The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.
The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.
Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.
Answer:
If the person has another meal after 5 pm, the glucose level in the blood will increase, and the insulin level too.
Several hours after the meal, the glucose levels will decrease, and the glucagon levels will increase.
Explanation:
When a person ingests another meal after 5 p.m, the glucose levels in the blood will increase, as the body does not need all that glucose right now the insulin levels in the blood will increase to store glucose for later. The glucagon levels after a meal are very low because the aim is to store glucose not use it.
Several hours after the meal, the body needs the energy to keep operating so it will use the glucose that was stored, to do this, the levels of glucagon in blood have to increase and release the glucose, and the levels of insulin in blood have to decrease.
Answer:
Volume= 4 cm³
Density= 2 g/cm³
Explanation:
We have the following data:
volume= V= 8 cm³
mass= m= 16 g
The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:
density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³
When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:
V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³
m= 16 g/2= 8 g
But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:
d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³
The right answer is C.
A genetic disease is called autosomal dominant transmission when
:
* The morbid allele ("sick" version, mutated of the gene in question) is on a non-sexual chromosome (neither X nor Y).
* The presence of a single morbid allele is sufficient for the disease to express itself.
The morbid allele is transmitted by either the father or the mother (or both, if they have the same inherited autosomal dominant genetic disease). Anyone with one of their affected parents is affected.
Jackson-Weiss syndrome is indeed an autosomal dominant disease characterized by a malformation of the feet, craniosynostosis of varying degrees, facial abnormalities, enlargement of the big toes and normal hands.
