7. Why are adult sponges said to be sessile animals? |

Biology
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]2 years ago

Answer:

All adult sponges are sessile, meaning they are attached to some surface. Since they cannot move, sponges cannot pursue their food. Instead, they are filter feeders, meaning they obtain their food by straining the water for small bits of food like bacteria, algae, or protozoans.

larisa [96]
Large central vacuoles, chloroplasts, and cell walls are only found in plant cells.

Large central vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, but they also maintain the plants' structures.

Cell walls also maintain structure and rigidity.

Chloroplasts are used in the process of photosynthesis, which only occurs in plants.

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.

In the pedigree that is shown, which represents Irene's allele combination?
Greeley [361]

The red-green color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. The females are not affected unless both the X chromosomes have the affected allele. Mostly, the females are the carriers, and the males are affected as they have only one X chromosome. In the given pedigree, the father of Irene have the normal allele, while her mother is a carrier. However, Irene is neither a carrier nor affected. This means that she carries normal alleles on both X chromosomes. Hence, her allele combination is X^{H} X^{H} .

If 84 J of work are exerted to pull a wagon, how much force does it take to pull the wagon 7.0 m? Round your answer to the neare
nirvana33 [79]
Work is said to be done when an object moves due to a force applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled due to the force. It is expressed as:

W = Force x distance

W = 84 J = F (7.0 m)
F = 12 N

Hope this answers the question.
