The Volumetric flask is used for preparing liquids with volumes of high precision. The Filter Flask is also known as the A Büchner flask. It is like the Erlenmeyer but this one is thick-walled and has a special arm in the side. It is used for filtering liquid.
Answer: Individuals with a high concentration of cysteine in their urine, show symptoms of cystinuria.
Explanation:
Cystinuria is an hereditary and rare disease in which stones of an amino acid called cystine form mostly in the kidney but also in the ureter and bladder. This is a dimeric amino acid which is formed by two cysteine molecules linked by a disulfide bond. L-cysteine is a non-essential sulfuric amino acid found in a wide variety of foods, some of which are proteins. <u>This condition is passed from parents to children so it is hereditary, the person must inherit the defective gene from both parents. </u>
Cystinuria is caused when there is a high concentration of cystine in the urine. Normally, most cystine dissolves, enters the kidneys and returns to the bloodstream. <u>However, people with cystinuria have the genetic defect that interferes with this process. </u>This condition is due to a defective transport of cystine in the apical membrane of the intestinal epithelium and proximal renal tubule. The result is an absence of cystine reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule producing an excess of cystine in urine and with the consequent formation of kidney stones. Cystine stones are very difficult to remove by lithotripsy unlike the rest of the stones. Therefore, a non-invasive therapy should be carried out to prevent the recurrence of stone formation. This therapy would be based on a high intake of liquids, alkalization of urine, and use of chelating agents. In order to preserve kidney function, a combination of these three therapeutic measures is necessary to reduce both the recurrence and the morbidity of the disease.
Muskrats eat oak trees and if the oak tree had a disease and all of them died. then the muskrat would have to relie on someething else to eat because muskrats eat oak trees.
Answer:
Genotypic and Phenotypic ratios → 1:1:1:1
- 25% of the progeny is expected to be SsWw, exhibiting spotted skin and wooly hair, SsWw
- 25% of the progeny is expected to be Ssww, exhibiting spotted skin and non-wooly hair, Ssww
- 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssWw, exhibiting non- spotted skin and wooly hair, ssWw
- 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssww, exhibiting non-spotted skin and non-wooly hair, ssww
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s)
- wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w)
- Cross: heterozygous spotted, non-wooly mammoth with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted mammoth.
Parentals) Ssww x ssWw
Gametes) Sw, Sw, sw, sw
sW, sW, sw, sw
Punnett square) Sw Sw sw sw
sW SsWw SsWw ssWw ssWw
sW SsWw SsWw ssWw ssWw
sw Ssww Ssww ssww ssww
sw Ssww Ssww ssww ssww
F1) 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be SsWw, exhibiting spotted skin and wooly hair
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Ssww, exhibiting spotted skin and non-wooly hair
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssWw, exhibiting non- spotted skin and wooly hair
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssww, exhibiting non-spotted skin and non-wooly hair.
Genotypic and Phenotypic ratios → 1:1:1:1
This is because twilight or mesopelagic zone (extending from 200 meters to 1,000 meters) is the zone that contains the thermocline.
A thermocline or the thermal layer is a layer in an ocean or lake where the temperature changes more rapidly with depth than in the other layers. The thermocline in twilight zone divides the upper mixed layer from the calm deep water below.
