy food options. This affects both eating habits and weight as less healthy junk food are more likely to be calorie dense.
PS: The eating pattern and body weight factors are closely correlated as the eating pattern explains what the weight situation might mirror.
Healthy eating and a balanced diet regulate body weight and health. The eating behaviour targets the weight loss and gain of an individual.
The biological and learning mechanism determines the eating habits as:
Biological Mechanisms:
1. Brain and body chemistry: The release of hormones and chemicals from the body regulates eating habits and weight. Examples are dopamine, glucose, glucagon etc.
2. Brain structure: The gray matter volume of brain structures affects the weight and habits as the lateral and ventromedial hypothalamus regulates the eating and satiety centers respectively.
3. Genetics: the types of food a person consumes and his taste depends on genetic predispositions and influences the meal and taste preferences.
Learning Mechanisms:
1. Reinforcement: The brain adjusts itself sometimes according to the addicting taste of some food items and these aversions modify the eating behaviours.
2. Modeling: Role and observational modelling adjust the eating habits of a person visualizing, hearing or reading about the favourite food items.
3. Cultural factors: The body perception like the chubby or thin and slim body standards of a particular culture affects the eating and diet habits of individuals and affects the weight.
Therefore, eating habits and patterns are influenced by biological and learning mechanisms.

a 26-year old g1p0 woman with last menstrual period 13 weeks ago presents to your office for her first prenatal visit. she reports vaginal spotting for the last two days. you perform an ultrasound that shows an intrauterine pregnancy consistent with 11 weeks gestation with no cardiac activity.?
Answer:
It means that a miscarriage (specifically a MISSED MISCARRIAGE) had occured.
EXPLANATION:
A miscarriage is defined as the spontaneous loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks of gestation.
Types:
A. SPONTANEOUS ABORTION: The spectrum of spontaneous abortion includes:
-Complete Miscarriage: Here the uterus is empty. All pregnancy tissues have been expelled from the body.
-Incomplete miscarriage: Some tissue or placental material still remains in the body. On ultrasound, retained products of conception are seen.
-Missed miscarriage: The embryo dies intrauterine, uterine size is equal to or less than gestational age, cervix is closed and pregnancy symptoms start to regress.
-Threatened miscarriage: Bleeding and abdominal cramps point to a possible miscarriage.
The cervical os is closed.
-Inevitable miscarriage: The cervical os is open. The presence of bleeding, cramping, and cervical dilation indicates that a miscarriage is inevitable.
-Septic miscarriage: Ultrasound finding is retained products of conception.
Symptoms may include Fever, chills and rigor, abdominal pain, prolonged bleeding or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.
B. INDUCED MISCARRIAGE
-Legal/Therapeutic
-Illegal/Criminal
A 26-year-old woman showing an 11-week intrauterine pregnancy with no heartbeat likely indicates a miscarriage, requiring further evaluation. Implantation bleeding could explain spotting after 3 weeks from the last menstrual period, whereas pitocin is used to induce labor in a post-term pregnancy.
Explanation:The presentation of this 26-year-old G1P0 woman, who is 13 weeks post menstrual period with an ultrasound showing an intrauterine pregnancy at 11 weeks with no cardiac activity, could indicate a missed abortion or miscarriage. Spotting and the lack of a detectable heartbeat are significant findings. In a normal pregnancy, cardiac activity is usually visible on an ultrasound by 6 weeks gestation. The discrepancy between the menstrual history and ultrasound findings might be due to a delayed miscarriage, where the fetal demise occurs but is not immediately followed by the expulsion of the pregnancy tissue. It's essential for the healthcare provider to further evaluate and manage the situation, often with follow-up ultrasounds, HCG level monitoring, and discussions regarding possible medical or surgical management of the miscarriage.
Regarding the provided case scenarios, the brief episode of cramping and bleeding approximately 3 weeks after the last menstrual period is often due to implantation bleeding, which is when the embryo attaches to the uterine wall. The woman who experiences mid-cycle pain after unprotected sex has a valid concern about pregnancy as ovulation is taking place, which increases the chance of fertilization. Furthermore, the administration of pitocin in the 41-week pregnant woman is due to induction of labor as the pregnancy is post-term and labor is not progressing.

a. the cell theory.
b. the theory of evolution.
c. the central dogma.
d. the second law of thermodynamics.
e. the first law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
e. the first law of thermodynamics.
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics is about the fact that the creation and destruction of energy are not possible. During any biological or other processes, one form of energy can be converted into another form. But the total amount of energy before and after the process remains the same. In the given example, the part of the energy of a hamburger is used to perform functions, the part is stored in tissues and rest is lost as heat. However, the total energy content remains the same. This represents the first law of thermodynamics.

