Answer:

Lysosomes

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is an inherited disease that consists in gangliosides accumulated in lysosomes, as they can't be degraded.  Hexoseminidase A, the enzyme in charge is mutated

What is th advantage of this type of reproduction in paramecium?
eduard
The advantage of asexual reproduction (binary fission) in paramecium is a large number of offspring that are reproduced very fast. Large number colonies which are formed that way may survive and compete with other organisms. Another advantage is that this type of reproduction doesn’t acquire energy for finding a mate.  
<span>The advantage of sexual reproduction is that offspring reproduced sexually are different (asexually have genetically identical offspring).</span>

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>

For what purpose(s) might a karyotype be prepared?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

A karyotype is the visual representation of the chromosome numbers present in a cell of an organism.

The karyotyping is a technique performed to prepare the karyotype of the organism which plays an important role in analyzing the chromosomal abnormalities of the organism.

The analysis of the chromosomal abnormalities helps us study the genetic disorder and diagnose genetic disease. The karyotyping is performed during pregnancy which helps visualize the disease in a family with a history of genetic disorders.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Jay, Kip, and Tia are each measuring the concentration of a solution. They are doing experiments separately. They are all are us
Anestetic [448]
The measurements taken by Jay are least likely to contain random errors.

When you increase the number of measurements, the random errors tend to minimize, because errors in one direction cancel with errors in the opposed direction.
