Answer:

DNA Mismatch repair.  

Explanation:

DNA Mismatch repair is a form of excision repair that corrects mismatched base pairs resulting from replication errors and heteroduplexes produced during genetic recombination. this repair is engineered to recognize and repair erroneous insertion, deletion, and mis-incorporation of bases that can arise as well as repairing various types of DNA damage. Mismatch repair is also strand-specific in that it majorly works on the newly sythesized strand by identifying the strand first and then correcting any form of errors.

white blood cell with fragments in its cytoplasm a. agranulocyte b. granulocyte c. thrombocyte d. platelet
Serjik [45]

Answer:

B. Granulocyte

Explanation:

Granulocyte is the type of white blood cell with fragments in its cytoplasm. These fragments usually help in the digesting the cells of the foreign body(pathogenic organisms).

There are three main types of Granulocytes which are known as the Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. They all perform variety of functions ranging from phagocytosis to cell lysis of foreign bodies.

Phat1 = 9/142
Phat 2 = 5/268
Phat 3 14/410
Test statistics = (Phat 1 - Phat 2) / (Square root of (phat × (1- phat))
times the square root of (1/n1 + 1/n2))
Test statistics = 2.373
P- value = 2× (1- normal cdf (2.373, 0, 1))

Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom
mash [69]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.

Find two other examples of compounds that biomagnify. Explain how each compound and/or toxin enters the biosphere and what impac
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1. DDT (

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) with molecular formula; C14H9Cl5

2. Lead

Explanation:

1. DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an example of compounds that biomagnifies in the biosphere. DDT is used as pesticides. When DDT is sprayed on plants to kill their pests, part of it is accumulated within the plants.

However, when primary consumers feeds on the affected plants, DDT is passed on to them and then to the secondary consumer in that sequence until it get to the top of the trophic level.

Effects of DDT have been seen in many organisms including birds and humans. The effects seen in humans is quite minimal to that of insects and birds. DDT causes lost of many insects and young birds. In humans, it causes vomiting, seizures etc.

2. Lead: it enters the biosphere by absorption and consumption means. Humans through the use of lead paint, smoking of cigarettes, use of cosmetics and combustion of coal accumulates lead in their bodies. Lead can't be synthesize by human, therefore it accumulates and biomagnify within their systems.

The effects of lead in human include; vomiting, stroke and abdominal pains. In tough scenario, it causes immune system deterioration and cardiovascular diseases.
