Answer 1

Answer:

A- Slippery Slope

Explanation:

A slippery slope fallacy is when someone claims, without proper evidence, that an action will lead to an often catastrophic consequence via a series of events.

Here, the statement claims that if semi-automatics are banned, so will handguns and rifles, however, doesn't provide any evidence that this is the case.

Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized. If all of these genes are on the same chromosome, and there is no recombination, how many different genotypes will occur in the F2

Answers

Answer:

2 genotypes: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee

Explanation:

The law of segregation (also called Mendel's First Law) describes how genes on different chromosomes segregate into gametes independently of each other. Moreover, recombination (also known as crossing over) is the interchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. In this case, the five genes are on the same chromosome (i.e., they are linked together and do not segregate) and there is no recombination, thereby they are inherited as a haplotype block to the next generation:

- Genotypes parental (P) lines: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee

- Cross P1: ABCDE X abcde

- Genotype F1: AaBbCcDdEe (100%)

- Gametes F1: ABCDE; abcde

- Genotypes F2: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee (ratio 1:1)

Match the following description with the appropriate type of respiration:

a. occurs in the mitochondria
b. resting muscles depend on this type of respiration
c. lactic acid builds up in muscle fibers
d. rapidly produces ATP for short time periods
e. produces large quantities of ATP but takes longer to synthesize

1. anaerobic respiration
2. aerobic respiration

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. c, and d.

2. a, b, and e.

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is the short and quick way of producing energy, however, it produces less amount of energy than aerobic respiration and produces lactic acid as a byproduct. It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and working or acting muscles depend on such respiration.

Aerobic respiration is the main and important respiration process that takes place in mitochondria and it takes time to produce ATPs that are much more than anaerobic respiration. Resting muscles get energy by this type of respiration.

Which of the following is an example of an enzymatic cycle?

Answers

Answer:

Catabolism

Explanation:

The process of catabolism degrades the bacterial and fungal enzymes into simple inorganic molecules.

A substance, without being a reactant, which speeds up a chemical process is referred to as a catalyst. Enzymes are known as catalysts for biological reactions in living organisms. Although ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules behave as enzymes, they are usual proteins. Enzymes.

Enzymes carry out the essential role of reducing the activated energy of a reaction — that is, the amount of energy needed to start the process. Enzymes work by attaching and retaining reactant molecules so that the chemical bonding and bonding activities are carried out more easily.

In eukaryotes, miR-5 is a microRNA with sequence complementarity to the 3’UTR of the mRNA transcript encoded by the UCD gene. The UCD gene encodes for a protein that acts as an allosteric activator of the protein p101. The p101 protein is a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) which is an enzyme that methylates DNA when the protein is in its active form.
A) In a lung cancer cell line, the p101 protein is overly active leading to misregulation of gene expression. In these lung cancer cells which of the following would be a correct prediction in regards to miR-5? [choose ALL that apply, note that incorrect selections will deduct points]
A) The gene encoding miR-5 is in a region of chromatin with hypoacetylation
B) The gene encoding miR-5 is in a region of chromatin with hyperacetylation
C) The gene encoding miR-5 in a region of euchromatin
D) The gene encoding miR-5 in a region of heterochromatin
E) The miR-5 transcript is translated at high levels
F) The miR-5 transcript is activating translation of the UCD gene
B) A different lung cancer cell line is found to have significantly decreased amounts of DNA methylation. Which of the following could explain why there is decreased DNA methylation in this cell line? [choose ALL that apply, note that incorrect selections will deduct points]
A) increased amounts of the p101 protein due to low levels of miR-5
B) increased amounts of the UCD protein due to high levels of miR-5
C) decreased amounts of the UCD protein due to low levels of miR-5
D) the absence of the UCD protein due to miR-5 inhibiting translation of the UCD mRNA transcript
E) the absence of the p101 protein due to miR-5 inhibiting transcription of the p101 mRNA transcript

Answers

Answer:

A) A) The gene encoding miR-5 is in a region of chromatin with hypoacetylation.  

D) The gene encoding miR-5 in a region of heterochromatin.

B) D) the absence of the UCD protein due to miR-5 inhibiting translation of the UCD mRNA transcript

Explanation:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA sequences (approximately 20-24 nucleotides in length) that regulate gene expression by RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms. These sequences (miRNAs) bind by base complementarity to messenger RNAs and thus inhibit protein translation and/or trigger mRNA degradation. In this case, miR-5 binds to the 3’UTR of the mRNA transcript of the UCD gene, thereby inhibiting/slowing protein UCD synthesis. The UCD protein is an allosteric regulator that binds and activates the expression of the p101 protein, thereby the miR-5 RNAi pathway also indirectly decreases the expression of the p101 gene. Moreover, hypoacetylation is an epigenetic mark generally associated with gene silencing (heterochromatin is a transcriptionally inactive state of chromatin).

