Answer:
Natural Resources
Explanation:
For young men of age 20, there have been 150 rounds of DNA replication during sperm production as compared to only 23 rounds for a woman of age 20. That is a 6.5-fold greater number of cell divisions and proportionately greater opportunity for new point mutations. Yet, on average, 20-year-old men contribute only about twice as many new point mutations to their offspring as do women. How can you explain this discrepancy
Answer:
A plausible hypothesis is that deleterious germline mutations in sperm cells are removed by natural selection since sperms have to compete to fertilize the egg
Explanation:
Sperm cells need to travel through the cervix in order to reach the uterus and fertilize the egg. During this process (which is called 'fertilization'), approximately 300 million sperm cells have to compete in a race to reach an egg. During fertilization, the majority of sperm cells die off quickly because male germinal cells carry mutations that lead to abnormalities (e.g., many sperms have double heads, others no tail, etc). The sperm cells are considered to be physiologically weak because their normal functions can be easily disrupted by mutations and, simultaneously, they are under strong selective pressure to be selected during the sperm race. In consequence, deleterious germline male mutations are expected to be eliminated by natural selection, thereby sperms are selected before fertilization so only the strongest ones can compete in the race to fuse with the egg cell and thus develop one zygote.

In Osmosis, a cell becomes turgid when it:
A. expands from absorbing too much water.
B. bursts from absorbing too much water.
C. bursts from absorbing too much water.
D. contracts from absorbing too much water.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
This occurs when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.A solution were the external solution concentration is less than the internal concentration of the cell, causing water to rush into the cell.
During osmosis by absorbing too much water from outside the cell, a cell becomes turgid. The correct option is A.
What is osmosis?Osmosis is the passage of water molecules via a cell's partially permeable membrane from a solution with a large concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules.
Osmosis occurs when the concentration gradient of water reaches zero or when the water's hydrostatic pressure equals the osmotic pressure.
Endosmosis and exosmosis are the two main types of osmosis that occur when water moves across the cell membrane. When cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, endosmosis occurs, which is the movement of water into the cell.
When cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, exosmosis occurs, which is the movement of water out of the cell.
Thus, the correct option is A.

Draw a Punnett Square to show Queen Victoria and her husband Albert. Queen Victoria’s genotype will be XX^H and Albert will be XY. X^H indicates the female sex chromosome carrying the gene for hemophilia.
Explanation:
XY XX^H
XX^H XX^H XY XX^H XX^H
XY XY XY XY XX^H
all the royal families in Europe were related
that must mean 1 family ruled all of europe
The family pedigree of Queen Victoria shows a number of hemophilic descendants. Because hemophilia is recessive disorder and Queen Victoria was a carrier. X-linked recessive disease most often occurs in males because Males have only one X chromosome.
XY XX^H
XX^H XX^H XY XX^H XX^H
XY XY XY XY XX^H
Which chromosome will cause the disease?
A single recessive gene on that X chromosome will cause the disease. Females have two X chromosomes so they can act as carriers for the disease.
What is hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows the blood clotting process.Hemophilia is x-linked recessive disorder
So, Queen Victoria was a carrier.

Enzymes are _______. Enzymes are _______. made of protein permanently changed by the substrate made of protein, are catalysts, and permanently changed by the substrate made of protein and are catalysts are catalysts
Answer:
enzymes are biological catalysts.
Enzymes are catalysts. Therefore, option (4) is the correct option.
Enzymes are biological catalysts made primarily of proteins that accelerate chemical reactions within living organisms. As catalysts, enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, thus speeding up the rate of the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed themselves. Enzymes achieve this by binding to specific reactant molecules, forming enzyme-substrate complexes, which stabilize the transition state and facilitate the breaking and formation of chemical bonds during the reaction.
Once the reaction is complete, the products are released from the enzyme, and the enzyme remains unchanged, ready to catalyze further reactions. Enzymes play a crucial role in metabolism, cellular signaling, and many other physiological processes, enabling life to function effectively. Therefore, option (4) is the correct option.

Explanation:
A diagram shows a potato producing new tubers. Buds on the parent plant grow into stems that grow downwards called stolons. The end of each stolon develop in to new tuber.
1) Give two pieces of evidence which show that this is an asexual method of reproduction.
2) Explain why all the new tubers will be genetically identical.
Answer/Explanation:
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which new organisms that are identical are formed form a parent without the fusion of male and female gametes and do not require fertilization. Offspring formed are usually identical genetically, and are referred to as clones of the parent. Usually, only one parent is involved.
1. Two pieces of evidence that shows the potato growing is an asexual method of reproduction are:
i. Only one parent is involved
ii. The new tubers are identical (clones of the parent)
2. Reasons Why the new tubers will be genetically identical:
i. They grow from 1 parent by asexual reproduction
ii. No mixing of male and female gametes, so no exchange of genes takes place
A triplet of bases in a template strand of DNA is GAT. What would be the corresponding codon for mRNA?
СТА
CUA
CTU
CUA (This one is wrong)
I don't know why there are two CUAs, but if someone could please help. This is confusing for me. Please explain & no false answers. Thanks much in advance!
Answer:
CUA
Explanation:
Chances are your teacher accidentally put the same option twice and marked one of em incorrect. You infact selected the correct answer because CUA is correct.
DNA has 4 bases: ATGC (Apples on Trees = A - T, & Cows eat Grass = C-G)
RNA has 4 bases: AUGC (RNA lacks the base T so A binds with U instead).
So for template strand GAT, the mRNA made from this codon has complimentary pairing based on RNA so G binds with C, A binds with U, and T binds with A.
A triplet of bases in a template strand of DNA is GAT, the corresponding codon for mRNA - CTU
DNA is a two-stranded molecule. Each strand is a polynucleotide composed of A (adenosine), T (thymidine), C (cytidine), and G (guanosine) in a sequence.
Adenine always bonds with thymine, and guanine only bonds with cytosine. In RNA however, uracil is substituted for thymine instead. So, in transcription, adenine turns into thymine, and guanine turns into cytosine, and vice-versa.
Thus, A triplet of bases in a template strand of DNA is GAT, the corresponding codon for mRNA - CTU

The rapid diversification of species seen in the fossil record followed by long periods of stasis is part of the ________ model of evolution.
Answer:
punctuated equilibrium
Explanation:
According to the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution, the process of evolution involves a sudden spontaneous burst in the diversity of species (speciation).
This period is now followed by a long period in which the there is no change in the species. This period is known as the period of stasis or equilibrium.
Hence, the rapid diversification of species seen in the fossil record followed by long periods of stasis is typical of the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution.

Which function is performed by both goblet cells and lacrimal glands?
digestion
stress regulation
protection
growth regulation
Answer:
protection
Explanation:
The correct answer would be protection.
Goblet cells are special cells found in the epithelial layers of small and large intestines and some other organs such as those associated with the respiratory tracts. They secrete mucin and create a protective mucous layer in the walls of the intestines.
Lacrimal glands on the other hand are exocrine glands found in the eyes. They secrete the watery component of the eyes which is made up of water, electrolytes, and protein. The fluid produced by the glands protects the eyes from drying out.
Hence, both goblet cells and lacrimal glands serve protective functions.
