Answer:
0.0177
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, thereby an individual must have both copies of the CFTR mutant alleles to have this disease. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous dominant genotype (normal phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive genotype (cystic fibrosis phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (individuals that carry one copy of the CFTR mutant allele). Moreover, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the dominant 'p' allele frequency and the recessive 'q' allele frequency is equal to 1. In this case, we can observe that the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive condition for cystic fibrosis (q²) is 1/3200. In consequence, the frequency of the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis can be calculated as follows:
1/3200 = q² (have two CFTR mutant alleles) >>
q = √ (1/3200) = 1/56.57 >>
- Frequency of the CFTR allele q = 1/56.57 = 0.0177
- Frequency of the dominant 'normal' allele p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.0177 = 0.9823
In pulsus paradoxus, even if the pulse cannot be palpated, it can still be heard by using a BP cuff and stethoscope.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Pulse can't be heard by using a BP cuff and stethoscope because these devices are used to measure the heartbeat and blood pressure of the body. Digital monitors display both blood pressure and heart rate, but you can determine the pulse by checking your pulse by using hand while on the other hand, heartbeats can easily be heard using a good stethoscope so we can say that pulse can't be heard through BP cuff and stethoscope.

1. Cerebral Cortex
2. Hypothalamus
3. Brainstem
4. Spinal Cord
(1)The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals. The cerebral cortex mostly consists of the six-layered neocortex, with just 10% consisting of allocortex.
(2)The hypothalamus is a small region of the brain. It's located at the base of the brain, near the pituitary gland. While it's very small, the hypothalamus plays a crucial role in many important functions, including: releasing hormones. regulating body temperature.
(3) The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior stalk-like part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. In the human brain the brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata Ten pairs of cranial nerves come from the brainstem.
(4)The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine. The spinal cord consists of bundles of nerve axons forming pathways that carry incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

Which two of these characteristics does an organism with bilateral symmetry possess?
Answer:
symmetrical in many ways across a central axis" and "presence of a head".
Explanation:
Bilateral symmetry is a characteristic that many organisms has at which if we divide the body using an imaginary line, we will see two mirror images. Two characteristics that an organism with bilateral symmetry possess are symmetrical in many ways across a central axis (known as well as the sagittal plane), and presence of a head that is at the middle of the central axis. The great majority of organisms posses bilateral symmetry, including the humans.

1. A week after returning from a backpacking trip, four teenagers developed nausea and severe diarrhea. All had consumed untreated water from a stream which doctors concluded was infested with the organism, Giardia. Think about the symbiotic relationships that you studied in this unit. What type of relationship exists between the teens and the organism?
2. As humans burn fossil fuels for energy, the percent of carbon stored in fossils is reduced while the carbon in the atmosphere is increased. If green plants are also being removed, how might the carbon cycle and greenhouse effect be influenced?
3. How are decomposers critical to the carbon cycle?
Answer:
Explanation:
1) The relationship that exists between the teens and the organism (Giardia) is Parasitism. Because in such symbiotic relationship one species (the parasite-Giardia) benefits while the other species (the host- the teens) is harmed.
2) Plants remove Carbon dioxide (a major green house gas) from atmosphere during photosynthesis. But, if plants are also being removed with increase in use of fossil fuels, the CO2 that escapes the fossil fuels will remain in the atmosphere for longer as there are not enough plants to "suck" them back into a stored form of Carbon. Carbon Dioxide increases green hourse effect thus green house effect will increase and earth's temperature might rise due to this.
3) Without decomposers we would not be able to continue the carbon cycle because we could not release the stored carbon from plants and animals into the atmosphere. Decomposers break down dead material from organism and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where it's available to plants for photosynthesis. Without them, we could not recycle nutrients or carbons in our ecosystem and thus, they are critical for the carbon cycle.
The protein calcineurin binds to the protein calmodulin with an association rate of 8.9 × 103 M-1s-1 and an overall dissociation constant, Kd, of 10 nM. The dissociation rate kd is:_____. Please explain step by step.
A. 8.9 × 10^3 M-1s-1
B. 8.9 × 10^2 s-1
C. 1.1 × 10-10 s-1
D. 8.9 × 10-5 s-1
Answer:
D
Explanation:
From the information given:
Association rate [tex]K_a[/tex] = [tex]8.9 \times 10^3 M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]
dissociation constant [tex]K_D[/tex] = 10 nM
dissociation rate [tex]K_d[/tex] = ???
Using the following relation from equilibrium dissociation constant to determine the dissociation rate, we have:
[tex]K_D =\dfrac{ K_d}{K_a}[/tex]
[tex]K_d = K_D \times K_a[/tex]
[tex]K_d =(10*10^{-9} \ M) \times (8.9*10^3 \ M^{-1}{s^{-1})[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{K_d =8.9*10^{-5} \ {s^{-1}}}[/tex]
Discuss how important you think it is to protect ecosystems from human-induced change, such as changes in habitat or introduction of invasive species. Should natural conditions be preserved at all costs, should human needs always prevail, or is the answer somewhere in between? Discuss the negative consequences of taking an approach that you disagree with.
Answer:
Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. ecosystems are vital for human welfare and survival, as they provide us with essential products and benefits.
Over 90% of our food comes from terrestrial ecosystems, which also provide energy, building materials, clothes, medicines, fresh and clean water, and clean air. Protecting wildlife and preserving it for future generations also means that the animals we love don't become a distant memory. And we can maintain a healthy and functional ecosystem.

