Genetically modified organisms include microbes used in biotechnology that possess enzymes promoting antibiotic resistance. This could be a problem given the rise of antibiotic-resistant organisms. However, these engineered microorganisms do not pose a risk to public health. What do you think prevents them from spreading antibiotic resistance to pathogens outside the laboratory
Answer:
What prevents these microorganisms from spreading resistance outside the laboratory is that they are modified to not survive outside the laboratory environment.
Explanation:
Antibiotic resistant microorganisms are very dangerous and unfavorable, as they leave living beings completely completely defenseless to their attacks. However, there are microorganisms that have been modified in the laboratory, as shown in the question above, and do not present any risk to living beings, even if they develop resistance. This is because the modification that these microorganisms received makes them not survive the environmental conditions outside the laboratory, which causes them to die if they leave the laboratory.
Tetrodotoxin is a potent toxin found in a variety of organisms including the pufferfish. The toxin binds to the extracellular side of the Na+ channel and prevents channel opening. This leads to paralysis of muscles, including the diaphragm. Death from respiratory failure can occur after ingestion of as little as 1 mg of the toxin. Why does this toxin cause paralysis? Question 7 options: The axon membranes become over-depolarized. The Na+ channels remain in the inactive, refractory state. The Na+ channel does not open wide enough to allow enough Na+ through the channel. The membrane depolarization is not amplified along the axon.
Answer:
The correct answer is - The membrane depolarization is not amplified along the axon.
Explanation:
Tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin present in the liver and gonads of Marine organisms. it can inhibit the soidum channels which means it blocks the entering of the sodium in the cells or neurons if consumed it and it can lead to neurological and gastrointestinal disorders.
These toxins block the signals to move along the nerves to muscles In absence of sodium action potential cannot be sent along the axon by blocking the sodium channels. This results in weakening and paralysis.

Explain the difference: a myelinated axon conducts impulses faster than non-myelinated axon of the same diameter
Answer:
A myelinated axon conducts impulses faster than a non-myelinated axon. ... Therefore, in myelinated neurones, the nerve impulse is said to jump from node - to - node, a impulse pathway known as Saltatory Conduction. This means that the action potential does not have to travel along the whole length of the myelinated axon

5. Our nervous system and our skeletomuscular system help us react to stimuli. Give one example on how this helps us maintain homeostasis.
Answer
The nervous and skeletomuscular systems help maintain homostasis by regulating respiration.
Explanation:
The brain stem, consisting of the pons and medulla, represent the main respiratory center. According to Wikipedia, "an increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood, or a decreased level of oxygen, will result in a deeper breathing pattern and increased respiratory rate to bring the blood gases back to equilibrium."
This is an example of a homostastic response controlled by both of the organ systems referenced above.

As native mason bees visit flowers, they spread pollen while also consuming nectar from the plant. This is an example of symbiosis.
true or fasle
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Symbiosis is a type of relationship or interaction between two different biological organisms/species by which both are benefited. The bees such as mason bees are pollinators. Pollinators are animals (especially insects) that help the development of seeds and the fruit surrounding seeds by the pollination of flowers, i.e., by the transference of pollen from male anthers of a flower to the female stigma. During this process, pollinators eat nectar, which is a sweet energy-rich liquid secreted by flowers. In consequence, both species (i.e., plants and mason bees) are benefited from this interaction.

