From fossil evidence, you know two species shared a common ancestor approximately 50 million years ago. In comparing a known neutral sequence between rats and mouse, you found 92 base differences in 1000bp. From this information, which of the following values is closest to what you would predict the mutation rate to be?
a. 1 x 10-9
b. 4 x 10-9
c. 2 x 10-9
d. 5 x 10-9
e. 5 x 10-8
f. 8 x 10-9

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option c ([tex]2\times 10^{-9}[/tex]) is the correct alternative.

Explanation:

Given:

Common ancestor,

= 50 million years ago

Base differences,

= 92

Now,

The predicted mutation rate will be:

= [tex]\frac{92}{50\times 10^6\times 1000}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1.84}{10^9}[/tex]

= [tex]1.84\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

or,

= [tex]2\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

Thus the above solution is the right one.

Explanation:

1.fallopian tube

2.an unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development, in particular a human offspring during the period from approximately the second to the eighth week after fertilization (after which it is usually termed a fetus)

3.First, the zygote becomes a solid ball of cells. Then it becomes a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst. Inside the uterus, the blastocyst implants in the wall of the uterus, where it develops into an embryo attached to a placenta and surrounded by fluid-filled membranes.

4.Eggs live in ovaries, and the hormones that control your menstrual cycle cause a few eggs to mature every month. When your egg is mature, it means it's ready to be fertilized by a sperm cell. These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy, which gets your body ready for pregnancy.

5.The fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. The placenta then develops. The placenta transfers nutrition and oxygen to the fetus from mother. If the egg does not become fertilized, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is shed during menstruation.

6.The egg cell travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus. The moment the egg cell leaves the ovary is called ovulation. Once a girl has had her first monthly period, ovulation usually occurs once a month

7.The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21 to 45 days in young teens. The rise and fall of levels of hormones during the month control the menstrual cycle.

Non vascular plants are quite commin in the forests along the coast of Norther California but are relatively rare in the ecosystems around Davis in the Central Valley. What aspects of the life cycle of these plants make it difficult for them to reproduce on our area

Answers

Answer:

The Central Valley of northern California is a region where there is little water supply, while nonvascular plants cannot efficiently store water and they have primitive traits that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Explanation:

The Central Valley of northern California is characterized to have little natural precipitation/snowmelt during the dry summer months. In addition, California's climate also has extended periods of drought. On the other hand, non-vascular plants such as mosses and liverworts, are a type of plant that lacks vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), and they also lack true roots, stems, or leaves. These plants cannot efficiently absorb and store water (which fundamental for survival), and thereby the success of these plants in establishing and reproducing in the ecosystems of the Central Valley is limited to their physiological tolerance to desiccation. Moreover, non-vascular plants may also exhibit primitive traits related to their reproductive cycle (e.g., a flagellated sperm) that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Answers

Answer:

solute membrane

Explanation:

Kidney is the main organ which is responsible for helping to keep the water concentration equal on each side of the cell membrane.

What is Kidney?

The kidneys are the main organs in the body which remove waste products and extra water from the blood in the form of urine and also help to keep the chemicals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium balanced in the body. The kidneys also secrete hormones which help control blood pressure and stimulate bone marrow to make red blood cells.

Kidneys maintain water concentration in the body. Kidneys maintain homeostasis through osmosis. Osmosis is the phenomenon of movement of water or fluid particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

According to the endosymbiotic theory, why was it adaptive for the larger (host) cell to keep the engulfed cell alive, rather than digesting it as food select all that apply

Answers

Answer:

It provides ATP.

Explanation:

It is adaptive for the larger host cell to keep the engulfed cell alive, instead of digesting it as food because the engulfed cell provides energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the host cell. The larger host cell is able to survive in anaerobic conditions with the help of engulfed cell alive so that's why we can conclude that the larger host cell keep the engulfed cell alive instead of killing it and used as a food source.

In mouse, genes X, Y and Z are on chromosome 2. The map of genes X, Y and Z is:

X--------20mu--------Y---------------30mu---------Z.

You cross an individual with genotype XXYYZZ to an individual with genotype xxyyzz, and F1 progeny are collected. Assume interference between regions (X-Y and Y-Z) is 40%. You then perform a cross between an F1 individual and an individual with genotype xYz/xyz. Among 1000 progeny, how many of them will be of the genotype xxyyzz?

Answers

Answer:

36 individuals xxyyzz

Explanation:

Available data:

X-Y = 20MUY-Z = 30MUCross: XXYYZZ   x    xyyzzF1= XxYyZzI = 40%2nd Cross: XxYyZz  x  xxYyzzF2 = 1000 individuals

We need to know how many individuals from the F2 are going to be xxyyzz

xxyyzz genotype is the result of a double recombinant event.

