Answer 2

Answer:

Yeah same here

Explanation:

The reason is mutation rates differ between species and even between different regions of the genome of a single species. These different rates of nucleotide substitution are measured in substitutions (fixed mutations) per base pair per generation.

What is a karyotype and how do they help scientists

Answers

Answer:Karyotyping is a laboratory procedure that allows your doctor to examine your set of chromosomes. “Karyotype” also refers to the actual collection of chromosomes being examined. Examining chromosomes through karyotyping allows your doctor to determine whether there are any abnormalities or structural problems within the chromosomes.

Explanation:

An unusual number of chromosomes, incorrectly arranged chromosomes, or malformed chromosomes can all be signs of a genetic condition. Genetic conditions vary greatly, but two examples are Down syndrome and Turner syndrome. Karyotyping can be used to detect a variety of genetic disorders.

D. Enzymes change the ideal pH for a reaction to proceed.
E. Enzymes provide a site where reactants can be brought together.

Answers

Stage One: Autolysis

The first stage of human decomposition is called autolysis, or self-digestion, and begins immediately after death. As soon as blood circulation and respiration stop, the body has no way of getting oxygen or removing wastes. Excess carbon dioxide causes an acidic environment, causing membranes in cells to rupture. The membranes release enzymes that begin eating the cells from the inside out.

Rigor mortis causes muscle stiffening. Small blisters filled with nutrient-rich fluid begin appearing on internal organs and the skin’s surface. The body will appear to have a sheen due to ruptured blisters, and the skin’s top layer will begin to loosen.

Stage Two: Bloat

Leaked enzymes from the first stage begin producing many gases. The sulfur-containing compounds that the bacteria release also cause skin discoloration. Due to the gases, the human body can double in size. In addition, insect activity can be present.

The microorganisms and bacteria produce extremely unpleasant odors called putrefaction. These odors often alert others that a person has died, and can linger long after a body has been removed.

Stage Three: Active Decay

Fluids released through orifices indicate the beginning of active decay. Organs, muscles, and skin become liquefied. When all of the body’s soft tissue decomposes, hair, bones, cartilage, and other byproducts of decay remain. The cadaver loses the most mass during this stage.

Stage Four: Skeletonization

Because the skeleton has a decomposition rate based on the loss of organic (collagen) and inorganic components, there is no set timeframe when skeletonization occurs.

Explain how diffusion is used to support the life processes of animals.

Answers

Answer:Diffusion is important to cells because it allows them to gain the useful substances they require to obtain energy and grow.

Explanation:Diffusion is important to cells because it allows them to gain the useful substances they require to obtain energy and grow, and lets them get rid of waste products. This table shows examples of substances required by cell and associated waste products.

Oxygen and glucose react to form carbon dioxide and water along with ATP (a source of energy) in the process of aerobic respiration. Therefore, oxygen and glucose must be taken up by the cell, and typically the concentration of these molecules outside the cell is greater than inside. Therefore, the overall net movement of these molecules will be down the concentration gradient, and they will move into the cell via diffusion. Similarly, the carbon dioxide produced is a waste product and moves out of the cell, again via diffusion down its concentration gradient.

How is water formed during the electron transport chain

Answers

Answer:

The electron transport chain is the third and final step of cellular respiration. At the end of the electron transport chain, the hydrogen from the coenzymes meets the oxygen which the cell has consumed and reacts with it to form water. Therefore, water is created as a byproduct of the metabolism reaction.

During which phases of the cell cycle are chromosomes composed of two chromatids?

Answers

Answer:

The correct phases are S phase, prophase, anaphase.  

Explanation:

The cell cycle, the sequence of events spanning the period from the completion of one cell division to the end of the next division, involves both the division of the cell nucleus (karyokinesis) and the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis). S phase, the next section of the interface, is marked by a dramatic increase in DNA synthesis and the synthesis of histones which are major cellular proteins bound to DNA. The cell is preparing for the start of mitosis. Chromosomes duplicate lengthwise, and each chromosome consists of two identical "chromatids."During prophase, the degree of packing of the chromatin increases, so the chromosomes become shorter and thicker and the centromeres begin to become visible. Each of the chromosomes, due to its duplication in S phase, is made up of two identical chromatids, called sister chromatids. Anaphase is the short phase, the sister chromatids begin to separate and migrate to the poles. Once the two chromatids separate, each is called a chromosome.

The correct order is -

a. 5 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 .

Explanation:

In sedimentary rocks, the bottom layer of the rock form initial and the fossils found in them would be older and the layer on top deposited the latest so the fossils found in the top layer would be the youngest.

Newer layers form or deposited on the layers of the oldest or bottom layer of the sedimentary rocks. Hence, the fossils present in the bottom layer would be the oldest fossil and newer fossils will be above them and the youngest would be top.

Thus, the correct answer is - a. 5 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 .
