A raven's claws are made out of the protein keratin. Describe how this fact is related to the raven's genes.

Answer:

<u><em>The proteins that are made in an organism are encoded by particular genes. </em></u>

Every cell in an organism has the same chromosomes and the same genotype. But still, every cell of the body will have different functions because of different proteins being produced. The genes which encode for a particular protein might be active in one cell but suppressed in another type of cell.

<u><em>For example, the genes which code for the protein keratin are active in the raven's claws but inactive in other parts or cells of the raven's body. </em></u>

Drag each label to the correct location on the image.
Fittoniya [83]

The correct matches are:

1. Sea level (0 m) - 100%

2. Mid-level elevation (4,500 m) - 57%

3. Peak (8,850 m) - 33%

The level of oxygen in the atmosphere depends a lot on the elevation. The smaller the elevation, the higher the oxygen level, and vice versa, the higher the elevation, the lower the oxygen level. So we have a situation in which the oxygen level is the highest at 0 elevation, or rather at sea level. As we go to higher elevations, let say to around 4,500 m, the oxygen level is significantly dropped, which makes it difficult for breathing. If we go even on higher elevation, like 8,850 m, than the oxygen level will much lower, and a human will need to undergo intense long training and also carry oxygen with him/her in order to survive.

Imagine you are a red blood cell sitting in the right atria of the heart. Write a paragraph that describes what happens to this
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

A red blood cell, sitting in the right atria of the heart is chocolate-brown in color since its a deoxygenated red blood cell with carbon dioxide rather than oxygen in its hemoglobin.

 

First

The tricuspid valve pumps it through the right ventricle

Secondly

pulmonary valve pumps it from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.

Then

In the alveoli of the lungs, gas exchange occurs during pulmonary circulation

The end product is oxyhemoglobin( bright red colour) I.e oxygenated blood

The next step

pulmonary veins is the means whereby the red blood cell go to the left atria from the pulmonary circulation through the aortic valve

to mitral valve then to the aorta and systemic circulation

Therefore

oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide during systemic circulation indicating a end to cellular respiration

Lastly

It's transported back to the right atrium of the heart completing the cardiac cycle.

If all the macromolecules are made mainly of the elements CHO, how are they different?
Elanso [62]
The four main classes of organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that are essential to the proper functioning of all living things are known as polymers or macromolecules. All of these compounds are built primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios. This gives each compound different properties. Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. They are made of smaller subunits called nionosaccharides. Monosaccharides have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Monosaccharides or simple sugars include glucose, galactose, and fructose. Although their chemical formulas are the same, they have different structural formulas. These simple sugars combine to make disaccharides (double sugars like sucrose) and polysaccharides (long chains like cellulose, chitin, and glycogen). Color code the glucose molecule on this worksheet (carbon-black, hydrogenyellow, and oxygen-red). Use your textbook to help draw the structural formulas for fructose and galactose:

Marianna [84]

Answer:The image to this question is attached.

Answer is the ovary

Explanation: the process by which egg is produced is called oogenesis. It involves the mitotic division of the primodial germ cells to from a oogonia. The oogonia becomes enveloped by follicle cells . Oogonia grows to become the primary oocyte. Each primary oocyte is diploid. It then undergoes the first meiotic division to form the secondary oogonia and a smaller polar nody. all this process of development occurs in the ovary.

After it is released from the ovary, fertilization occurs and it undergoes the second meiotic division to from a polar body and an ovum.

The primary oocyte however remains in prophase of meiosis l throughout childhood.