First, we need to analyze the given information:

→ Distances between genes

The genetic distance result from multiplying the recombination frequency of each region by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU). So, if we have the genetic distance we can divide it by 100 and get the recombination frequency:

Let us say that region I is the distance between X and Y. And region II is the distance between Y and Z.

GD = genetic distance

RF = Recombination frequency

GD (X-Y) = RF x 100

20MU = RF x 100

20MU/100 = RF

0.2 = RF (Region I)

GD (Y-Z) = RF x 100

30MU = RF x 100

30MU/100 = RF

0.3 = RF (Region II)      

Now we have the recombination frequency of Region I and Region II.

→ Interference    

Knowing the interference value will let us know the value of the coefficient of coincidence, which will also lead us to the number of individuals xxyyzz.

I = 40%

I = 1 - CC   ⇒ CC = coefficient of coincidence

Clearing this equation gives us the value of CC

CC = 1 - I

CC = 1 - 40% = 1 - 0.4

CC = 0.6

To calculate the coefficient of coincidence, CC, we can also use the next formula:

CC = observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency

Now, we are interested in knowing the value of the observed double recombinant frequency.

Note:  

observed double recombinant frequency = total number of observed double recombinant individuals/total number of individuals expected double recombinant frequency = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

So, to get the value of the observed double recombinant frequency, first, we need to get the value of the expected double recombinant frequency. And we can do it because we already have the recombination frequencies in both regions.

expected double recombinant frequency = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II

- Recombination Frequency - RI = 0.2

- Recombination Frequency  - RII = 0.3

expected double recombinant frequency = 0.2 x 0.3

expected double recombinant frequency = 0.06 = EDRF

Now that we know the value of the CC and the expected DRF, we can get the observed double recombinant frequency.

CC = observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency

- CC = 0.6

- EDRF = 0.06

CC x expected double recombinant frequency = observed double recombinant frequency

0.6 x 0.06 = observed double recombinant frequency

0.036 = observed double recombinant frequency = ODRF

Finally, as this is a frequency, we need to multiply it by the total number of individuals in the F2 to get the number of observed double recombinant individuals.

- ODRF = 0.036

- N = 1000

Double recombinant individuals = 0.036 x 1000 = 36 individuals xxyyzz.

Revisit your photo memoir essay and research a historical event that occurred during that time period. In lieu of research, you may use primary sources such as family letters or documents that could be used to provide background for your essay. Rework the photo memoir essay to incorporate the historically significant information into a new essay that argues a point based on the graphic and textual sources you gathered. Cite the sources both implicitly and explicitly within your essay.Here is the memoir I wroteIt is what it is. Though its a cliche phrase, this is the photograph that Ive selected to discuss. It may sound trite, this quote possesses a deeper meaning. When life seems to be out of control, it causes me to feel overwhelmed. Its an instinct that I immediately want to take matters into my own hands, but in some situations, this is not feasible. This quote represents a deeper meaning that I cannot control things that are beyond me. Furthermore, the topic of discussion will revolve around It Is What It Is. Its hard to deny that when situations in our life don't go our way or even how we had planned we don't get upset. In my case, this situation can ruin my day. For example, before a ski race I used to have an expectation for myself, and I would give my best performance on the hill. Sometimes I would come up short, and this is what used to upset me. Although at the time I didn't realize that I did everything in my control to win, so at the end of the day I was racing myself. How does this tie back to It Is What It Is? Well, it seems that increasingly often you hear the phrase, It is what it is. I was taking the phrase to mean, Its not this and its not that; its something more subtle that I dont have a name for, and Im ok with that. This actively demonstrates that you're ok with things not going your way, and this can lead to better self-development. By letting things hang in an uncategorized state in their mind they may slowly come to a richer, more nuanced understanding of it, which may lead to a new insight or invention.Although there are benefits to It Is What It Is, the phrase comes with downfalls. For example, when you do have the power to change something going wrong, and you use the phrase it may come more across as giving up. Another way of saying this would be if somebody needs your help, and you have the power to help them, although you decide not to because you think the outcome is inevitable. Even though there is this downfall it does not ruin the phrase. You just have to use it at the correct time. For instance, the correct time to use this phrase would be when something is out of your control, and you are struggling to cope with it. The phrase wasn't meant to give up, it's less meant to deal with it. This phrase oddly enough has helped me cope with things that are out of my control. To sum up, everything that has been stated so far It Is What It Is is an expression used to characterize a frustrating or challenging situation that a person believes cannot be changed and must just be accepted. In saying this it demonstrates more regard for I won't let something out of my control affect me.Help me understand what to do?
