Explanation:

The post bottleneck population exhibits less genetic variation than the pre bottleneck population.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

To be precise the bottle neck population is a stage where a particular species undergo dramatic reduction in their population size. It may be due to natural or human activity. Whatever reason might be there are some species that fight to thrive to exist among all odds.  

Hence they undergo certain genetic variation to withstand the declining rate. Low genetic variation is only exhibited in this population so that they do not become a prey for the deleterious effect caused in the environmental changes.

Answer:

If a neurotransmitter attaches to a ligand-gated channel and creates a potential that causes the inside of the excitable cell membrane to become less negative, and this potential travels only a short distance before dying out, it is considered to be a Graded or local potential

Explanation:

Graded potentials, also known as local or generator, are generated by an excitatory neurotranmitter, usually a ligan gated channel, they occur at a localized place on the cell and their potentials are smaller (from 1-50mV) and its magnitude depends on the strength of the stimulus.

Answer:

The correct answers are

Question a) "50%".

Question b) "66%".

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is caused by a dominant allele, which means that a person with a "A" allele will develop this condition. In this case, all the people with Achondroplasia are heterozygotes "Aa" because the dominant genotype "AA" causes prenatal death. If a person with achondroplasia "Aa" mates with a person of average height "aa", the expected percentage of children with average height will be 50%, since there are 50% of chances of having "aa" children and 50% chances of having "Aa" children. Also, If two persons with achondroplasia have children ("Aa" x "Aa") , the expected percentage of children with achondroplasia will be 66%. The probability of having children with the "Aa" genotype is 50%, however since the "AA" genotype causes prenatal death, this genotype is not considered in the percentage.

In mating scenarios involving individuals with achondroplasia, the expected percentage of average-height children varies. A pairing with an average-height individual could yield 50% average-height children, while a pairing between two achondroplasia-affected individuals could yield 25% average-height children (with another 25% unfortunately dying in utero due to homozygous dominance).

Achondroplasia is indeed a form of dwarfism caused by a dominant allele. As you mentioned, a homozygous dominant genotype can lead to prenatal death. Those with this condition are hence heterozygous (Dd), where 'D' represents the dominant allele for achondroplasia and 'd' the recessive allele for average height.

a) If a person with achondroplasia (Dd) mates with a person of average height (dd), the potential genotypes of their offspring would be Dd and dd. This means 50% of their children would be expected to exhibit achondroplasia, and 50% would be of average height.

b) If two persons with achondroplasia (Dd) have children, the potential offspring genotypes would be DD, Dd, and dd. As homozygous dominance (DD) results in prenatal death, and d represents the recessive allele for average height, we'd expect 25% of their children to die in utero (DD), 25% to be of average height (dd), and 50% to have achondroplasia (Dd).

Answer:

Norepinephrine

Explanation:

Nerve cells and circulating hormones are the one responsible for vasoconstriction of the vessel walls, as they do not enter the tunica media of the blood vessel, the nerves do not synapse directly on the smooth muscle cells. Instead, they release the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, which diffuses into the media and acts on the nearby smooth muscle cells, which result in contraction of the entire muscle cell layer and thus reducing the radius of the vessel lumen.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.  

Explanation:

Seed germination is the process from which a plant grows from the seed to become a plant by various events that takes place during this process. The most typical series of events that takes place in seed germination is: Water imbibition that is the process that involves a special type of diffusion of water colloid leads to the increase in the volume of the seed.

The imbibition is followed by the seed coat splits so the root can move after elongation and in the last, the shoot cells divide and elongate.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

The typical order of events in seed germination is water imbibition, followed by the splitting of the seed coat, then the division and elongation of root cells, and finally the division and elongation of shoot cells. So the correct option is a.

Seed germination begins with the process of water imbibition, where the seed absorbs water and swells, leading to the splitting of the seed coat. Following this, the root cells divide and elongate, forming the primary root or radicle. This root growth involves a zone of cell division, elongation, and maturation. The emergence of the radicle is critical as it establishes the root system that will anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients. Once this early root development has occurred, and the seed coat has split, the shoot cells begin to divide and elongate. The shoot, which comprises the stem and leaves, will grow upward towards the light, completing the process of seed germination.

