The chances of a species going extinct are increased when its geographic range is _____________, its local population size is ______________, and its habitat tolerance is _______________.
Answer:
The correct answers are - "restricted", "small" and "narrow" in the order of blanks.
Explanation:
Extinct animals or species are the species that are no longer present on the earth or in other words no longer living. It includes all different types and times of animals and species such as gigantic prehistoric species like dinosaurs and mammoth or very modern animals or species like Dodo.
The chances of being extinct can be increased by all different reasons and conditions, the restricted geological range is one of them here geological range refers to the geological area or boundary for a spatial species that it does not occur outside of this boundary.
Another condition is a smaller local population size which decreases the probability of survival of a particular species. Habitat tolerance is another essential condition which describes the tolerance the conditions of a particular area are tolerable for a species or not.
Thus, the correct answers are - "restricted", "small" and "narrow" in the order of blanks.
Alon claimed that a tincture of a local herb was effective in lowering anxiety and was planning to invest in the product. As evidence of his claim, Alon, who had anxiety over his financial situation, said that he felt much better after the treatment, was much more relaxed, and no longer worried about his finances. What methodological flaws BEST characterizes Alon's investigation?
Answer:
Not using control cases and testing his hypothesis only on one pacient, himself. Not creating or using a method that allowed him to measure the results.
Explanation:
During the investigation Alon had a few methodological flaws. First of all, he based a hypothesis over only one case, his own. He should have tested the product on different pacients under similar circumstances, the more the merrier. Moreover, it is not recommended that the investigator tests the hypothesis on himself, since he can lose perspective.
Second of all, he did not use control cases. This means he should have given placebo pills (pills with no medical effect at all) to a group of pacients without them knowing. Doing this helps eliminating the psicologycal factor of the equation, since pacients have proven to get better, in some cases, just because they thought the medicine would heal them, and not because of the drug itself.
Also, he came to a conclusion based on how anxious and worried he felt after the treatment, but expresses the results with words such as "much more". In this case he should have created and/or used a method to measure the change in anxiety and how much the pacient worried. For example, before starting the test he could have rated his anxiety level from 1 to 10, and then, done the same thing during and after the treatment was over. By doing this he creates data that can be numerically processed and makes the human subjectivity factor smaller.
A spider plant sends out runners that have buds. When planted, the bud grows into a mature plant. The resulting plant has one parent and is genetically ___________ to the parent(s).
different
similar
identical
A spider plant sends out runners that have buds. When planted, the bud grows into a mature plant. The resulting plant has one parent and is genetically identical to the parent.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Reproduction is of two types one is sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. The asexual reproduction mostly involves only one parent and therefore the off spring that is born is genetically identical with the parent.
whereas in sexual reproduction that involves 2 parents the off spring born contains a genetic makeup that is a combination of 2 parents and thereby not genetically identical.
Using broad-spectrum weed killers on weeds that are competing with crops for sunlight, water, and nutrients presents a difficulty: how to keep the crop from being killed along with the weeds. For at least some food crops, specially treated seed that produces plants resistant to weed killers is under development. This resistance wears off as the plants mature. Therefore, the special seed treatment will be especially useful for plants that _____________ .Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?(A) produce their crop over an extended period of time, as summer squash does.(B) produce large seeds that are easy to treat individually, as corn and beans do.(C) provide, as they approach maturity, shade dense enough to keep weeds from growing.(D) are typically grown in large tracts devoted to a single crop.(E) are cultivated specifically for the seed they produce rather than for their leaves or roots.
Answer:
(C) provide, as they approach maturity, shade dense enough to keep weeds from growing.
Explanation:
According to the given information, the treated seeds produce the plants with resistance to weed killers. The young plants from these seeds are protected against the weed killers due to the resistance in them.
If these plants mature into the ones with a prominent canopy so as to produce dense shade around them, the weeds would not grow around these plants as sunlight is not available to support their growth and development.
Therefore, there would not be any need to use the weed killers for these mature plants as they themselves produce a micro-environment to prevent the growth of weeds around them.
A recombinant plasmid created during a recombinant DNA experiment:
A.consists only of extra-chromosomal bacterial DNA.
B.carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest.
C.is used in whole organism cloning.
D.can be used to insert bacterial genes into a human.
E.functions to remove specific genes from a plant.
Answer:
B.carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest.
Explanation:
Plasmids are the low molecular weight extrachromosomal DNA molecules that are able to replicate themselves independent of chromosomal DNA due to the presence of "ori" (origin of replication).
Plasmids serve as vectors in recombinant DNA technology as some of their genes can be replaced with the gene of interest to create recombinant plasmids.
The restriction enzymes that create the sticky ends and DNA ligases facilitate the insertion of the foreign gene into the plasmids.
The host cells are made competent to take up the recombinant plasmids. Once inside the host cell, the recombinant plasmids replicate themselves and express the gene of interest that they carry.
A recombinant plasmid created during a recombinant DNA experiment is a plasmid that carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest. It is introduced into a bacterial host where it replicates and produces the desired protein.
Explanation:A recombinant plasmid created during a recombinant DNA experiment is a plasmid (also called a vector) that carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest. It is created artificially by inserting foreign DNA into a plasmid, which is a small circular DNA molecule that replicates independently of the chromosomal DNA in bacteria. This recombinant plasmid is then introduced into a bacterial host for replication, allowing for the production of the desired protein.

