Mosquitoes have r reproductive strategy while elephants have k reproductive strategy. R strategy requires that the organism reproduces exponentially while they have a short life span and little care for offspring by parents. K strategy have low reproductive rates while their organisms have long life-spans and offsprings are cared for by their parents.

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.

Adult elephants have few natural predators. However, baby elephants are too small to defend themselves from predators. Therefore, adults protect their young through herding and by raising them until they are strong enough to survive on their own. Mosquitoes produce a large number of offspring to make up for their short life span and the high risk of predation.

When making yogurt, bacteria and milk are mixed together and set in a warm area. The container is sealed and no gasses are allow
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

When making yogurt the tart flavor get in the end is more likely because the bacteria have carried out a type of respiration named lactic acid fermentation (option C).

Explanation:

The process of obtaining yogurt from whole milk involves the association of the bacterial species Streptococcus and Lactobacillus. In order to carry out the lactic acid fermentation that produces yogurt, the bacteria act in a different way:

  1. Streptococcus is in charge of removing the oxygen from the milk product.
  2. Lactobacillus promotes the conversion of lactose sugar into lactic acid.

This fermentation process  leads to the conversion of milk into a coagulated and tart flavor product.

Other options are not correct because:

<em>     A.  </em><u><em>Photosynthesis </em></u><em>: is the process that occurs in plants to obtain chemical energy from sunlight.</em>

<em>      B.  </em><u><em>Alcoholic fermentation</em></u><em>:  in this chemical process alcohol is obtained from the fermentation of a sugar.</em>

<em>      D.  </em><u><em>Aerobic cellular respiration</em></u><em>: does not involve fermentation, but the series of processes that convert glucose into energy.</em>

"Consider the following cross: Gl/gL x gl/gl Which combination(s) of alleles does the parent with the Gl/gL genotype contribute
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Gl, gL, GL and gl

Explanation:

The heterozygous parent has the genotype Gl/gL. Since this is a diploid individual, it has two copies of each autosomal chromosome. The slash "/" represents a separation between the two homologous chromosomes, <em>Gl</em> are the alleles of genes "G" and "L" present in one chromosome, and <em>gL</em> are the alleles of those genes present in the other chromosome.

During meiosis the total chromosome number of the original diploid cell is reduced by half, creating four haploid gametes. In a specific stage of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair and crossing over occurs, when recombination happens and one of the alleles present in one chromosome "switches" to the other chromosome, increasing genetic variation.

<u>Therefore, the Gl/gL individual can produce four different types of gametes:</u>

Gl and gL (Parental --> no crossing over occurred)

GL and gl (Recombinant --> crossing over occurred)

A gel electrophoresis migration pattern displaying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products shows four strong bands. The lengths
dangina [55]

Answer:

D) The encoded protein contains four repeats of a specific sequence.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is a technique used to replicate or amplify the amount of DNA sample.

The technique employs running the DNA samples on the gel through which the DNA samples run based on their sizes.

The large-sized DNA fragment runs to a less distance whereas the small-sized DNA run to a large distance.

In the given question, four sizes of DNA bands are formed in the ratio of  1:2:3:4 which shows that the proteins encoded by this DNA have four repeats of a specific sequence of the template strand. This was confirmed when the largest band sample was again used as a sample of PCR and the PCR resulted in the four bands in similar  1:2:3:4.  

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

20. Explain how health care professionals treat unregulated (or abnormal) cellular growth in the body
goldenfox [79]

Unregulated and uncontrolled cell growth is the most common simple definition of cancer. Because of the many types of cancers and a huge range of possible symptoms, treatments are also very diverse. Type of treatment also depends on cancer stage at diagnosis, and the patient's overall health. Some forms of treatment:

• Chemotherapy-usage of chemicals (medications) that target rapidly uncontrolled dividing cells,

• Hormone therapy

• Immunotherapy-usage of the medications that boost the immune system

• Radiation therapy-usage of radiation to kill the cancer cells

• Surgery

• New approaches such as stem cell therapy or personalized therapy.