The correct sequence of events for most typical seed germination is therefore option (a): water imbibition ® seed coat splits ® root cells divide and elongate ® shoot cells divide and elongate. This order correctly reflects the embryonic development from absorption of water to the splitting of the seed coat and subsequent growth of root and shoot systems.

Answer:

b) Proteins: decrease

Explanation:

Out of all the biomolecules required for the survival of an organism, proteins and nucleic acids are the ones containing Nitrogen. In nucleic acids, the building blocks of DNA, nitrogen is present in the nitrogenous bases, which are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil. In the proteins, the amino acids contain the amine group or -NH₂ which forms the peptide bond   (-NH-CO-) with a carboxylic group or -COOH of the next amino acid. As the culture of Spirogyra is being maintained, there would be no replication of DNA, which would have required nitrogen to synthesize the new DNA strand. But, to synthesize proteins, the RNA synthesis would require to happen which would also require nitrogen. Moreover, the formation of proteins after the translation of the mRNA would have also required Nitrogen. Thus, protein level in the cells would decrease.

The culture of Spirogyra in water solution lacking nitrogen will remain the same in carbohydrate and lipid production, but will decrease in protein and nucleic acid production due to the absence of nitrogen, an essential element in their synthesis.

The culture of Spirogyra, an autotrophic alga, is being maintained in a water solution that contains dissolved carbon dioxide and a source of phosphates but is devoid of nitrogen compounds. This particular set of nutrients affects the Spirogyra's ability to produce some types of organic molecules. Firstly, the production of carbohydrates is likely to remain the same, as Spirogyra uses carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates. Secondly, the protein level would decrease as nitrogen is essential for their synthesis. Without a source of nitrogen, Spirogyra cannot produce amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Thirdly, the level of lipids would remain the same since the synthesis of lipids mainly requires carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and does not rely heavily on nitrogen. Lastly, without nitrogen, the synthesis of nucleic acids, which include DNA and RNA, would decrease due to the presence of nitrogen in their nitrogenous bases.

Answer: Transcription initiation

Explanation:

In genetics, a promoter is a region of DNA that leads to initiation of transcription of a particular gene. Promoters are located near the transcription start sites of genes, upstream on the DNA (towards the 5' region of the sense strand).

Depending on the location and the nature of the genetic defect, ( for example if the sequence TTGACA has been lost), a mutation in the promoter region of a gene may disrupt the normal processes of gene activation by disturbing the ordered recruitment of TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS (TFs) at the promoter.

A plant developed a mineral deficiency after being treated with a fungicide.

The most probable cause of deficiency is that mineral receptor proteins in the plant membrane were not functioning.

Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).

Find out more information about "Plant's mineral" here:

brainly.com/question/912903

The fungicide likely caused the mineral deficiency by damaging the helpful microbes in the soil that are integral for nutrient absorption by the plant's root system.

The most probable cause of the mineral deficiency in the plant after being treated with fungicide is the destruction of symbiotic microbiomes in the soil, specifically in the root system of the plant. These microbiomes often play critical roles in nutrient cycling and availability to plants, aiding in the absorption of essential minerals. The fungicide, while targeting harmful fungi, may have inadvertently damaged these beneficial microbiomes, disrupting the nutrient uptake of the plant and leading to a mineral deficiency.

For instance, this is seen in diseases like wheat take-all which is caused by a fungus that attacks plant roots and disrupts water and nutrient channels. The soil's microbiome plays a direct role in the plant's immunity to such diseases. If a fungicide disrupts this, it can lead to the plant lacking certain minerals as the absorption mechanisms are affected.

A silver fur fox breeder found a platinum fur fox on his farm. When crossing this platinum fox with its silver foxes the offspring was always 1/2 platinum + 1/2 silver. When crossing platinum foxes with each other, get platinum and silver foxes in proportions 2/3 and 1/3 respectively. Indicates how many alleles of the gene that controls hair color are in the fox breeder's farm, their relationships and the genotypes of individuals.