Entre una planta alta de color purpura (AABB) con otras planta enana de color blanco (aabb), ¿cómo será el genotipo y el fenotipo de la F1 Y F2?
Answer:
- Alelos:
Locus 1: A (alto); a (enano)
Locus 2: B (púrpura); b (blanco)
- Cruzamiento parental: AABB x aabb
Genotipos F1: AaBb
- Cruzamiento F1: AaBb x AaBb
Fenotipo: 100% plantas altas púrpuras
- Genotipos F2: AABB (1/16); Aabb (1/16); aaBB (1/16); aabb (1/16); AaBb (4/16); AABb (2/16); aaBb (2/16); AaBB (2/16); Aabb (2/16)
- Fenotipos F2: 9/16 A-B- (altas púrpuras); 3/16 A-bb (altas blancas); 3/16 aaB- (enanas púrpuras); 1/16 aabb (enanas blancas)
Explanation:
Un cruzamiento dihíbrido refiere a un tipo de cruzamiento entre dos parentales que difieren para dos pares de alelos (AABB x aabb). Si consideramos dos loci de dominancia completa, un cruzamiento dihíbrido producirá una F1 heterocigota para ambos genes donde la progenie expresará ambos rasgos dominantes. Como resultado de la distribución independiente expresada en la segunda ley de Mendel, La F2 de este tipo de cruzamiento producirá un proporción fenotípica 9:3:3:1; es decir 9 individuos con ambos rasgos dominantes (A-B-), 3 con el rasgo uno dominante (A-bb), 3 con el rasgo dos dominante (aaB-) y 1 con ambos rasgos recesivos (aabb).
How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
A. Parallel to the direction of wave motion
B. Perpendicular to the direction of wave motion
C. Both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of wave motion
D. Neither parallel nor perpendicular to the direction of wave motion
Answer:
perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Explanation:
when in a medium, they only go up and down or back and forth meaning the wave won't ever move the left or right side of the particles, so it is perpendicular
hope this is trusted helper for brainly material
Answer: it’s both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of a wave motion

An ecosystem is when plants and animals interact with each other in a specific area.
Because the imaginary axis of the earth is inclined to the sun at the equator, the northern and southern hemispheres shine in different ways. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere of our planet, then it is winter in the southern hemisphere
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, when it is summer in the northern hemisphere of earth, then it is winter in the southern hemisphere. This change of season occur due to tilting of earth. The season of northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere are different and opposite to each other because both are present at opposite location on the earth surface. The tilting region experience winter season whereas the other regions experience summer due to direct sunlight.

Luisa went into the bathroom after her sister had a bath. It was full of mist and the mirror was covered with the a lot of liquid drops. What was the mist made of?
Answer:
Mist is made of water vapor.
Explanation:
The bathroom mirror and the fog that the bathroom presents after someone takes a shower, is formed by water vapor. This water vapor is formed by the hot water from showers, which evaporates. This water vapor is what forms the mist, however, when this mist touches the surfaces of the bathroom, such as the mirror, it becomes water again and that smothers the mirror. The mist becomes water when touching the mirror because of the difference in temperature between them, as the mist is hot and the mirror is cold. This happens through the condensation of water.

When a genotype of a guinea pig is "Hh" (select all that are true)
One chromosome of the homologous pair has a sequence that results in hair and one chromosome has a sequence that results in no hair
One copy of the "H" allele on the homologous chromosome is enough to make the guinea pig have hair since both alleles are transcribed and translated
Only one of the chromosomes in the homologous pair carry the genetic sequence to make hair
Both chromosomes in the homologous pair carry the genetic sequence to make hair
Answer:
One chromosome of the homologous pair has a sequence that results in hair and one chromosome has a sequence that results in no hair
One copy of the "H" allele on the homologous chromosome is enough to make the guinea pig have hair since both alleles are transcribed and translated
Only one of the chromosomes in the homologous pair carry the genetic sequence to make hair
Explanation:
Hairy is dominant over hairless. If there was a hairless guinea pig here instead, we would know its genotype. It would be hh. Remember any time a dominant allele is present it is expressed in the phenotype, so if the phenotype is not the dominant one, we know the genotype must contain two recessive alleles.
These are the factors that is true, When a genotype of a guinea pig is "Hh"
• One chromosome of the homologous pair has a sequence that results in hair and one chromosome has a sequence that results in no hair
• One copy of the "H" allele on the homologous chromosome is enough to make the guinea pig have hair since both alleles are transcribed and translated
• Only one of the chromosomes in the homologous pair carry the genetic sequence to make hair
