pentagon [3]

Again, imagine that your liver, which has a volume of 2 liters, developed from a single embryonic precursor cell with a volume o

f 1000 μm3, or 1 x 10-12 liters. You previously calculated how many cell division cycles would be required for the precursor cell to produce your mature liver.
What if the control of liver organogenesis were a bit faulty, and the process went exactly 2 cell division cycles beyond this? What then would be the volume of your liver in liters?

I found that the answer to the first question is 41, but I can't figure out the second part.

Answer:

41 cycles

If cell division went 2 cell division cycle beyond the  precursor; we have 43 cycles

The volume would be = 17.59 Litres

Explanation:

From the given information:

The number of cells in the liver that developed from an embryonic precursor is roughly \dfrac{2}{10^{-12}}= 2\times10^{12}

The number of cell cycles needed to produce 2\times 10^{12  cells is:

= log_2(2\times 10^{12})

= 40.86

\simeq 41

Thus, nearly 41 cycles of cell division are required to form the mature liver.

Now;

Suppose 2 extra cell division cycles took place;

The total number of cells would be 2⁴³ = 1.759 × 10¹³; &

The volume would be =  1.759 × 10¹³ × 10⁻¹²

The volume would be = 17.59 Litres

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

Heavy rains and mudslides cause a river to change course, isolating two groups of lizards from one another. If they remain isola
Stells [14]

If they remain isolated for a long period of time, the two groups will probably diverge genetically, and may result in speciation.

Genetic divergence is the process whereby two groups of the same ancestral species acquire autonomous genetic changes through time, usually after the groups have been separated reproductively for some period of time.

Speciation is an evolutionary process whereby populations develop to become different species.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

c. shady forests.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. freshwater aquatic environments.

b. sunny, xeric habitats.

c. shady forests.

d. habitats with very cold winters.

e. oceans.

Angiosperms are plants that have stems, roots and leaves. Moreover, these plants have seeds in a flower. Usually, angiosperm eggs are fertilized through pollination in a flower. Flowers have both male and female reproductive organs. Based on the analysis of the nucleotide sequences of genes, it appears that the ancestors of angiosperms were adapted for survival in shady forests.

The world's high rate of coal consumption is causing many negative impacts on the environment. Solving this problem involves a c
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Answer: b. developing more efficient methods of mining coal  

Coal is a combustible black or brownish black sedimentary rock. Coal is produced by the dead plant matter. It is a fossil fuels that is used for generating electricity in the thermal power plants, used as cooking fuel, and fuel in automobiles. The burning of the coal results in the liberation of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide gases in the environment. These gases are responsible for causing the air pollution.

b. developing more efficient methods of mining coal is not a conservation tactic related to coal consumption because the more the efficient mining will promote the excavation of the coal which will further contribute to its extensive consumption and air pollution.