As from the cross between platinum foxes both platinum and silver foxes are found we can deduce that the silver character is recessive (it is present in platinum foxes, but it does not manifest itself). The fact that the crossing between silver foxes produces a balanced offspring of platinum and silver foxes specifically tells us that platinum foxes are always heterozygous. This hybrid character of the platinum foxes would also explain why by crossing them with each other the ratio of 2: 3 instead of 3: 1 is obtained, the characteristic proportion obtained from the cross between heterozygous individuals for a character, since they are not counted homozygous individuals in the offspring (probably the gene responsible for platinum character is lethal in homozygosis).

If all black puppies result in a mix between black and brown dog, this means that black is dominant over brown. Lets reflect B's black and b's gray.

1/2 is black and 1/2 is brown in one form of cross, i.e. 1 black:1 brown.

This type of phenotypic ratio can be found only when the black parent is heterozygous Bb and the brown parent is homozygous Bbx bb Progeny: bb (black) and bb (red) in a ratio of 1:1 Another type of 3/4 progeny is black and 1/4 white. This 3:1 ratio is typical of a cross that is monohybrid.

All parents are heterozgyous for a particular gene in the monohybrid cross, but it is not probable because the brown is a recessive trait and the brown parent can not be heterozygous.A new yellow phenotype is also produced in the offspring. This means that the 2nd gene affects the color of the coat

At least two genes (E and B alleles) control the coat colors in Labrador Retrievers. Dogs with the ee genotype will be yellow, B_E_ dogs will be black, and bbE_ dogs will be chocolate (brown). This genetic interplay of the two genes is an example of epistasis.

The coat colors in Labrador Retrievers are controlled by at least two genes, as evident from the combinations of black, brown (chocolate), and yellow puppies that can occur. The two essential genes, E and B alleles, determine coat color depending on what combination of these genes a dog has.

If a lab has the ee genotype, regardless of other genes, the dog will be yellow. Dogs with the B_E_ genotype will be black labs, while bbE_ dogs will be chocolate (brown) labs. This scenario represents an example of epistasis, where one gene influences the expression of another gene. With reference to Mendelian inheritance, you could think of this like Punnett squares, which map genetic combinations, predicting the possible results of breeding experiments.

Corticosteroids like cortisone can easily pass through the skin's protective outer layer, the epidermis, due to their small, lipid-soluble structure. These substances access the deeper layer, the dermis, where they exert their intended effects, e.g., reducing inflammation.

The ability of cortisone, a glucocorticoid steroid, to move through the epidermis and reach the dermis relies on the unique structure and function of the skin's layers. The epidermis, despite being an effective barrier, can be traversed by small, lipid-soluble molecules like cortisone.

The outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum, is composed of dead skin cells that are rich in a fibrous protein known as keratin. Though this layer is tough and waterproof, small lipid-soluble substances can pass through. Beneath this lies a thinner layer called the dermis, where cortisone acts to inhibit inflammatory responses.

Once cortisone reaches the dermis, it actions on immune cells residing there. Thus, cortisone's ability to easily move through the epidermis, despite its barrier properties, is crucial for its roles in managing inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema.

Answer:

receptor

Explanation:

Ligands are chemicals that exert their effects when they bind specifically to plasma membrane receptors. Some of the examples of ligands are neurotransmitters and the hormones produced by endocrine glands. Each ligand has specific receptors on the target cells. Some ligands have intracellular receptors.

Binding of a ligand to a receptor triggers structural changes in the receptor which in turn alters the cell proteins to produce the desired effect. For example, insulin is a hormone that promotes the uptake of glucose from the blood by liver and muscle cells. For the purpose, it binds to the plasma membrane receptors of these cells.

Ligands are signaling molecules that produce a response in a cell when they bind to specific receptors within the cell. The cells react differently depending on their genes and the specific signaling components attached to either the ligand or receptor. This communication mechanism affects a variety of cellular functions.

A ligand produces a response in a cell if it finds the right kind of receptor. Ligands are molecules, such as small proteins or ions like calcium, that are produced by signaling cells. They act as signaling molecules and travel to target cells to coordinate responses. The ligands interact with receptors in the target cells, these interactions trigger various responses within the cells, depending on the specific signaling components attached to either the ligand or receptor.

There are also variations in how cells respond to the same ligand due of different gene structures. Cells with different genes produce different receptors. So, the same ligand can activate different responses in each cell by binding to these different receptors. An example of this is seen in small, water-soluble molecules that can cause the cells to turn off transcription of a gene when they bind to a receptor within the cell.

