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.

Which of the following could be discovered by studying the gross anatomy of a cadaver?
The function of cells within the body
The types of cells within each organ
The function of the body's organs and systems
The structure of the body's organs and systems
Answer:
The structure of the body's organs and systems
Explanation:
In medicine, a cadaver is a dead human body dissected in order to study its anatomical structure. It is employed by medical students and other medical practitioners to study the structure of the human body.
Anatomy is a branch of science that has to do with the study of the structure of living organisms. Relating anatomy to cadaver, these dead bodies are dissected in order to view and study the structure of the different compartments of the body e.g organs, systems etc.
Angiosperms (flowering plants) and vertebrates obtain nutrients from their environment in different ways. a. Discuss the type of nutrition and the nutritional requirements of angiosperms and vertebrates. b. Describe 2 structural adaptations in angiosperms for obtaining nutrients from the environment. Relate structure to function. c. Interdependence in nature is evident in symbiosis. Explain two symbiotic relationships that aid in nutrient uptake, using examples from angiosperms and/or vertebrates. (Both examples may be angiosperms, both may be vertebrates, or one may be from each group.)
Answer:
a. Angiosperm are plants (autotrophs) that use photosynthesis to produce their own food, while vertebrates are animals (heterotrophs) that obtain their food from other organisms. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.
b. Adaptations in angiosperms include two reproductive structures 1- fruits (ovaries), whose main function is to disperse the seeds and 2- flowers that ensure pollination and protect the embryo sac during its formation.
c . Examples:
1- The mycorrhizal symbiosis between plant roots and symbiotic fungi plays a key role in nutrient uptake from the soil. Arbuscular mycorrhizal is a type of symbiosis where a fungus of the phylum Glomeromycota penetrates the cortical root cells of vascular plants to produce specialized structures named arbuscules.
2- Microflora in the vertebrate digestive tract. The microorganisms that live in the digestive tract of vertebrate species are beneficial for the absorption of nutrients. For example, in humans, Saccharomyces boulardii has shown to have a probiotic effect by increasing intestinal homeostasis, thereby enhancing nutrient uptake.

The uterine cycle describes the cyclic changes of thickening and degeneration that the endometrium goes through in a month. What is the order of events in one uterine cycle
Answer:
During the uterine month there are different phases through which the uterus passes, these phases are regulated by hormones and are responsible for producing the cycle necessary for fertilization.
Phase where menstruation occurs: This phase only happens if the woman was not fertilized and did not develop the diploid cell together with a sperm, since not being fertilized, all the uterine preparation that had been planned in the body for fertilization will be released as that we know "menstruation", in this phase estrogens and progesterone are low. The inner walls of the unfertilized uterus are released.
Follicular phase, in the follicular phase the ovaries prepare to release an egg and estrogen begins to rise. (From the first day of the period until ovulation)
Proliferative phase, in the proliferative phase, new vessels proliferate and the outermost layer of the uterus prepares itself for possible fertilization, is where spiral arterioles can begin to form again in the external cut of the myometrium.
Ovulation, here is where the mature ovum is called Graff's follicle, at this time estrogen reaches its peak and then descends.
Luteal phase, in the luteal phase the production of the luteal body is generated, at this stage progesterone takes center stage, and it is the range between ovulation and menstruation (if not fertilized)
Last phase, secret phase, in this phase there are two possible ends, if the woman is fertilized, the egg cell implants and begins the development of the embryo and if it is not fertilized, the entire external cut of the myometrium is prepared to be secreted.
Explanation:
A very important fact to clarify is that women are born with a quantity of ovules that at the end of this uterine cycle ceases to exist, this process is what we know as menopause.
That is to say that women have a quantity of ovules that will one day run out, and the body releases them from the menarche or the first menstruation, generating that in each released ovule a uterine cycle is completed, the day they end the woman will have reached menopause and would have no chance of being fertilized or completing the uterine cycle.
superficial layer of the endometrium is shed
basal layer of endometrium grows, forms gland and blood vessels
enriched endometrial blood supply
endometrial glands secrete nutrients into uterus

Which of these lymphoid organs destroys bacteria before it can breach the intestinal wall and generates "memory" lymphocytes for long-term memory?
Answer:
Peyers patches
Explanation:
Peyers patches are group of lymphoid follicles found in the ileum of the small intestine.
This part of lymphatic system form part of immune system that help to control bacteria population in the small intestine and prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the small intestines. It plays an important role in immune surveillance where it recognises pathogenic bacteria and destroy the bacteria.
It is a lymphoid organs destroys bacteria before it can breach the intestinal wall and generates "memory" lymphocytes for long-term memory because it form the part of the immune system which help to fight infection or foreign substances in the body, also by generating lymphocytes which is a white blood cells of the immune system which generate long term memory of foreign pathogens and destroying it.

