Which statement about venation is INCORRECT?



Some flowering plants have leaves that lack venation even though the stems and roots have vascular bundles.



Venation is important for delivering water to leaf cells and taking sugars to the stem.



Venation refers to arrangement of the veins within a leaf.



Venation patterns include pinnate, palmate and dichotomous.



In general, monocots exhibit parallel venation.

Answers

Answer:

Some flowering plants have leaves that lack venation even though the stems and roots have vascular bundles.

Explanation:

Venation refers to the arrangement of the veins in the leaf of a plant which are involved in the transport of material in the plants.

The xylem present in leaves transports water to the leaf whereas phloem transports sugar from the leaves to different parts of the plants. In angiosperms, no plants are known whose leaves lack the veins but stem and root possess the vascular bundles.

Monocot is characterised by their parallel veins whereas dicots possess reticulate veins. Also, the compound leaves possess one of the three types of venation that are palmate, pinnate and dichotomous.

Since no angiosperm posses, veinless leaves, therefore, is the correct answer.

Many types of cancer are known to overexpress the receptor protein tyrosine kinase. Which molecular technique can be used to reduce expression of tyrosine kinase in cell culture?

Answers

Answer:

By phosphorylation or by activating cyclin-dependent kinase-mediated signaling pathways

Explanation:

The Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (Cdks) are a family of critical regulatory proteins capable of modulating the progression through the cell cycle. Cdks are in turn regulated by binding to cyclin proteins or by phosphorylation at specific amino acid residues (generally tyrosine and threonine).

Phosphorylation is the most widely studied posttranslational modification and it is known to inhibit (and also activate) protein function, while cyclin-dependent kinases are proteins known to inhibit the activity of Cdks and thereby acting as tumor suppressors by inducing cell death-apoptosis.

Each of two parents has the genotype brown divided by red​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine hair color​, and each parent contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown. a. List the different possible outcomes. Assume that these outcomes are equally likely. b. What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the red divided by red ​genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color​?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Each of two parents has the genotype brown divided by red​

So ;

The man's genotype is : [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}[/tex]

The woman's genotype is : [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}[/tex]

This [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}[/tex] genotype consist of the pair of alleles that determine hair color​

Now; we are given an assumption that:

if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown.

i.e Brown allele is dominant to Red allele

(a) List the different possible outcomes.

The cross between :

[tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}* \mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}}[/tex] will produce the following offsprings which is the different possible outcomes.

[tex]= \mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Brown} \ \ : \ \ \mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}} \ \ : \ \ \mathbf {\dfrac{Red}{Brown}} \ \ : \ \ \mathbf {\dfrac{Red}{Red} }}[/tex]

(b) . What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the red divided by red ​genotype?

The probability that the child of  these parents will have [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Red}{Red} }}[/tex] is one out of four

i.e

= 1/4

= 0.25

(c) What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color​.

We are being told that;  if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown.

i.e Brown allele is dominant to Red allele

Thus; from above we will see that three of the offsprings have at least one brown allele;

Thus; the probability  that the child will have brown hair color​ is = 3/4

= 0.75

Given the behavior and ecology of this insect, what are some factors that could cause the incidence of Chagas disease to increase in Central and South America in areas like the banana plantation, and why

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

There are many physical elements such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, altitude, vegetation, among others, that influence the presence of the insects that transmit the Chagas diseases. Its transmission seems to be enhanced by other social elements, such as the deficiency in basic services, lack of planning, the socio-economical conditions, cultural conditions. Altogether, these factors intervene in the presence of the Chagas disease, a systemic infection caused by the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi. This protozoan is hosted by different wild and domestic mammals, transmitted to the human by hematophagous insects. The transmission occurs through dejections deposited on skin or mucose during or after the feeding process.  

Different rural areas in Central and South America are characterized by a mountain relief (temperatures between 15 and 30ºC - relative humidity between 50 and 90%), as well as by a plane relief associated with alluvial plain (temperature between 20 and 35ºC - media relative humidity of 75%). Vegetation in the mountain area provides a natural habitat to the triatomines, the insects that transmit the Chagas disease.  

Constant deforestation in mountains, soil move, the cutting down, firing, have destroyed the natural habitat of the insects, becomming the cause of their arrival to populated centers. As their environment is destroyed,    insects migrate to new areas and find refuge in precarious houses that surround the affected areas. Most of these houses have clay walls, a roof made of branches, and no floor. People that live in these conditions do not have economic resources.  Indexes of infestation in these houses are high due to the material used for their construction. Insects tend to establish near a source of food, such as domestic animals or even humans. It is also common that these houses have chicken coops and farmyards that also offer good conditions for the insects to live in.

