The kidneys perform several important functions in the human body. One of these is to regulate the amount of water that makes up

the liquid part of blood. If too much water is present, the kidney will increase the amount of urine produced and lower the amount of liquid water in the blood. If the amount of water is too low, the kidney will decrease the amount of urine produced in order to conserve water. A person spends several days in a hot, dry desert environment with little water available to drink. Which statement BEST summarizes how the kidneys will function during this time? A) the amount of urine produced will increase to allow the body to eliminate heat B) the amount of urine produced will increase in order to eliminate waste products from the body C) the amount of urine produced will decrease in order to maintain the proper amount of water in the bloodstream D) the amount of urine produced will decrease because the body will not be producing waste products during this time

C) The urine amount will be decreased because your body needs to preserve that water and keep it in your body and bloodstream.

You are holding a coarse-grained crystalline rock with a texture that can be best described as having "interlocking crystals". t
dusya [7]

This rock can be classified as: an igneous rock.

Igneous rocks are made up of randomly arranged interlocking crystals and the important minerals that can be found in igneous rocks are feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and mafic minerals. All of these minerals are important in the formation of almost all igneous rocks, and they are basic to their classification.

3. Two black rabbits thought to be homozygous for coat colour were mated and produced a litter that contained all black babies.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Cross each to a rabbit who you know is homozygous - i.e. a white rabbit. If there are any white offspring you know this is the heterozygote.

Explanation:

Heterozygous individuals are those with 2 different alleles of a gene. Homozygous individuals have have 2 alleles that are the same.

Imagine the allele for coat color is B black, or b white. If you cross 2 individuals who are homozygous for the black gene (BB), they would only produce black rabbits in the F1 (BB). If you cross the F1, they could only produce BB rabbits in the F2.

However, if you cross a heterozygous rabbit with a homozygous black rabbit (Bb x BB), you would get either BB or Bb rabbits in the F1. However, intercrossing them could produce BB, Bb, or bb rabbits. Therefore, white rabbits can be produced.

You know that white rabbits are bb. So if you are unsure about the genotype of the black rabbit, you can cross it with a white rabbit (either BB x bb or Bb x bb). If any white rabbits appear in the F1, you know there must be a b allele in the black rabbit genotype, so that rabbit must be heterozygous.

What situation best represents how DNA sequencing, PCR, and gene probes might be used together? Multiple Choice Scientists might
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Scientists might replicate a strand of DNA using PCR before sequencing it. Once the sequence is known, they can produce a corresponding gene probe

Explanation:

PCR refers to the polymerase chain reaction that amplifies the small sample of DNA into multiple copies in three steps. These steps are denaturation of sample DNA to produce single-stranded template strand, binding of primer to the template and elongation. The multiple copies of the sample DNA are then used to decipher its sequence using various sequencing methods.

Once the sequence of the sample DNA is known, the short, single-stranded DNA molecules that are complementary to the specific sequence of DNA are formed. These single-stranded DNA molecules are called DNA probe and are used to detect the specific nucleotide sequence in some other sample DNA.