Larry recalls his first memory of riding a red tricycle at the age of 4. Larry’s memory is: True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
False memory refers to remembering an event differently from the way it happened or remembering events that never happened at all.
Larry's memory is a true memory because it doesn't sound like something that could be made up. Also, most children ride tricycles around the age of 4 or even younger.

Answer:
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
Hope that helps.
The correct equation for cellular respiration and one for photosynthesis are:
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
What is cellular respiration?Cellular respiration is a process of converting food into energy that can be used in many processes. It happens when oxygen is combined with food material and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
The correct reaction of photosynthesis is when carbon dioxide and water are combined with sunlight to form glucose and oxygen.
The correct reaction of cellular respiration is when glucose and oxygen react and release carbon dioxide and water and energy,
Thus, the correct reactions are:
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

A) PCR
B) Southern blot
C) FISH
D) Agarose gel electrophoresis
E) DNA microarray
Answer: Option E.
DNA micro array.
Explanation:
DNA microarray is a technique that involves hybridizing cDNA into a chip that contains thousands of single stranded DNA sequences. This technique enables one to study expression of thousands of genes at the same time.looks for extra (duplicated) or missing (deleted) chromosomal segments, sometimes called copy number variants (CNVs).
DNA microarrays are microscope slides which are printed with thousands of tiny spots in specific different positions, and each of the spots contain a known DNA sequence or gene.
primary use of DNA microarrays is transcriptional profiling.
The basic principle behind the DNA microarray is “ nucleic acid hybridization.
a strand of dna contains the base sequence AGTT . What is the sequence of the complimentary strand of DNA
Answer:
The sequence is TCAA
Explanation:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two complementary chains of nucleotides. The nucleotides are in turn composed of one nitrogenous base, one deoxyribose sugar, and one phosphate group. The four different types of nitrogen bases found in DNA are thymine (substituted by Uracil during RNA transcription), adenine, cytosine and guanine. These bases bind by complementary base pairing to form an antiparallel double-strand. The complementary base pairing rule states that thymine forms two hydrogen bonds with adenine, while cytosine forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine.
Answer:
TCAA
Explanation:
A matches to T and G matches to C.

2. If a nucleus has 8 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present after Telophase I? 3. What advantage does crossing-over have in reproduction? 6. Compare and contrast spermatogenesis and oogenesis (where do they occur, how many gametes are formed, when do they develop, etc):
Answer:
Telophase I: 8 chromosomes composed of two sister chromatids
Crossing over refers to the mechanism of recombination, this process being characterized in that increases the genetic variation
Spermatogenesis refers to the mechanism of formation of male gametes (sperms), while oogenesis is the process of formation of female gametes (oocytes)
Explanation:
Telophase I is the final step in meiosis I. During telophase I, the nuclear membrane is formed around the decondensed set of chromosomes and the nucleoli reappear.
Spermatogenesis refers to the process by which haploid male germ cells (sperms) are generated within the seminiferous tubules in the testis, while oogenesis refers to the process of differentiation of the female egg cells (ova or oocytes) in the ovaries. Spermatogenesis is known to produce small and motile spermatic cells, while oogenesis is known to produce bigger non-motile oocytes.

The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. eliminate waste products from the blood act as a reactant in carbohydrate storage catalyze chemical reactions maintain homeostasis maintain a neutral pH
Answer:
catalyze chemical reactions
Explanation:
An enzyme is a proteinous substance that acts as biological catalysts and increases the rate of biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are specific in nature which is as a result of the structure/shape of its building block (amino acid).
Enzymes speedens the rate of a chemical reaction in living systems, which would normally not occur or occur at a much slower rate, without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes acts on the reactants called Substrates by binding to them to form products but they are not used up in the reaction. Hence, enzymes are not reactants.

In 1998, paleoanthropologist Rick Potts published an article in The Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, a peer-reviewed journal. The article was titled “Environmental Hypotheses of Hominin Evolution.” In his paper, Potts claimed that great variations in environmental conditions over time were responsible for the adaptability of humans and the success of our species. Which would most likely be found in his paper? a review of modern human anatomical structure evidence of changing environmental conditions, with references the reasons competing hypotheses are wrong his opinion of what will happen to the survival of the human race
Answer:
Dr. Potts used environmental data to support environmental hypotheses capable of explaining human evolution
Explanation:
In this paper, the author stated that environmental factors have been fundamental for the emergence of adaptive traits during human evolution. In consequence, Dr. Potts explained how particular environmental factors and habitats might have shaped human evolution. For example, it has been hypothesized that dry savanna vegetation might have been a key environmental factor associated to the emergence of human traits including, among others, bipedality, making of tools from stones, the development of human brains, etc. In order to prove this hypothesis, the author recorded environmental data from different regions in Africa (Olorgesailie, Olduvai, Turkana, Zhoukoudian, etc), where it is believed that first hominids evolved about 6-8 million years ago.