The earth is the only planet that supports life. The earth has optimum temperature, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere that makes life possible on the earth.
The earth is divided into three layers known as crust, mantle and core. The mantle is the middle layer of the earth. The lithosphere is the further sub division of the crust layer. The lithosphere includes the land area of the earth and further shows the crust layer. The upperside layer of mantle layer is asthenosphere.
Thus, the answer is mantle, lithosphere, crust, asthenosphere, mantle.
(Multiple answers) Choose which of the following are true for how the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI; includes RDA, AI and UL) may be appropriately used: Group of answer choices planning diets for population groups (like military or schools) estimating the adequacy of an individual's nutrient intake. estimating the nutrient needs of persons with medical problems.
Answer:
Correct Answer: Estimating the adequacy of an individual’s nutrient intake
Explanation:
Dietary Reference Intake is used to plan a diet for a regular healthy individual and not for a group of people or for people with medical problems. This is Dietary Reference introduced by the Institute of medicine of the national academies in the US. In order for it to be an average reference that can be widely used by people everywhere around the globe it has to take into account the nutrition recommendations for a single healthy individual, as this eliminates several unknown variables. People with medical problems or population groups cannot appropriately use this as a reference as they do not represent a dietary norm; however, individuals from these groups are free to use the DRI in order to properly plan their meals and nutritional intake.
Final answer:
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) include a range of reference values for nutrient intake which are used for diet planning for groups and individuals, as well as assessing dietary adequacy and determining nutrient needs for those with medical conditions. These reference values adjust based on age, gender, health status, and activity level.
Explanation:
The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of reference values used for planning and assessing nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Adequate Intake (AI), and the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL). The DRIs can indeed be used for various purposes including planning diets for population groups such as military or schools, estimating the adequacy of an individual's nutrient intake, and as a reference point in assessing nutrient needs of persons with medical problems, although care and additional considerations should be given in such medical circumstances.
The RDA provides a guideline that professionals use to assess diet quality and is set to meet the needs of 97.5% of the population, based on the EAR. Understanding the different nutrient requirements can help individuals meet their specific nutritional needs, tailored by factors such as age, gender, health status, and activity level. Given the public health concern in the United States, key quantitative recommendations are also provided for limiting certain components of the diet within calorie restrictions to achieve healthy eating patterns.
Explain three unique ways fungi are different from other microbes (algae, protozoans, bacteria and archaea).
Answer:1) Fungi is a Eukaryotes
2) fungi possess hyphae
3) most fungi are not mobile
Explanation: Fungi is multicellular have a well developed cell structure which comprises of organelles where as other microbes are mostly unicellular and prokaryotes.
Fungi does not move but other microbes process structures for movement and can move
A student received a flu shot in the fall. During the flu season, the student caught a cold. The most likely reason the vaccine he received did not prevent the cold was that:________.
a. his illness was not caused by a pathogen
b. he did not get the vaccine at the right time of year
c. his body produced antibiotics in response to the vaccine
d. the vaccine he received contained only flu virus antigens
Answer:
d. the vaccine he received contained only flu virus antigens
Explanation:
Vaccine imparts immunity to the person by providing them the preformed antibodies or the weakened antigens. Flu shots carry the antigens of the flu virus (the influenza virus) and trigger the formation of memory cells against this virus. The presence of memory cells against the flue virus antigens makes the person immune to flu after vaccination.
However, cold is caused by a different virus (rhinovirus mainly) that have antigens distinct from that of the flu virus antigens. Therefore, a person vaccinated with flu shots would not have the memory cells or the preformed antibodies against the cold virus. This person can catch a cold when infected with the respective virus.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
There are many different types of the flu and there are many different types of illnesses. Meaning that the vaccine could have only killed one strand of the flu or the student got a different type of sickness.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in that they both __________; however, they are different in that only chloroplasts, and not mitochondria, __________.
Answer: produce energy; photosynthesize
Explanation:
Mitochondria and Chloroplast are similar because both are cellular organelles involved in ENERGY PRODUCTION:
- Chloroplasts in green plants, due to its membrane containing chlorophyll molecules produces energy during photosynthesis
- Mitochondria in animal cells produces energy in form of ATP during lipid oxidation occuring in its membrane.
However, both organelles DIFFER in that ONLY CHLOROPLAST allows photosynthesis in its membrane, unlike Mitochondria
Following carbon atoms around the Calvin cycle. The net reaction of the Calvin cycle is the conversion of CO2 into the three-carbon sugar G3P. Along the way, reactions rearrange carbon atoms among intermediate compounds and use the ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions. In this exercise, you will track carbon atoms through the Calvin cycle as required for the net production of one molecule of G3P. For each intermediate compound in the Calvin cycle, identify the number of molecules of that intermediate and the total number of carbon atoms contained in those molecules. As an example, the output G3P is labeled for you: 1 molecule with a total of 3 carbon atoms. Labels may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
a. 3 molecules 3 carbon.
b. 6 molecules 18 carbon.
c. 6 molecules 18 carbon.
d. 5 molecules 15 carbon.
e. 3 molecules 15 carbon.
f. 3 molecules 15 carbon.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Calvin cycle represent the second phase of photosynthesis ( the dark phase of the reaction not because it is dark but because it not dependent on light). The ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent phase used to synthesize glucose. The intermediates and there carbon content are stated below:
3 molecules of carbon dioxide total carbon = 3 carbon
6 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate total carbon = 18 carbon
6 molecules of 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate total carbon = 18 carbon
5 molecules of glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate total carbon = 15 carbon
3 molecules of Ribulose-5-phosphate total carbon = 15 carbon
3 molecules of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate total carbon = 15 carbon
One of the most common causes of acute pain is a. trigeminal neuralgia. b. malignancy. c. headache. d. fibromyalgia.
Answer: Headache
Explanation:
The most common cause of the acute pain is headache. It can be specific or non specific.
The pain in the head can be caused due to any of the reason. It can a normal headache due to be being hungry for a longer period of time.
It can be a migraine pain, it can be pain due to tumor in the brain. There can be pain due to some injury.
Final answer:
The most common cause of acute pain among the given options is a headache, specifically tension headaches, which are due to muscle tension and stress.
Explanation:
One of the most common causes of acute pain is c. headache.
A headache is characterized by continuous pain in the head or neck area and can be caused by various factors including sinus inflammation, migraines, and tension. Tension headaches, which are often due to muscle tension in the shoulders, neck, and head, particularly during stress, account for about 42% of all headaches globally. They are the most common type and are experienced by well over one-third of the population in the United States annually. Factors such as stress can cause muscles to tighten, leading to the pain felt during a tension headache. Mild pain relievers like ibuprofen may help manage the pain.