Chemical signaling is an essential part of cell communication, dictating the cell's behavior in response to its environment. Depending on the cell type and internal and external conditions, signal transduction pathways could influence a variety of cellular functions, from gene expression to cell division and growth.

Answer: An addition mutation results in an added base in the DNA sequence. 

Explanation:

The false statement about mutations is: Addition and deletion mutations disrupt the primary structure of proteins.

In reality, addition and deletion mutations can certainly disrupt the primary structure of proteins. These types of mutations can shift the reading frame of the DNA sequence, resulting in a change in the grouping of codons during translation.

This alteration can lead to a frameshift mutation, where the subsequent amino acids in the protein sequence are changed, often resulting in a nonfunctional or severely impaired protein. Thus, the statement that addition and deletion mutations do not disrupt the primary structure of proteins is incorrect.

The correct question related to eukaryotic origins is 'If chloramphenicol inhibits prokaryotic ribosomes, should it not also inhibit mitochondrial ribosomes?' This is because mitochondria have 70S ribosomes similar to prokaryotic ribosomes, stemming from the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria.

Explanation:

The observation that chloramphenicol targets prokaryotic (70-S) ribosomes but not eukaryotic (80-S) ribosomes, leads to the question related to eukaryotic origins. The correct question that stems from this observation and an understanding of eukaryotic origins is:

C) If chloramphenicol inhibits prokaryotic ribosomes, should it not also inhibit mitochondrial ribosomes?

This question is rooted in the understanding that mitochondria, an organelle within eukaryotic cells, contain ribosomes that are very similar to prokaryotic ribosomes. Indeed, mitochondria have 70-S ribosomes, which chloramphenicol can inhibit, just as it does bacterial ribosomes. This is due to the evolutionary origin of mitochondria, where it is thought that an ancestral eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic microorganism, which then became an endosymbiont, eventually evolving into today's mitochondria.

Chloramphenicol acts on the 50-S subunit of the ribosome, preventing the formation of peptide bonds during protein synthesis. This is how it exerts its antibiotic effect, by stopping the growth of the bacterial protein chain. However, the similarity in ribosome structure between prokaryotes and mitochondrial ribosomes means that chloramphenicol can also affect protein synthesis within mitochondria, leading to side effects such as reversible suppression of blood cell production and, in some cases, irreversible aplastic anemia.

The correct answer is c. bowmans capsule

Explanation:

The bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped dilation which surrounds the glomerulus( tuft of capillaries). Bowman's capsule makes the first part of the nephron. Water and other solutes pass from the blood moving through the glomerulus into the Bowmans capsule due to glomerular blood pressure.

Then this filtrate passes through other part of nephron like PCT, Henle loop, DCT and collecting duct where secretion and absorption of substance and water takes place to make urine.  

So Bowman's capsule just collects filtrate from the glomerulus and passes it to PCT, therefore, such modification does not occur in Bowman's capsule.

In the stretch reflex, sensory neurons transmit afferent impulses to the CNS, increase impulse frequency when muscle spindles are activated, and can transmit signals via interneurons.

The characteristics of sensory neurons in the stretch reflex have several key features. These neurons do not typically transmit efferent impulses toward antagonist muscles; instead, they carry afferent impulses toward the spinal cord or central nervous system (CNS). When a muscle spindle is activated by a stretch, these sensory neurons increase their firing rate, transmitting impulses at a higher frequency. Additionally, these neurons can transmit activating impulses via interneurons as part of the reflex arc.

Explanation:

Gram staining is the technique developed by the Hans Christian Gram which helps differentiate the bacteria was developed in 1884.

The color of the gram stain is violet due to the presence of the crystal violet so the bacteria which will appear violet will be called gram-positive and the bacteria which will appear pinkish will be called gram-negative.

The difference in the color of the bacteria lies in the fact that the gram-positive bacteria possess peptidoglycan layers not covered with outer lipids whereas the gram-negative bacteria possess peptidoglycan layers covered with lipid layer.

The presence of many peptidoglycan layers in the gram-positive bacteria help retain the crystal violet stain and thus, option-D is the correct answer.
