Answer:
The correct answer is "r-selected species".
Explanation:
The terms "k-selected" and "r-selected" species are used to describe two different type of evolutionary strategies. K-selected species are those who have few offspring that are well adapted to its environment and require a lot of resources to growth and survive. On the other hand, r-selected species have a large number of offspring, which not require living on stable conditions and can survive with few resources. The most invasive species are r-selected, since they reproduce very quickly and can adapt to survive to very different ecological conditions.
You are the microbiologist in charge of reading the Gram stain for this case. You observe Gram positive cocci, epithelial cells, and neutrophils. List at least two genera of clinically significant bacteria that are consistent with your observations.
Answer:
The genera include...
Mycobacterium
Actinomyces.
Explanation:
The genera Actinomyces and mycobacterium show significant observation of gram positive bacteria because they test positive and give a violet or purple color under microscope when the undergo gram staining which is which uses crystal violet due. They are able to retain the violet color due to their posses of thick peptidoglylcan cell wall.
Actinomyces spp. Of the general actinomyces play an important role in soil ecology, and some species are human pathogens that cause diseases.
Mycobacterium genera example is bacilli which is covered with a mycolic acid coat. This waxy coat protects the bacteria from antibiotics, prevents them from destruction and hinder the penetration by Gram stain reagents. They cause different infectious diseases in humans.

In imaginary fruit, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk-shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d). If a plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with a plant true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit, what will the phenotypic ratios be for: Show all work
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Genotype of a true-breeding white, disk-shaped fruit = WWDD
Genotype of a true-breeding yellow, sphere-shaped fruit = wwdd
Crossing the two:
WWDD x wwdd
WwDd
All the offspring (100%) will have the genotype WwDd with white, disk-shaped phenotype.
Assuming the cross is advanced to F2:
WwDd x WwDd
W_D_ 9 White, disk-shaped (9/16)
W_dd 3 White, sphere-shaped (3/16)
wwD_ 3 Yellow, disk-shaped (3/16)
wwdd 1 Yellow, sphere-shaped (1/16)

Which reason best explains why bacteria are good at causing infections in other organisms? It would not be able to divide. Bacteria are transmitted easily and reproduce quickly. Bacteria evolve slowly as they pass on genetic information. Bacteria are easily killed by a host’s immune system or antibiotics.
Answer:
Bacteria are transmitted easily and reproduce quickly
Explanation:
Bacteria are organisms that have a single cell. The process of reproduction of the bacteria is binary fission. The parent cell divides into the daughter cell. The DNA of the parent cell gets copied and gets divided by forming the identical daughter cells. Some bacteria have nutritional values in them while the others are infectious. They can divide at an alarming rate if they receive favorable conditions. Also, they are easily communicable and transmittable. It is because of this reason that the bacteria are good at causing infections in other organisms.

History has demonstrated that the techniques employed in this laboratory exercise often overestimate an individual's actual resting tidal volume. List some reasons why these laboratory techniques might produce abnormally high values for resting tidal volume.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
One possible reason here could be the fact that since the person is being watched while doing this exercise, they might tend to breather deeper than they normally do. Secondly, it may also be because the person is trying to make up for the spit filter and flow meter by breathing harder/sharper than they normally would.

Adaptive immunity comprises two branches: humoral immunity and cellular immunity. What are the characteristics of each of the two arms of the adaptive defense system
Answer:
Adaptive or acquired immunity is that we acquire throughout our lives through vaccines (active), breast milk (passive) or injection of specific artificial or natural antibodies to a certain pathogen (passive).
The two great arms of this immunity are the humoral and the cellular.
The humoral refers to the cytokines and immunomodulatory molecules that are responsible for transmitting fundamental messages between defense cells in order to coordinate the destruction of the pathogen between them.
Instead, cellular immunity speaks about cell lineage such as b, t, tcd4 lymphocytes, natural killers, plasmacytes, etc.
It can be said that the humoral factor is the one that coordinates the pathways and the relationships between the cells of the acquired immunity, both are important because the two need each other for adaptive immunity to work.
Explanation:
Examples of the humoral factor: pro and anti inflammatory cytokines, interleukins, complement chain, antibodies, TNF alpha, beta, etc.
Examples of cellular factor: plasmacyst, b lymphocyte, t lymphocyte, NT lymphocyte
A cylinder at left with balls evenly spaced throughout the cylinder has an arrow leading to a cylinder at right cylinder with balls stacked near its bottom. How is energy related to the change of state represented by the model? Atoms gain energy as a gas changes to a solid. Atoms gain energy as a gas changes to a liquid. Atoms lose energy as a gas changes to a solid. Atoms lose energy as a gas changes to a liquid.
Answer:
C. Atoms lose energy as a gas changes to a solid.
Explanation:
Physical changes of matter take place by adding or removing energy from the matter.
In the given images, The left cylindrical is showing gas phase while the right cylindrical is showing a solid phase.
The process of conversion of gas into solid is called deposition. Deposition process takes place when atoms lose their energy and have high kinetic energy so they directly convert into solid and not into liquid.

