Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In the mid-1800s, over-hunting of Northern Elephant Seals reduced their population size to fewer than 40 individuals. However, the population has since rebounded to over 100,000 animals. The population went through a _bottle neck event (genetic drift)_, which makes it more susceptible to _developing a genetic disease_.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change that occurs in the allelic frequency of a population through generations. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time. Eventually, some alleles get lost, while some others might set. Genetic drift affects a population and reduces its size dramatically due to a disaster or pressure-bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect- . The bottleneck effect most likely affects smaller populations.  

In the exposed example, extensive hunting acted as a pressure that reduced the number of Northern elephant seals to fewer than 100. This population experienced one or many generations of small size since these animals were affected by hunting. As the survivors did not have the whole genetic pool of the original population, the population size might have recovered to a current population size of 100,000 individuals, but the genetic pool might have not. When the small population increases in size, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, there is a reduced genetic variability, with a possibility of developing a peculiar allelic component. If the survivors in the population carried or developed a mutation, probably this mutation passed from generation to generation. It will involve more individuals each time and increase the probability of developing a genetic disease.

3. The human body has devised an excellent method to keep the body pH under control. a. What principle underlies the constant pH of human blood, and how does the blood achieve this

Answers


The normal blood pH for adult humans is 7.40, and this pH value is vigorously defended at normal body temperature

Acid base Homeostasis is the method by which body keeps a constant ph
pH is kept under check via different systems
1. Chemical system :bicarbonate buffer system(explained below )
Respiratory component :
2. Respiratory Component: The second line of dense is rapid consisting of the control the carbonic acid concentration in the ECF by changing the rate and depth of breathing by hyperventilation or hypoventilation. This blows off or retains carbon dioxide (and thus carbonic acid) in the blood plasma as required

3.Metabolic component : third line of defense is slow, best measured by the base excess,eand mostly depends on the renal system which can add or remove bicarbonate ions to or from the ECF.Bicarbonate ions are derived from metabolic carbon dioxide which is enzymatically converted to carbonic acid in the renal tubular cells.There, carbonic acid spontaneously dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.When the pH in the ECF falls, hydrogen ions are excreted into urine, while bicarbonate ions are secreted into blood plasma, causing the plasma pH to rise.The converse happens if the pH in the ECF tends to rise: bicarbonate ions are then excreted into the urine and hydrogen ions into the blood plasma.




Buffers usually consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base; this enables them to readily absorb excess H+ or OH–, keeping the system’s pH within a narrow range.

Maintaining a constant blood pH is critical to a person’s well-being. The buffer that maintains the pH of human blood involves carbonic acid (H2CO3), bicarbonate ion (HCO3–), and carbon dioxide (CO2). When bicarbonate ions combine with free hydrogen ions and become carbonic acid, hydrogen ions are removed, moderating pH changes. Similarly, excess carbonic acid can be converted into carbon dioxide gas and exhaled through the lungs; this prevents too many free hydrogen ions from building up in the blood and dangerously reducing its pH; likewise, if too much OH– is introduced into the system, carbonic acid will combine with it to create bicarbonate, lowering the pH.
Example: Antacids, which combat excess stomach acid, are another example of buffers.

Answers

Explanation:

First, think about which base pairs arise in complementary strands of DNA:

DNA → DNA

adenine → thymine (A → T)

thymine → adenine (T → A)

cytosine → guanine (C → G)

guanine → cytosine (G → C)

However, mRNA does not consist of the same four bases as DNA. While DNA has the ATCG nitrogenous bases, RNA replaces thymine with uracil, making its bases AUCG.

So, that means that whenever DNA has adenine, instead of pairing this with thymine, RNA will use uracil instead.

DNA → RNA

adenine → uracil (A → U)

thymine → adenine (T → A)

cytosine → guanine (C → G)

guanine → cytosine (G → C)

Giving us the corresponding sequence:

Answers

Answer:

The temperature and rainfall change at different times of the year.

Explanation:

A temperate climate region is a territory in which the climate cannot be classified as completely hot or cold, nor rainy or dry, but these characteristics are variable according to the season of the year in which it is found. Thus, these climates do not have extreme heat or cold temperatures, but rather moderate climatic conditions. An example of a region with a temperate climate is the Mediterranean region, the State of Georgia in the USA or Uruguay.

Explain why serine proteases do not catalyze hydrolysis if the amino acid at the hydrolysis site is a D-amino acid. Trypsin, for example, cleaves on the CC-side of L-ArgArg and L-LysLys, but not on the CC-side of D-ArgArg and D-LysLys.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A protease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that tie polypeptide chains together, releasing individual amino acid subunits. The L and D nomenclature for amino acids defines the structure of the glyceraldehyde isomer through which the amino acid can be produced.

SEE BELOW FOR THE APPROPRIATE STRUCTURES.

We need to figure out why swine proteases hydrolyze L-amino acids but not D-amino acids in any way. we know that enzymatic catalysts act as polypeptides if you can recall. They must retain a very precise three-dimensional structure for a catalytic activity to occur. Substrates that do not quite match the required configuration at the active site will not be reacted to — this is a "lock and key" style.

The present exercise may be explained by the fact that the configuration and structure of D-amino acids prevent them from binding properly to the active site of the protease enzyme. Perhaps they're pointed in the wrong direction, or perhaps there happens to be missing electrical interaction that's needed to keep the substrate in position.

Nonetheless, L-amino acids, on the other hand, seem to have the right configurational aspects in the active site and are hydrolyzed.

What are the REACTANTS in photosynthesis?

[A] Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP

[B] Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight

[C] Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Carbon \ dioxide , water, and \ sunlight}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The reactants are the substances that go into a reaction. You begin with the reactants, then the reaction turns them into different products.

Remember, photosynthesis is a process that certain organisms, like plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, undergo to create "food". They actually produce glucose which serves as an energy source because it is converted into ATP during cellular respiration.

The formula for photosynthesis is:

[tex]6H_2O+6CO_2+ light \ energy \rightarrow C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

or

[tex]water + carbon \ dioxide + light \ energy \rightarrow glucose + oxygen[/tex]

The reactants are the starting substances, so they are to the left of the arrow. Therefore, the reactants are carbon dioxide (CO₂) water (H₂O), and sunlight. Choice B is correct.

The answer is B: carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. This is because photosynthesis requires these elements in order to continue with photosynthesis.
