One function of liver cells is lipogenesis, the process of converting excess dietary carbohydrates to lipids. What organelle in

the liver cell performs this function?

Answer:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum performs this function.

Explanation:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle made of connected membranes. Its function is to synthesize lipids that the cell needs for different activities. When there is an excess of carbohydrates, this organelle transforms them into lipids to storage them and use them when the body needs them.

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%

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Answer is D, Heart rate monitor.

Explanation:

It is known to be true that during exercise, the rate of the heart beat increases, and this is good for our heart to keep on functioning properly.

A heart rate monitor is usually a chest strap device to measure and sometimes record the rate of the heart's activities such as rate and rhythm. This device is with electrode sensors for transmitting heart rate to an app. Example of a heart rate monitor is Holter monitor.

Black mice and tan mice are native species that are observed in a particular region. Human habitation in the region caused an in
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the availability of food resources for black mice and brown mice will decrease.</u>

<em>Since the food requirements of the black mice are the same as that of the invasive brown mice, the available food supply that used to be only for the black mice would now be shared by the two strains of mice. Hence, the available food for the two groups of mice will naturally decrease.</em>

There is no sufficient information to conclude that the population of tan mice will decrease, hence, option B is incorrect.

The black mice and tan mice have different food requirements going by the information available in the illustration, hence, both cannot compete for food resources. Option C is, therefore, incorrect. In the same vein, option D is incorrect because the tan mice have different food requirements from the brown mice.

<u>The only correct option is A.</u>