Economic activities are important variables to consider, as these define the way of living in a population.  

Agriculture activities are performed with no control or planning. People deforest to plant, getting in contact with the insects' natural habitat, producing environmental changes, and getting in touch with them, enhancing the risks of being infected and of transportin the insects.

2) bleach dilute is 1:10

1. It is false that In a standard autoclave procedure dry heat is used combined with high pressure.

2.  It is true that Household bleach is routinely used in dilution 1:10

1. In a standard autoclave procedure, moist heat, not dry heat, is used in combination with high pressure. Autoclaves use steam under high pressure to achieve sterilization by destroying microorganisms and their spores. The high-pressure steam provides effective heat transfer and penetration, ensuring the sterilization of the items being processed.

2. Household bleach is often used in a dilution of 1:10, meaning one part bleach is mixed with nine parts water. This dilution is commonly recommended for various household cleaning and disinfection purposes. It helps to ensure effective disinfection while reducing the potential harmful effects of concentrated bleach.

Please describe the regulation of the blood glucose 6 hours after a meal?
Please include all relevant organs, hormones, and actions.

Answers

Answer:

Find the description below in the explanation section

Explanation:

The body system regulates the blood sugar level via the hand-in-hand working of insulin and glucagon hormones, both produced by the Pancreas. After a meal, the food undergoes digestion and is broken down into glucose, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. Insulin hormone is released by the pancreas (stimulated by a negative feedback) when the sugar level of the blood increases. This secretion of insulin causes cells to absorb glucose as source of energy, while liver and muscle cells store some of the excess blood glucose as GLYCOGEN.

However, after about 6 hours of taking the meal, the blood sugar (glucose) level must have decreased. This triggers the secretion of Glucagon hormone by the Pancreas. Glucagon hormone, acts in an opposite manner as Insulin hormone, by causing the stored GLYCOGEN in the liver and muscle cells to be converted back to Glucose in order for cells to make use of it.

This continuous process occurs and it is how the body regulates the blood glucose levels.

In 1668 Francesco Redi did a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze will exclude the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat.
Refer to the paragraph on Redi's experiments. In both experiments, fies appeared in all of the open jars and only in the open jars. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. The experiment was inconclusive because it did not nun long enough
B. The experiment supports the hypothesis that spontaneous generation occurs in rotting meat.
C. The expertment supports the hwpothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flhes
D. The experiment was inconclusive because Redi used only one kind of meat

Answers

Answer:

The experiment supports the hypothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flies; that is  only from reproduction and development.

Explanation:

The objective of this experimental set up by Francesco Radi  was to demonstrate the concept of spontaneous generation. He concluded that, Maggots are not spontaneous generated from rotten meats, rather they are products of eggs laid by houseflies who visited the rotten meat to lay eggs. The maggots (larva) are products of complete metamorphosis, from egg to larva to pupa and adult. This is an indication that, new organisms are not formed form spontaneously, but are products of well-defined process of reproduction and development which in this case is a  complete metamorphosis.

Based on this premise he concluded that, if maggots were products of  laid eggs, then they should appear only  when rotten meat is exposed to  open air.However,if they are f products of spontaneous generation they should appear irrespective of  the meat exposure to air or not.

Tolerance

Explanation:

Tolerance is the capacity of an organism to survive changes in certain environmental and biochemical conditions. It has to with changes an organism is able to withstand when is subjected to certain factors which can biotic or abiotic.

For example, in the consumption of alcohol, tolerance can occur when there is a fast elimination of alcohol from the body system. This is usually as a result of the activation of a group of enzymes that is responsible for the metabolism of alcohol in excessive alcohol drinkers. The activation of this enzymes increases the catabolism of alcohol and hence reduces the active time within the body, hence reducing the time by which alcohol intoxicates.

C. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3

Mutant 5-TAGTTGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3

Explanation:

In the wild type, the DNA sequence encodes the following aminoacidic segment: SRSLGI; while the mutant form has a stop codon in the second codon (TGA). A stop codon is a trinucleotide sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) that indicates a stop signal in protein synthesis. There are three types of stop codons: UGA, UAG and UAA, where U represents Uracile in the mRNA instead of Thymine in the DNA sequence.

Representation:  

C. WT 5-T AGT CGA AGC TTA GGC ATC T-3 >> 5'3' Frame 1 = SRSLGI

Mutant 5-T AGT TGA AGC TTA GGC ATC T-3 >> 5'3' Frame 1 = S-, where - represents a stop codon (TGA) and therefore it is the end of the protein.