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte tissue red. If the researcher exposes pollen grains to both stains, and then rinses away the excess stain, what should occur?
A) The pollen grains will be pure red.
B) The pollen grains will be pure blue.
C) The pollen grains will have red interiors and blue exteriors.
D) The pollen grains will have blue interiors and red exteriors.
E) Insofar as the pollen grains are independent of the plant that produced them, they will not absorb either stain.2
Answer:
A) The pollen grains will be pure red.
Explanation:
Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).
In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte). When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.
Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.
Pollen grains will have red interiors and blue exteriors after being exposed to two stains that differentiate sporophyte tissue (blue) and gametophyte tissue (red).
C is correct
Explanation:When a researcher exposes pollen grains to two different stains where one stains sporophyte tissue blue and the other stains gametophyte tissue red, and then rinses away the excess stain, the observed outcome should be that the pollen grains will have red interiors and blue exteriors.
This is because pollen grains are part of the gametophyte generation of the plant lifecycle, thus the interior containing the generative cell which is responsible for the next generation of gametes will stain red. However, pollen grains are also contained within the larger sporophyte structure of the seed plant, where the surrounding tissues are part of the sporophyte generation and will thus stain blue.
The most abundant class of phospholipid in animal cell membranes, with a hydrophobic tail composed of two fatty acyl chains, esterified to the two hydroxyl groups in glycerol phosphate and a polar head group attached to the phosphate group, is called: Phosphoglyceride. Cholesterol. Glycolipid. Liposome. Phosphoglyceride and liposome.
Answer:
Phosphoglyceride.
Explanation:
The cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of lipid bilayer and proteins may be inserted or spans the membrane bilayer. The carbohydrate moieties are also present in association with lipids and proteins.
The phosphoglycerides are the most class of phospholipid present in plasma membrane. The phosphoglycerides consists of lipid bilayer linked with the hydroxyl group and the phosphate group is attached with the polar head group. The phosphate group attaches with the third carbon atom of the glycerol.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
Membrane phospholipids have hydrophobic heads that face the center of the membrane and
a. have hydrophilic tails that face outward and are exposed to water.
b. are able to drift about in the plasma membrane.
c. remain fluid because they are tightly packed against one another.
d. are shielded from water.
Answer: Option B. are able to drift about in the plasma membrane.
Explanation:
Membrane phospholipid are having a amphiphilic structure which contains a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group and two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" that are connected to a glycerol molecule.
In contact with water, membrane phospholipid hydrophobic tail avoid interaction with water molecules and allow to drift about in the plasma membrane. the hydrophilic heads line up against each other and forms lipid bi-layer that faces towards water.
The movement of membrane phospholipid forms the fluid mosaic model,in which lipid molecules act as solvent and proteins embedded in it. This allows the proteins and lipid to move across plasma membrane.
Hence, The structural property of membrane phospholipid makes them able to drift about in the plasma membrane
Describe how water is important to plants in terms of hydrolysis and dehydration
Water is crucial for plants as it is involved in dehydration synthesis, where it is a byproduct, and hydrolysis, where it breaks bonds between molecules.
Dehydration synthesis involves the formation of new bonds between molecules and requires energy, creating water as a byproduct. Conversely, hydrolysis reactions use water to break bonds between molecules, releasing energy in the process.
During photosynthesis, water molecules are split in a process known as photolysis. This step is critical as it generates the hydrogen necessary for the synthesis of glucose, which plants use as an energy source. Meanwhile, the oxygen produced during photolysis is released into the atmosphere, contributing to the oxygen we breathe.
Moreover, water is essential in maintaining plant turgor, which gives the plant structure and enables growth. Water also serves as a medium for transporting vital minerals and nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, further demonstrating its key role in plant physiology. Lastly, through the process of transpiration, excess water vapor is released, which not only aids in nutrient transport but also helps to regulate temperature within the plant.

Answer:
Fingerprints are left behind due to the sweat on our fingertips as well as sebum that sticks to or fingertips from our face and hair.
Explanation:
The ridges along the finger tips contain pores connecting to sweat glands. The sweat gland which is found in greater number in hands and feet is the eccrine gland. The sweat contains water in major amount and also contains lipids. Sebaceous glands on our face and hair secrete sebum.
When we touch our face and hair sebum sticks to the fingertips and the oily residue made by sweat and sebum coats our fingers. It is the residue and not just sebum on our fingertips that leaves a fingerprint when we touch a surface.

