Answer:

C. right side of the head and neck and right upper arm

Explanation:

The arch of aorta is a continuation of ascending aorta and terminates at the intervertebral disc of fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae. The superior part of the arch of aorta branches off into three major arteries. The first branch of arch of aorta is the largest branch and is known as the brachiocephalic trunk.

The brachiocephalic trunk divides and forms the subclavian artery and right common carotid artery. Right common carotid artery supplied blood to the right side of the head and neck while the right subclavian artery delivers blood to the right upper limb.

Hence, any blood clot in the first branch of arch of aorta, that is the brachiocephalic trunk would affect the blood supply to the right side of the head and neck and right upper arm.

kirza4 [7]

The answer is B. Warm current move away from the equator towards the poles while cold currents concurrently move towards the equator. This process is known as thermohaline circulation. The cold currents due to higher density move in the great depth of the oceans while the warmer currents are on the surface due to their relatively lower density.

A Xw+m+Xwm female was mated to a XwmY male. Out of 1000 total F1 progeny there were 230 flies that were otherwise wild type with
deff fn [24]
In order to calculate the distance between two alleles/genes that are found in the same chromosome, we need to know how often crossing-over happened (recombination frequency). We know from the text that white eyes were linked to miniature wings and that wild type eyes were linked to wild type wings, so any phenotype that's contrary to these parent combinations are a result of crossing-over. We know then that 230 flies + 240 flies were a result of such recombination. To calculate the recombination frequency we only need to divide these flies (total of recombinant flies) by the total of flies in the offspring and turn it into percentage.
\frac{230+240}{1000}=0.47
0.47*100%=47%
47 map units is the distance between the genes <span>for eye color and wing length.</span>

Elenna [48]
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.

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.
