Answer:

Explanation:

<h2><u>Embryonic stem cells</u></h2>

These stem cells come from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro during IVF procedure, and were donated for research with the consent of the donors.

They are pluripotent: they have the potential to differentiate into almost any cell in the body.

<h2><u>Adult stem cells</u></h2>

Found in most organs in an individual who has already been born, they are responsible for tissue renewal or repair of damage. They can renew themselves or differentiate into the cell types of the tissue of origin.

They are multipotent, thus limited in their ability to differentiate: they will only produce specific cell types (e.g. neural stem cells produce neurons and glia).

<h2><u>Ethical concerns</u></h2>

The research with embryonic stem cells starts with an embryo in its early stages that can't develop outside the womb. Some people consider this early embryo a human being and are against scientific research with it, while others think that it's not a human being yet and research is not harmful because it couldn't survive unless implanted. In addition, experimentation with embryos could induce unplanned genetic mutations that could cause clinical aberrations if the embryo were implanted and allowed to develop into an adult individual.

In contrast, adult stem cells are not really controversial as they are cells derived from tissues from grown individuals. The main ethical issues are related to donor consent to obtain the cells.

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A) genetic influences and chemical imbalances in the brain

Explanation:

An anxiety disorder is a psychiatric disorder where the individual experiences an excessive and irrational worry in everyday situations. Generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, panic attacks, etc are examples of anxiety disorders.

<em>Anxiety does not have a specific cause, it can be the result of different factors like changes in the brain's chemistry, environmental stress or even genetics.</em>

A researcher interested in predicting patterns of helping behavior using the concept of inclusive fitness would want to know ___
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

d. how much genetic material you share with someone you might help

Explanation:

In family groups or populations there are certain behaviors that might have possitive effects on other individual´s fitness. These behavior are known as prosocial.

<u>Prosocial behavior</u> requires cooperation among individuals that are helping each other. Although sometimes this might implicate a sacrifice of the one that provides the help, in a long-term period the whole group will be beneficiated.

Altruist actions occur when one of the organisms help another one.

To explain these behaviors, Hamilton proposed an explanation for altruism as <u>"inclusive fitness"</u> (1964). According to this, <em>an organism might help another one if this helps beneficiate its genes, that are shared with the organisms that receive help</em>. The concept of inclusive fitness links the evolution of altruism with blood relationship. This means that helping relatives increases the reproductive success of the helping individual, as its genes are represented in the beneficiated relatives. Altruist acts occur to favor close relatives.

The inclusive fitness concept points to the strategy of an organism to ensure the maintenance of its genetic material in the population for a long period of time, even if it requires some kind of harm for itself or is in its detriment.  

In organisms that reproduce sexually, in general, help is directed to the progeny, although it is not always like this.

What kind of display would be the best way to represent the data below? Type of species Critically endangered (%) Endangered or
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The table to this question is unclear, the detailed tabular form of this data has been attached.

The answer is BAR GRAPH

Explanation:

Bar graph or chart is one of the means statistical data is represented or displayed. A bar graph uses bars positioned horizontally or vertically to represent data. A bar chart is used to show comparison between the values of different categories. The length of each bar shows the degree of the measured data.

According to the data provided in the question, a comparison between the critically endangered species and endangered or vulnerable species in % of different types of species is described. Using a BAR GRAPH, the x-axis of the graph will contain the different types of species while the y-axis will contain the quantity in percentage (%) of the endangered or critically endangered species.

Note that, two different bars of different colors will be used to represent whether the species is endangered or critically endangered.