Explanation:
Approximately how much methane does one cow produce per year? How does the greenhouse gas warming effect of methane compare to carbon dioxide? Describe the organisms that digest and ferment the hay inside of the cow’s stomach? How are scientists reducing the amount of methane released from cows?
Answer:
Cattle and other ruminants are significant producers of the greenhouse gas methane—contributing 37 percent of the methane emissions resulting from human activity. A single cow on average produces between 70 and 120 kg of methane per year and, worldwide, there are about 1.5 billion cattle.
While carbon dioxide is typically painted as the bad boy of greenhouse gases, methane is roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. ... As temperatures rise, the relative increase of methane emissions will outpace that of carbon dioxide from these sources, the researchers report.
The cow's rumen is like a large fermentation vat. More than 200 different bacteria and 20 types of protozoa help the cow to utilize fibrous feedstuffs and non-protein nitrogen sources. ... Bacteria adhere to the feed and gradually digest the fermentable material.
“You can probably reduce methane by about 20-25% by altering diet,” he says. One study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, estimated it might be possible to reduce global methane emissions from cows by 15% by changing their diet.

what is a type of emigration where offspring move
away from their parents.
Answer:Dispersal
Explanation: This refers to offspring moving away from their parents. This prevents the offspring from competing with the parents for resources such as light or water. For example, dandelion seeds have “parachutes.” They allow the wind to carry the seeds far from the parents
In the wild, various sperm and egg cells must navigate a complex environment to complete fertilization. There are mechanisms in place at the molecular level to guard against interspecies fertilization, even between very closely related species. Some of these mechanisms involve lock and key functions of interacting proteins. These molecules most likely regulate which type of reproductive isolation mechanism? Please explain.
Answer:
pre-zygotic reproductive isolation
Explanation:
The molecules regulate the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanism.
Reproductive isolation generally refers to the variety of biological processes that sustain the formation of new species of biological organisms.
Some of these processes act to prevent fertilization or the formation of zygotes between organisms that are not of the same species (pre-zygotic mechanisms) while others ensure that the product of fertilization is invalid in case the former fails (post-zygotic mechanisms).
Some pre-zygotic mechanisms ensure that there exists no form of mating among organisms that are not of the same species due to incompatible reproductive organs, but where this fails, another pre-zygotic mechanism will act so that that the mating will not lead to fertilization and there will not be formation of zygotes.
The prevention of fertilization between organisms with compatible reproductive organs but of different species is carried out by molecules. These molecules ensure that there are locks and keys in place to prevent the fertilization of the egg by the sperm.
Which statement is best supported by the data in the graph? A graph entitled Number of people living with H I V, number of people newly infected with H I V and number of AIDS deaths worldwide from 1990 to 2008 in millions is shown. Year is on the horizontal axis and number of people is on the vertical axis. The number of people living with H I V steadily increases over the years. The number of people newly infected increased from 1990 to 1996 and then began to decrease. The number of deaths due to AIDS increased from 1990 to 2002, and then began to level off and decrease. Since 2000, there has been an increase in the number of people living with HIV, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV. Since 1990, both the number of new HIV infections and the number of deaths due to AIDS has consistently increased. The life span of a person living with HIV has become shorter. Twice as many people were living with HIV in 2008 than in 2000.
Answer: A. Since 2000, there has been an increase in the number of people living with HIV, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV.
Explanation:
The statement "Since 2000, there has been an increase in the number of people living with HIV, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV" best supported by the data in the graph. Hence, option A is correct.
What is HIV?The virus known as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) targets the immune system of the body. HIV can cause AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) if it is not treated. Right now, there is no efficient treatment.
Nevertheless, since 1996, there have been fewer new infections. For this reason, we can assume that if we look at the year 2000, we will observe that there was a rise in the number of HIV-positive persons but a decline in the number of HIV-positive people.
Therefore, since 2000, there has been an increase in the number of people living with HIV, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV.

Briefly explain what was done in the experiment where pigeons could choose which button to peck in the Skinner box. How does this relate to self-control?
In this experiment, Skinner placed a pigeon inside a box that contained a button that when pressed released water or food. This pigeon went through periods of deprivation of water and food, but over time, he realized that when he pecked the button he had access to these two elements. Skinner called this behavior operant behavior, which is the behavior that occurs controlled by its consequences.
Although Skinner did not specifically study self-control, with this experiment, we can make a connection between operant behavior and self-control, since both are behaviors shown as a way to change the environment in which they are inserted, but this change also affects them.

Answer:
c: stem cells mitosis stem.
d: the compromised cells differentiate into chondroblasts.
a: New matrix is produced and secreted.
b: Chondrocytes differ, each in its own gap.
Explanation:
The appositional growth of cartilage occurs in an appositional order, thus generating these cartilage structures to give future bone structures or mature cartilages themselves.
In the cartilage of growth of long bones this process happens.
Chondroblasts are differentiated cells that can form the extracellular matrix, and chondrocytes would be the mature form of these that are submerged in their MEC once they reach the secretion limit.

Compare and contrast the contributions of Neel, Pauling, and Ingram to our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of sickle cell disease (SCD).
He demonstrated that SCD and sickle cell trait were due to the presence of abnormal 8-globin polypeptides in red blood cells. He demonstrated that the electrophhoretic mobility of B-globin from patients with SCD was different from that of healthy individuals. He demonstrated that both parents of multiple patients with SCD had low levels of sickled red blood cells. He hypothesized that SCD was a recessive trait and that the parents of patients with SCD would be heterozygous carriers. He demonstrated that the difference between B-globin polypeptides in individuals who were healthy and those with SCD is an amino acid substitution. He performed a peptide fingerprint analysis on B-globin from individuals with 84 84 and 89 88, which identified the segment of B-globin that was changed by the BS mutation.
