The major means of propulsion through the alimentary canal is peristalsis. True False

Biology
1 answer:
aalyn [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Peristalsis is the wave-like motion of the walls of the alimentary canal that allow food to move along the lumen of the alimentary canal towards the posterior (anus). These waves are powered by the contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscles.

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%

In direct calorimetry, a person is placed in a large, water-insulated chamber. The chamber is kept at a constant temperature. Wh
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.

Reena segregates the waste at home and put the bio degradable waste in a pot containing soil. She leaves it for 15 days and uses
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Reena is making compost to reuse or recycle biodegradable waste and convert it into a natural fertilizer.

Explanation:

By placing the biodegradable matter in the pot with soil, microorganisms living in that soil are able to decompose the wastes and produce fertile products. This fertilized soil is very useful in plant care because it provides many nutrients and benefits for needed the plants' growth.

Compost consists of a controlled oxidation biological process and microorganisms and other invertebrates such as earthworms are in charge of decomposition of the solid matter. The product is used as a natural fertilizer and is a good substitute for chemical fertilizers. When composting, temperature, and humidity must be controlled. The process lasts one week or two until the whole solid wastes are degraded and mixed with the rest of the soil.