From a chemical view, how is an amino acid is being recognized by its specific aminoacyl tRNA synthetase?

Which of the following statements is false? Choose one: A. Some Bcl2 family members promote apoptosis, whereas others inhibit apoptosis. B. Bax and Bak are death-promoting members of the Bcl2 family that induce the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol. C. Some death-inhibiting members of the Bcl2 family inhibit apoptosis by blocking cytochrome c release from mitochondria. D. The death-promoting members of the Bcl2 family include Bcl2 itself.

Answers

Answer: The statement that is FALSE is D (The death-promoting members of the Bcl2 family include Bcl2 itself.)

Explanation:

Apoptosis is a process found in multicellular organisms whereby cells follows a order of events which eventually leads to their death without releasing harmful substances into the surrounding area of the cells. Through this process, old cells, unnecessary cells, and unhealthy cells are eliminated from the body.

The process of apoptosis can be regulated by cell regulator proteins such as Bcl-2 family.

Bcl-2 stands for B-cell lymphoma 2 which are encoded in human cells by BCL2 gene. The Bcl-2 family are capable of regulating apoptosis by either inducing it or inhibiting it.

Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, PREVENT apoptosis by preventing the release of mitochondrial apoptogenic factors such as cytochrome c and AIF (apoptosis-inducing factor) into the cytoplasm

Part of the Bcl-2 family is the Bax and Bak and they are the core regulators of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. They PROMOTE apoptosis by inducing the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol. Therefore, the death-promoting members of the Bcl2 family does not include Bcl2 itself.

Erythrocytes have no nuclei. Without nuclei, erythrocytes can carry a higher amount of haemoglobin explain how this is an advantage in exchanging and carrying oxygen

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - hemoglobin binds with respiratory gases such as oxygen so more hemoglobin will carry more oxygen .

Explanation:

Red blood cells have adapted the trait of having no nucleus for several reasons but the major reason is to increase the amount of hemoglobin so this can carry more oxygen to various parts of the body from lungs. If there will be more hemoglobin then it will allows RBC to transfer more oxygen.

Hemoglobin is the respiratory pigment that has four heme group, containing iron ion, arround globin group, each iron ion in the heme can bind to one oxygen molecule; So one molecule of hemoglobin can transport four oxygen molecules as it binds with oxygen.

The locus B on the X chromosome of a malaria-carrying mosquito shows a 49% recombination rate with respect to the locus M. Since a recombination rate of 50% is essentially indistinguishable from independent assortment, you might be tempted to look for a locus that falls between B and M. Before you decide to do all that work, you run a chi square test to determine the P value of your experiment.

Required:
What range of P values would tell you that you should accept the conclusion that locus B and locus M are, indeed, 49mu apart and that another locus is not necessary?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - P = 0.45

Explanation:

The Chi-square test is a test that determines the assorted genes independently. Here p-values used to make conclusions in significance testing.

If the p value is less than the significance level we expect or choose, then this null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. It p value is greater than or equal to the significance level, then we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

So in this case, as the recombination rate is 49% so the p value which satisfies the conclusion will be around 0.45 and values near to it.

Alizarin yellow is a pH indicator that transitions from red to yellow when the pH falls from a value of 11 to below 10. Why is phenol red a better pH indicator than alizarin yellow for detecting a change in pH of broth containing pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - acidic conditions wouldn't trigger a change in the color of Alizarin yellow.

Explanation:

The growth of E. coli generally occurs at neutral pH, however, its growth is normal at acidic conditions as well.  The change in the growth of  E. coli is not able to detect by alizarin.

The phenol red turns yellow in the presence of an acid, and the change in pH in an alkaline environment can be detected by the red color of phenol red. Growth of E.coli will grow in pH of 10-12 . But, very slowly. The color change in alizarin is also apparent at pH 10.2 to 12 only.

Evolution is the process through which species change over time. It occurs through the accumulation of genetic variations and natural selection. The primate family tree shows the evolutionary relationships between different primate species, including orangutans and gorillas. Option C is the correct answer.

Orangutans and gorillas share a common ancestor in their evolutionary history. This means that at some point in the past, there was a species that gave rise to both orangutans and gorillas. Over time, as the common ancestor of orangutans and gorillas diverged into separate lineages, each species developed its own unique traits and characteristics. Despite their distinct characteristics, orangutans and gorillas still share certain genetic similarities due to their common ancestry. These similarities can be observed in their DNA sequences.
