The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Madison lives near the ocean. She’s formed a hypothesis that increased concentrations of salt in the air speeds the corrosion of certain metals. If Madison plans to test this hypothesis, she will have to deal with the following variables in her experiment: dependent variable: independent variable: one possible confounding variable:

Answer:

A variable, which is under study or observation in an experiment and changes concerning the independent variable is termed as a dependent variable. Based on the given experiment, Madison is checking the influence on the progression of corrosion of metals concerning the variations in the concentration of salt. This shows that the extent of corrosion of metals is a dependent variable.  

A variable, which can be controlled or monitored like increased or decreased, and one is familiar with is termed as an independent variable. This variable is not affected by another variable, like a change in the concentration of salt is the air may exhibit an effect on the corrosion of the metal, however, the process that is, the corrosion of metals does not affect the concentration of salt in the air. Hence, the independent variable is the salt concentration in air.  

A variable that possesses the tendency to change or influence both the independent and dependent variables is known as a confounding variable. If the airspeed is higher than it will carry the salt particles at a brisk rate and speed resulting in enhanced corrosion of metals. Likewise, if the speed of air is slower, there will be a reduction in the corrosion of metals. Hence, the confounding variable is the speed of air.

Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

Dangerous decreases in respiration, heart rate, and body temperature typically begin with a BAC of approximately __________ .
liberstina [14]

Answer: c. 0.15%

Explanation:

The blood alcohol concentration or BAC refers to the percentage of alcohol present in the bloodstream. The value of blood alcohol concentration of 0.15% is very high. It will affect the balance of voluntary muscles, walking and talking will also become difficult. The person will experience a severe increase in the rate of heart, the body temperature will rise, the person will experience irregular breathing and the bladder control will become weak.

What type of receptors embedded in the urinary bladder wall initiate the micturition reflex?
sasho [114]
Answer is stretch receptors.

Stretch receptors respond to the distention of muscle wall of the bladder and are neurologically linked to the medulla. Stretch receptors in the bladder signal the parasympathetic nervous system to stimulate muscarine receptors, present in the detrusor muscle, to make him contract. This leads to the expulsion of urine.