Interactions between the herbaceous plant Lithophragma parviflorum (also known as the woodland star) and the moth Greya politella serve as a good example of mosaic coevolution in nature. The moth lays its eggs into developing flowers of the woodland star, but the plant pays a cost for this because moth larvae eat some of the woodland star's seeds. In addition, this moth is the sole pollinator of the woodland star's flowers in some geographic locations, while in other locations, the woodland star has additional pollinators. Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding mosaic coevolution in this example?
a. The moth Greya politella is completely reliant on the woodland star as its host, but the woodland star is not always reliant on the moth as its sole pollinator.
b. In all studied locations, the woodland star rarely aborted flower capsules that contained moth eggs, compared to capsules that had no moth eggs
c. In populations where alternative pollinators were present, the woodland star selectively aborted flower capsules that contained moth eggs because the costs of having the moth pollinator outweighed the benefits, and selection favored an antagonistic response
d. In cases where the moth was the sole pollinator for the plant, the woodland star rarely aborted flower capsules that contained moth eggs because the benefits of having the moth pollinator outweighed the costs, and selection favored mutualism
Answer:
b. In all studied locations, the woodland star rarely aborted flower capsules that contained moth eggs, compared to capsules that had no moth eggs
Explanation:
According to the given information, the moth is the sole pollinator of the woodland star in some locations while the same plant species have alternative pollinators. This means that the plant is not completely dependent on the moth species while the moth is completely dependent on the woodland star as its host.
In the presence of alternative pollinators, the woodland star plants have evolved the mechanisms to abort the flower capsule having the eggs of the moth. This is because the larvae of moth adversely affect its host by feeding on the seeds. So, when the alternative pollinators are available, the plant would not allow the eggs of the moth to develop into the harmful larvae.
On the other hand, in the regions where the given moth species is the only pollinator of woodland star flowers, the plant bears the cost of pollination by not aborting the flower capsules with the eggs of the pollinator.
Option (b) is NOT true about mosaic coevolution in the example provided; it inaccurately claims woodland stars rarely abort flower capsules with moth eggs in all studied locations, which contradicts the variable responses expected in mosaic coevolution based on alternative pollinators' presence.
The statement that is NOT true regarding mosaic coevolution in the example of the interaction between the herbaceous plant Lithophragma parviflorum (woodland star) and the moth Greya politella is option (b). This statement suggests that woodland stars rarely aborted flower capsules that contained moth eggs compared to capsules without moth eggs in all studied locations, which contradicts the concept of mosaic coevolution where the plant's response to the moth's egg-laying would vary depending on the presence or absence of other pollinators. In the scenario described, the woodland star has developed different responses in populations where there are alternative pollinators compared to where the moth is the sole pollinator.
In populations with alternative pollinators, the woodland star showed a tendency to selectively abort flower capsules with moth eggs, as explained in option (c). Here the costs of the relationship with the moth (the moth larvae eating the seeds) outweighed the benefits (pollination), leading to a more antagonistic interaction. Conversely, in populations where the moth was the sole pollinator, option (d) explains that the woodland star rarely aborted capsules with moth eggs, emphasizing a mutualistic relationship where the benefits of pollination outweigh the costs of seed predation.
Moths as pollinators, like the corn earworm moth and the Gaura plant, generally have a symbiotic relationship where both the moth and the plant benefit. However, the intricacies of coevolution can lead to variations in these relationships across different environments, leading to what is known as mosaic coevolution, as observed in the woodland star and the Greya politella moth.

What is the role of mRNA during translation? A. It links the correct amino acids together. B. It provides the code for the protein. C. It breaks apart the tRNA molecules. D. It translates from amino acids to nucleic acids.
Answer:
B. It provides the code for the protein
Explanation:
Remember that mRNA stands for Messenger RNA.
The role of mRNA during translation is it provides the code for the protein. (Option B).
What happens during translation?During translation, the role of mRNA (messenger RNA) is to provide the genetic code that determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
The genetic code is carried in the form of codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences on the mRNA molecule. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or a termination signal.
The ribosomes, the molecular machines responsible for protein synthesis, read the mRNA sequence and use it as a template to assemble the correct sequence of amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain.
This process continues until a stop codon is reached, signaling the termination of protein synthesis.
So option B is the correct answer.

Sickle cell anemia
Explanation:
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation that results in the production of abnormal hemoglobin. Under low-oxygen conditions, the abnormal beta chains link together and form stiff rods that alter the shape of the RBCs.
a) Sickle cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation that results in the production of abnormal hemoglobin. Under low-oxygen conditions, the abnormal beta chains link together and form stiff rods that alter the shape of the RBCs.. This causes blockages and various health issues. Thalassemia, polycythemia, and leukopenia are different blood disorders.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation that results in the production of abnormal hemoglobin. This mutation occurs in the hemoglobin-beta gene on chromosome 11. The abnormal hemoglobin, referred to as hemoglobin S, causes red blood cells (RBCs) to change shape under low-oxygen conditions, forming stiff rods inside the RBCs. This deformation makes the cells assume a sickle shape, leading to blockages in blood vessels and resulting in various health complications.
Thalassemia: A genetic disorder caused by abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to reduced oxygen transport but without changing the shape of RBCs. Polycythemia: A condition characterized by an increased number of RBCs, which can lead to thicker blood and potentially cause clotting issues.Leukopenia: A decrease in the number of white blood cells (WBCs), which weakens the immune system and increases infection risk.complete question:
