Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.

B. Eggs are known to contain cholesterol, which is a lipid. Did your experiment results indicate a presence of lipids in the alb
Darya [45]

Answer:

According to the result recorded, there was no cholesterol in the albumin solution. This is probably because the cholesterol is in the egg yolk and not the egg white. In order to get a positive response on the presence of cholesterol in eggs, an egg yolk albumin stock needs to be prepared. So using the same procedure as before and only replacing the egg yolk for the egg white, prepare a 0.5 mL of egg yolk with 4.5 mL distilled water mixture in a test tube. Follow the steps given in the lab manual to check for presence of lipids in this albumin stock. Take a filter paper and add one drop of Sudan III solution onto it, let it dry and then place a drop of the stock prepared and analyze if the color transfer happens.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Galactosemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to metabolize the sugar galactose. People with galactosemia
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.

How is the message from the brain sent in response to the stimuli?
ivolga24 [154]
When a stimulus is being detected, this stimulus is being sent to the brain through the sensory neuron, going to the spinal cord then to the brain. The brain then interprets these stimuli, and responds to it using the motor neurons. These are the neurons that are responsible in our actions depending on the stimuli we are exposed to. Hope this helps.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. 1. Rod cells are depolarized in the dark. (Click to select) 2. Glutamate binds
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1. true, 2. true, 3. false, and 4. true.

Explanation:

1. Rod cells are the photoreceptors present in the retina that are hyperpolarized not depolarized in dark due to sodium ions efflux.

2. Depolarisation of the bipolar cell of the retina by glutamate release by rods and cones.

3. The adaption according to the light is known as a light adaptation which takes place due to a large part of photochemical in both rods and cones which is reduced to retinal and opsins.

4. when the light reaction takes place retinal converted to opsin

In your own words, explain why a virus such as the rhinovirus, which relies on close contact to spread, might evolve to favor le
Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