Explanation:
Warfarin acts by inhibiting the activity of the VKORC1 protein, which helps to produce functional clotting factors. There is a variant in the VKORC1 gene that lowers the dose of warfarin required for treatment, and individuals with this variant have increased risk of bleeding when they are treated with warfarin. This variant is found 1639 base pairs upstream of the translational start site. This variant likely:______.
a. decreases the activity of the VKORC1 protein.b. increases the activity of the VKORC1 protein.c. decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.d. increases expression of the VKORC1 gene.
Answer:
The correct answer - c. decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.
Explanation:
Mutation of Guanine nucleotide into Adenosine is the reason for this particular type of mutation. This mutation expresses the less expression of the VKORC1 protein.
The mutation results in a decrease in the affinity of the binding site of the transcription factor which causes less expression. Since the VKORC1 protein is less in the body so Warfarin doses are decreased
Thus, the correct answer is - decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.

Toluene crosses pure lipid bilayers many hundreds of times faster than a related compound, phenylalanine. Suggest two different properties of these molecules that would account for this difference.
Answer:
The lipid bilayer is hydrophobic that is hydrophobic and it can easily cross the lipid bilayer.
Toulene is a hydrophobic and neutral molecule compound so it can easily pass through the bilayer. It is an aromatic compound with a methane group attached to the benzene ring. It is smaller in comparison to Phenylalanine.
Phenylalanine-- It is an amino acid with a benzene ring attached to it. This amino acid is less hydrophobic than the aliphatic amino acids. Because of its less hydrophobic nature, it travels slowly compared to Toluene. It is also larger and has amino and carboxyl groups attached to it. On the other hand, Phenylalanine is a polar compound which has -COOH and -NH2 group. which prevents its delay in its transport across the lipid bilayer.

For the following three cultures, using any resource find out if they are obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobe, or obligate anaerobe- o Escherichia coli o Micrococcus luteus o Clostridium sporogenes
Answer:
Escherichia coli - Facultative anaerobe
Micrococcus luteus - Obligate aerobe
Clostridium sporogenes - Obligate anaerobe
Explanation:
In simple terms, obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to grow and metabolize molecules such as fats and sugars to produce energy. Many animals fall under this category. Other examples are Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Micrococcus luteus.
Facultative anaerobes are organisms (usually bacteria) that can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The most example of this are the Escherichia coli.
Obligate anaerobes are organisms (usually microorganisms) that cannot survive when exposed to normal atmospheric concentration of oxygen. Examples are Clostridium sporogenes and Clostridium botulinum.

Some parents would like to know what is the main cause of these genetic disorders. Without going into too much detail, you explain to them that chromosomal abnormalities are usually caused by (5) ____________________ in meiosis I and meiosis II, when the homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiotic cell division.
Answer:
Abnormalities in Chromosomes
1. Numerical
2. Structural
3. Down Syndrome
4. Turner Syndrome
5. Disorder or Error
Explanation:
Numerical chromosome abnormalities occur due to extra or missing chromosomes. Structural chromosome abnormalities occur due to the irregular formation or rearrangement of the chromosomal DNA, normally called translocation. Down syndrome occurs with extra chromosomes, more than 46. Turnover syndrome results from partial or missing X chromosomes, less than 46.

stay safe healthy and happy...When an organism encounters nitrate in its environment, which condition will determine whether the nitrate is used in an assimilatory or dissimilatory manner?
a. low concentration or ammonia
b. low concentration of sulfate
c. oxygen present
d. low temperature
e. oxygen absent
f. high concentration of nitrite
Answer:
Dissimilatory- oxygen absent
Assimilatory- high concentration of nitrite
Explanation:
In assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium is produced and subsequently incorporated into biomass to build up e.g., proteins and nucleic acids. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is a process for energy conservation, in which nitrate is used as an electron acceptor in the (near) absence of oxygen . Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and nitrate storage in particular are physiological life traits that provide microbes with environmental flexibility (i.e., metabolic activity under both oxic and anoxic conditions) and resource independence (i.e., anaerobic metabolism without immediate nitrate supply), respectively. Such life traits are especially important in environments that are temporarily anoxic and/or nitrate-free and they may have developed as a “life strategy” in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

130 and 14C are isotopes of 12C, which has 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons. What is the arrangement of subatomic particles in 14c?
A. 6 electrons, 7 protons, and 6 neutrons.
The correct answer is C. 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 8 neutrons.
Explanation
An isotope is a type of atom that is characterized by having a nucleus with a different number of neutrons. Additionally, isotope atoms are those that have the same number of protons in the nucleus (in the case of carbon 6 protons), but different mass numbers. In the case of the isotope of carbon, it has 8 neutrons (2 more neutrons than the regular carbon) and 6 protons in the nucleus, that is, that its mass is 14 (6 protons + 8 neutrons equals 14). According to the above, the correct answer is C.
