Answer:
Biodiversity is the diversity of living beings, be they animals or plants, which together make up the totality of life on planet Earth. In other words, the term biodiversity necessarily implies a large number of different species and genres of living beings, which interrelate with each other through food chains, sharing natural habitats or even establishing more complex links. In any case, it requires that heterogeneity that implies the existence of several different living beings from each other in a given space.

DNA damage checkpoints are crucial for preventing cell proliferation when DNA damage has occurred. The role of DNA checkpoint proteins in the cell cycle is closely tied to the roles of DNA repair enzymes, although these proteins perform different functions.1. Which of the following statements is true for DNA checkpoint proteins and not for DNA repair enzymes? a. These proteins remove a single nucleotide of damaged DNA. b. These proteins nick the phosphodiester backbone of the damaged DNA. c. These proteins prevent the cell cycle from progressing if damaged DNA is detected. d. These proteins remove the region of damaged DNA. 2. Which cell cycle phases contain critical DNA damage checkpoints?a. Gob. G1c. G2d. M
Answer:
1. C. These proteins prevent the cell cycle from progressing if damaged DNA is detected.
2. C. G2
Explanation:
1. All other choices apply uniquely to DNA repair enzymes (i.e. not to DNA checkpoint proteins).
2. Go doesn't contain any critical DNA damage checkpts. because it's not even an official part of the cell cycle; it's simply a phase in which cells are arrested. G1 doesn't contain any critical DNA damage checkpts. because it's before DNA is replicated. G2 is right after S phase when the DNA is replicated; thus, it contains critical DNA damage checkpts.

The central (Haversian) canal that runs through the core of each osteon is the site of ________. adipose tissue and nerve fibers cartilage and interstitial lamellae blood vessels yellow marrow and spicules
Answer:
Blood vessels and nerve fibers
Explanation:
The Haversian canal serves as the bone tissues and it runs through the core of each osteon. The osteon surrounds the Haversian canal and contain structures called lamellae.
These lamella are made largely of collagen fibers and also various network of rich blood vessels and cells which produces blood cells in the body. Nerve cells which helps in the relay of impulses are also present. The rich contents of the bone gives it its strength and durability.
Answer:
The correct answer is: blood vessels and nerve fibers.
Explanation:
Haversian Canals are a group of tubes that are located in the more peripheral region of the bone, known as the cortical bone. The cortical bone is hard and compact and is composed of several concentric layers of bone cells (osteocytes and osteoblasts) that circle around a haversian canal, which contains capillaries and nerve fibers. This structure is called an osteon.
Haversian Canals are very important for the correct functioning of the bone, as they give the cells their needed blood supply and innervation.

affinity. Attraction between particles. Biology: A measure of the attraction of one biological molecule toward another molecule, either to modify it, destroy it, or form a compound with it. Examples are enzymes and their substrates, or antibodies and their antigens.
Mendel first crossed true-breeding plants to produce a second generation, which were then allowed to self-pollinate to generate the offspring. How do we name these three generations?
Answer:
P, F1 and F2
Explanation:
The first generation crossed which included the true breeding parents are the P generation plant. This produces the two subsequent generations which are the first filial generation (F1) and the second filial generation (F2).
A farmer plants Bt cotton that is genetically modified to produce its own insecticide. Of the cotton bollworms feeding on these Bt plants, only 5% survive unless they have at least one copy of the dominant resistance allele R that confers resistance to the Bt insecticide. When the farmer first plants Bt cotton, the frequency of the R allele in the cotton bollworm population is 0.01. What will the frequency of the resistance allele be after one generation of cotton bollworms fed on Bt cotton [answer]
Answer:
the frequency of the resistant allele after one generation is 0.989
Explanation:
Given that :
A farmer plants Bt cotton that is genetically modified to produce its own insecticide.
Of the cotton bollworms feeding on these Bt plants, only 5% survive
i.e the survival rate s = 5% =0.05
unless they have at least one copy of the dominant resistance allele R that confers resistance to the Bt insecticide
Frequency of R allele = 0.01
In order to determine what will the frequency of the resistance allele be after one generation of cotton bollworms fed on Bt cotton; we need to first determine the frequency of the recessive allele r.
According to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium ;
p+q = 1
Let p = R and q = r
R + r = 1
0.01 + r = 1
r = 1 - 0.01
r = 0.99
Now; the frequency of the resistance allele after one generation can be calculated as :
[tex]q' = \dfrac{q(1-sq)}{1-(sq^2)}[/tex]
where ;
q' = R
q = r
[tex]q' = \dfrac{0.99(1-(0.05 \times 0.99))}{1-(0.05 \times 0.99^2)}[/tex]
[tex]q' = \dfrac{0.99(0.9505)}{1-(0.049005)}[/tex]
[tex]q' = \dfrac{0.940995}{0.950995}[/tex]
q' = 0.989
Thus; the frequency of the resistant allele after one generation is 0.989
A biologist is studying how green sea turtles choose where to lay their eggs. She makes a hypothesis that because this species is related to other sea turtles through common ancestry, they probably all use the same process. This biologist formed her hypothesis using:________
a. A hunch
b. The unifying theory of evolution
c. Experimentation
d. The scientific method
e. Observations of green sea turtles' behavior
Answer:
Option b
Explanation:
Hypotheses are carried out as proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence which serves as a beginning point for further study.
The biologist in this case has a limited evidence with regards to this species which is just only about its ancestry, so her hypothesis was based on the unifying theory of evolution which is the framework within which biologists ask questions about the living world providing predictions with regards to directions about living things.
The correct answer, unequivocally, is (B).
- This is because she used her knowledge that, from an standpoint of evolution, these turtles were related to each other.

Estimate how many arteries branch off the aorta given that arteries have a diameter of 0.4 cm and a flow speed of 45 cm/s.
Answer:
Approximately 25 arteries would branch off
Explanation:
Aorta has a diameter of 2 cm, so area is pi x 1^2 = 3.142
In case of the artery, pi x 0.2^2 = 0.126
So dividing total area of aorta by total area of one artery, we get 3.142/0.126 = 25.021
Hence, about 25 arteries will be needed to carry the amount of blood that flows in the aorta vessel.
In the intrinsic pathway, the reaction begins with clotting factors from the _.
Answer:
Clotting factors are circulating in the blood.
Explanation:
In the intrinsic pathway, the body is responding intravascular damage through binding of platelets, exposure of chemicals or even collagen from endothelial membranes. The most of the clotting factors are synthesized by the liver and circulate around the blood stream until they are needed or until they are degraded based off their half lives.
When the platelets start to aggregate they release chemicals and have proteins that can attract the clotting factors. In the intrinsic pathway, clotting Factor XII starts off the cascade. Hope that helped :)
