what is name is given to this filtering unit?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each of your kidneys is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.

Suppose we have access to the four nucleotides which compose DNA: A, T, C and G. Placed into a sequence with one another, they form a code which can be read by the cell to provide a blueprint for the creation of proteins. When forming a sequence of three nucleotides, the sequences TAA, TAG, and TGA are codes to tell the cell to stop reading the DNA. Assume each sequence of nucleotides is equally likely to be formed.
A. How many possible ways are there to form a sequence of three nucleotides? - 64
B. Of the possible ways to form a sequence of three nucleotides, what is the probability to form a stop sequence? = 0.0469
C. What is the probability that a sequence that is not a stop sequence is formed? 64-3 = 61 61 = 0.983
D. For a three-nucleotide sequence, G is engineered to be in the third place. For the remaining two nucleotides in the sequence, C cannot be in the second place (for example CTG is allowed but not TCG). How many sequences can be formed?
E. Of the number of sequences found in Part D, what is the probability that a stop sequence is formed?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is :

A. we know there are four nucleotides and three sequence makes a triplet code then total possible ways are:

4^3 = 4×4×4= 64 ways.

B. The stop codons by 64 amino acid or triplet codes: TAA, TAG, and TGA then the probability would be = 3/64 = 0.0469

C. the probability that a sequence that is not a stop sequence is formed = total minus probability of stop codons:

64-3 = 61

61/64 = 0.953

D. G at end place and c should not be in the middle then:

the codes will be =

ATG

AGG

AAG

TTG

TGG

TAG

CTG

CGG

CAG

GTG

GGG

GAG

Total 12 triplet code sequences.

E. Among all these 12 codons there is only one stop codon that is TAG so the probability of this stop codon is :

1/12 = 0.083

Bumblebees show some ability to control their own body temperature. During cold weather, bumblebees have been observed warming their flight muscles by shivering. The bees are able to maintain a body temperature several degrees above that of the surrounding air. Regulation of their internal body temperature is an example of A. diffusion B. synthesis C. respiration D. Homeostasis

Answers

Answer:

D. Homeostasis

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Hence, regulation of the internal body temperature of the bumblebee is an example of homeostasis.

Answers

Answer:

A. Homologue.

B. Chiasma.

C. Synaptonemal.

D. Synaptonemal.

E. Synapsis.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Synaptonemal complex can be defined as a network of proteins that is responsible for holding homologous chromosomes (homologues) together.

Generally, a synaptonemal complex (protein lattice) is formed between homologous chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Also, synaptonemal complex is important for the formation of the four sister chromatids referred to as tetrads.

Furthermore, the synaptonemal complex (protein lattice) has a tripartite structure which comprises of the following components;

I. SC protein-1 (SYCP1).

II. SC protein-2 (SYCP2).

III. SC protein-3 (SYCP3).

In conclusion, the synaptonemal complex plays a significant role in synapsis, recombination and chromosome pairing.

Matching the various terminologies in genetics with their description, we have;

A. Homologue: one of a pair of chromosomes with similar genetic information and from different sources like the sperm and egg.

B. Chiasma: several X-shaped structures may be visible under the microscope and indicate where crossing over has occurred.

C. Synaptonemal: a lattice of protein holds two replicated chromosomes in precise register with one another.

D. Synaptonemal: four chromatids are held together by a zipper-like structure.

E. Synapsis: a process in which pairs of homologous complex chromosomes line up side by side.

What human behavior was the cause of the Nipah virus outbreak in Bangladesh? How did scientists determine this?

Answers

Answer:

Humans drinking raw date palm sap was the cause of the Nipah virus outbreak in Bangladesh. Scientists found Nipah virus in bat excretions and discovered that bats were contaminating date palm juice with their excretions (saliva, urine).

Explanation:

Nipah virus can spread to people from:

1) Direct contact with infected animals, such as bats or pigs, or their body fluids (such as blood, urine or saliva).

2) Consuming food products that have been contaminated by body fluids of infected animals (such as palm sap or fruit contaminated by an infected bat).

HIV replication requires conversion of the genomic RNA present in the infecting virus to a double stranded DNA that integrates into a human chromosome. Unlike DNA polymerase, HIV reverse transcriptase catalyzes DNA chain elongation from either a DNA or RNA template. Azidothymidine (AZT) was the first effective drug used to inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase and went into clinical use in 1987 to treat AIDS. What best describes how AZT inhibits reverse transcriptase

Answers

Answer:

AZT inhibits reverse transcriptase enzyme.

Explanation:

AZT inhibits reverse transcriptase enzyme that is used by the virus to make a DNA copy of its RNA. This Azidothymidine prevent reverse transcriptase enzyme from doing its function properly. Due to absence of this enzyme, the HIV virus is unable to make copies of its DNA and this Azidothymidine stops the life cycle of the virus and slows the growth of AIDS disease so that's why this drug was considered effective against HIV virus and used in the treatment of AIDS disease.

Explanation:

     Ia       Ia

Ib  IaIb     IaIb

i    Iai       Iai

i represents type O blood which is always recessive

the capital I represents co-dominant traits (a or b)

Iai is type A because O is recessive and will be masked by Ia

IaIb is type AB because both capital I traits will be codominant

This cross ultimately gives a 1:1 ratio of type A to type AB

2. Explain DNA replication and recombination.

Answers

Answer:

1. The central dogma of molecular biology is DNA >>transcription>> RNA >>translation>> protein

2.  DNA replication refers to the genetic process of generating two identical DNA molecules from one DNA sequence. Recombination refers to the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during cell division (meiosis)

Explanation:

Gene expression (also known as transcription) is the process by which a specific fragment of DNA called gene is used as template to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is in turn used as template to create a protein. This final product (i.e., the protein) has an effect on the phenotype of the individual. The DNA template is a single-stranded ordered polynucleotide chain composed of four different types of nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. In the complementary RNA molecule, Thymine bases are replaced by Uracil bases. Moreover, DNA replication refers to the process by which cells duplicate their genetic material before cell division (either mitosis or meiosis). During this process, both DNA strands are separated and each one is used as a template to synthesize a new DNA molecule. Finally, recombination or crossing over is a process where non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material during meiosis I (Prophase I). Recombination is known to increase genetic variation in resulting meiotic cells.

Lymph capillaries Lymph capillaries filter lymph. originate as closed-ended tubes associated with blood capillary networks. cannot be discerned structurally from cardiovascular system capillaries. include layers of smooth muscle for peristalsis. concentrate lymph prior to passing it to larger lymphatic vessels.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is ''originate as closed-ended tubes associated with blood capillary networks.''

Explanation:

The lymphatic vessel system begins within the tissues in the form of tubes closed at one end called lymphatic capillaries (chyliferous in the intestine). These have an internal endothelial lining, similar to that of blood capillaries. These vessels are found in greater numbers in the skin, the digestive tract, and the respiratory system. The tissue fluid penetrates the lymphatic capillaries by diffusion, with the help of a small indirect pressure gradient, which gives it the arterial pressure. The walls of the lymphatic capillaries offer little resistance to the entry of substances; they are more permeable than capillaries in the blood system. The tiny capillaries form larger vessels, similar to the venules and veins of the blood vessel system. The walls are thinner than those of the veins of the blood system and its valves much more numerous.
