Every day we make choices that can potentially affect our environment. For example, we may toss a plastic drink bottle into the nearby trash because it’s more convenient than walking all the way to the recycling bin. Think about three choices you made this week that could have affected the environment. Did your choices have a positive or a negative effect on the environment? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1
First, I chose to put a Chipotle container into the trash, instead of the recycling. This wasn’t the best decision, because it could have gone to the recycling and helped others.

Secondly, my family owns a compost bin and compost machine that helps compost vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, and other compostable items. Choosing to do this helps the environment in many ways.

Thirdly, I picked up many aluminum cans on the side of the road to crush and collect. After several months of collecting them in a container, my family and I bring them to a place that recycles and reuses metals and aluminum.
Answer 2

The three choices that could have affected the environment are as follows:

Utilization of plastic to make it easy for carrying objects.Plants trees in order to build a green environment. Overdependency on vehicles rather bicycles and pedestrians.

What is Environment?

The environment may be defined as anything which is present in the surroundings of living organisms. This environment basically has two types of factors biotic and abiotic factors.

In the above three choices, building a green environment has a positive effect on the environment. It may also affect living organisms positively. While the rest of the two may stimulate a negative impact on the environment by increasing the levels of carbon dioxide by liberating emission and non-biodegradable plastics.

Therefore, the three choices that could have affected the environment are well mentioned above.

Scenario 2:

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown.

Mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your DNA to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. The results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. If Mike’s DNA showed that he shares similarities in a segment of DNA with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent.

For each of the following structures, first indicate its function in the fetus; then, note its fate (what happens to it or what it is converted to after birth).

a. Umbilical artery
b. Umbilical vein
c. Ductus venosus
d. Ductus arterious
e. Foramen ovale

Answers

Answer:

1. Functions:

a. Umbilical artery >> carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta

b. Umbilical vein >> transports oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus

c. Ductus venosus >> allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver

d. Ductus arterious >> allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's non-functioning lungs

e. Foramen ovale >> oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the pulmonary circulation

2. After the bird:

1. Umbilical artery >> medial umbilical ligament

2. Umbilical vein >> round ligament of the liver

3. Ductus venosus  >> ligamentum venosum

4. Ductus arteriosus >> ligamentum arteriosum

5. Foramen ovale >> fossa ovalis

Explanation:

The umbilical artery is a paired artery localized in the abdominal and pelvic regions, which carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta through the umbilical cord. The medial umbilical ligament is the obliterated part of the umbilical artery that arises from the internal iliac arteries. In utero, the umbilical arteries carry waste products back to the placenta, whereas the umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. The round ligament of the liver (also known as ligamentum teres hepatis) is a remnant of the umbilical vein that  exists in the embryonic stage, it connects the left lobe of the liver to the umbilicus. The ductus venosus is a slender shunt that allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver, it connects the intra-hepatic portion of the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The ligamentum venosum is an extrahepatic, slender, and fibrous remnant of the fetal ductus venosus that travels between the left portal vein and the inferior vena cava. The ductus arteriosus is a fetal artery that connects the aorta to the pulmonary artery. The ligamentum arteriosum is a nonfunctional vestige of the ductus arteriosus, it is attached to the superior surface of the pulmonary trunk. The foramen ovale is an oval-shaped, small, opening in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart. The fossa ovalis is a vestige stricture of the foramen ovale of the embryonic heart, which forms a depression in the right atrium of the heart.

The second generation of purebred cross of -hom-ozygo us recessive organism, with a —hom-ozygous dominant organism, contain a ratio of approximately _______ expressed dominant traits to recessive traits.
A. 2:1
B. 1:1
C. 1:3
D. 3:1

Answers

Answer:

D. 3:1

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, in one of his numerous studies, performed a cross between purebred dominant (TT) pea plants and purebred recessive (tt) pea plants. All the offsprings of this cross appeared heterozygous tall (Tt) in the F1 generation.

However, when he self-crossed the F1 generation i.e. Tt × Tt, Mendel obtained a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall plants (dominant traits) : 1 short plant (recessive). This showed that the masked gene (recessive) was still present.

Answers

Answer:

Fever

When a paper cut breaks the skin, it introduces outside microorganisms into the cut. The body recognizes the break in the skin. Mast cells produce histamines, which cause more blood and lymph fluid to flow to the wound. This increased flow brings phagocytic white blood cells to the area, which destroy invading organisms until the blood can clot and the skin can heal over the cut, preventing more organisms from entering the body. If a cut is too deep or too wide, special care such as stitches and antibiotics could be needed to prevent infection.

1. In a parent pea plant with the allele pair Gg, what is the probability that one gamete will contain the G allele? Why?
2. In a parent pea plant with the allele pair GG, what is the probability that one gamete will contain the g allele? Why?
3. In a parent pea plant with the allele pair gg, what is the probability that one gamete will contain the g allele? Why?

Answers

Answer:

If the gamete will get either G or g, the probability will be 1/2 of getting G.

Explanation:

all question 3 answer is that. Because all 3 of question are same. only repeated three times

In a parent pea plant with the allele pair Gg, the probability that one gamete will contain the G allele is 0.5. This is because there are two possible outcomes in which one must definitely fall. So, it is 1/2.

What is Allele?

Alleles may be characterized as the alternative form or versions of a gene that are responsible for particular traits in living organisms. They carry a code of genetic sequences within generations.

In a parent pea plant with the allele pair GG, the probability that the gamete will contain the g allele is zero. This is because there is no presence of allele g that can be determined within any gametes. So, it is not possible to get g in the pair allele of GG.

In a parent pea plant with the allele pair gg, the probability that one gamete will contain the g allele is 1 or 100%. This is because both carry g alleles. So, the probability is 100%.

Answers

Answer:give me brainliest

Explanation:

A combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave, the “QRS complex” represents ventricular depolarization. Ventricular depolarization occurs in part via an accessory pathway (AP) directly connecting the atrium and ventricle and thus capable of conducting electrical impulses into the ventricle bypassing the AV-His Purkinje conduction system.This term can be confusing, as not all ECG leads contain all three of these waves; yet a “QRS complex” is said to be present regardless.
