In some parts of Africa, the frequency of heterozygosity for the sickle cell anemia allele is unusually high, presumably because this reduces the frequency of malaria. Such a relationship is related to which of the following?
a) Mendel's law of independent assortment
b) Mendel's law of segregation
c) Darwin's explanation of natural selection
d) Darwin's observations of competition
e) The malarial parasite changing the allele

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

According to Darwin's Law of Natural Selection, a gene that benefits the organism and helps it produce healty offspring so that it can survive is supported by natural selection and will receive a positive feedback over.

The fact that the heterozygosity for sickle cell anemia helps with the survivability of malaria, which is a deadly disease, suggests that the heterozygosity is favored by the law of natural selection.

Cocklebur will not flower if exposed to 8 hours of dark and 16 hours of light. It will flower if exposed to 16 hours of dark and 8 hours of light. However, if the 16 hours of dark is interrupted with a brief period of light the cocklebur will not flower. What triggers cocklebur to flower

Answers

Answer:

Photoperiodism

Explanation:

The process explained in the question is called "Photoperiodism" which refers to the plants' reaction to the length of the dark and light period in a day.

When the dark period is interrupted with a certain period of artificial lighting, the plant thinks that the day had a longer period where it's "light" than it is "dark" so it gets tricked into flowering. Same concept can be applied in reverse for the plants who flower during longer periods of dark.

Answers

Answer: FUNCTIONAL SYNCYTIUM

Explanation: The cardiac muscles are the Pericardium (outermost), Myocardium (middle) and Endocardium (innermost) though three(3) in number but they work as a unit,this functional unit starts with the action of the pacemaker cells,the Sinoatrial nodes,Atrioventricular nodes, bundle of his,bundle branches/purkinjes fibers.

How do you think pollination takes place in flowering plants?

Answers

Answer:

My answer is down below.

Explanation:

Pollination occurs when the transfer of pollen grains from the anthers to the stigma of a flower of the same species take place. After reaching the stigma of the flower of the same kind of plant, the pollen grains absorb moisture from the stigma surface and begins to grow a tube. This tube is called the pollen tube.

Explanation:

insects typically pollinate flowers as they move from plant to plant searching for food. when an instects lands on a flower to feed, pollen grains sticks to its body. As the instects moves to another flower of the same species, these pollen grains are transferred to the flower's stigma and pollination occurs.

The graphic shows the citric acid cycle. A diagram of the citric acid cycle is shown. Acetyl C o A enters the citric acid cycle and combines with a 4-carbon compound to form citric acid. During the citric acid cycle, what happens to acetyl-CoA? It enters the citric acid cycle and gains carbon dioxide to form citric acid, and gains more carbon dioxide through redox reactions to form a 4-carbon molecule. It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule. It enters glycolysis and associates with a 5-carbon molecule through redox reactions, forming another acetyl-CoA molecule. It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming a 5-carbon compound, and then through oxidation reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Answers

Answer:

It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)

In the citric acid cycle, when acetyl-CoA enters the cycle, it associates with a 4-carbon molecule (Oxalacetate), forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule (Oxalacetate).

--------------------

The resumed steps of the Citric acid cycle are as follows,

1) Acetyl CoA joins an oxaloacetate molecule, which is a 4C molecule. They release the CoA group and form a 6C molecule called Citrate.

                      Acetil CoA + Oxalacetato → Citrato + CoA group

2) Citrate turns into an isomere Isocitrate

3) Isocitrate oxidates and release 1 CO₂ molecule, producing an α- ketoglutarate molecule -this is a 5C molecule-. Meanwhile, NAD+ reduces to NADH.

                    Isocitrate + NAD+ → α-cetoglutarate + CO₂ + NADH

4) α-ketoglutarate oxidates and release 1 CO₂ molecule, producing a 4C molecule, which joins a Coenzyme A producing Succinyl-CoA. Meanwhile,  NAD+ reduces to NADH.

          α-cetoglutarate + NAD+ → 4C molecule + CO₂ + NADH

          4C molecule + Coenzyme A → Succinil-CoA

5) CoA from Succinyl-CoA is substituted with a phosphate group, which then forms ATP. The final product is Succinate and ATP

       Succinyl-CoA + Phosphate group + ADP → Succinate + ATP + CoA

6) Succinate oxidizes and forms Fumarate, a 4C molecule. FAD+ forms FAH₂

                     Succinate + FAD+ → Fumarate + FADH₂

7) A water molecule and Fumarate produce Malate, which is another 4C molecule

                                Fumarate + H₂O → Malate

8) Finally, malate oxidizes and oxalacetate regenerates -the initial 4C compound-. NAD+ reduces to NADH.

                     Malato + NAD+ → Oxalacetate + NADH

So, when acetyl-CoA enters the cycle, it associates with a 4-carbon molecule (Oxalacetate), forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule (Oxalacetate).

This relative dating technique is based on the principle of Group of answer choices fluorine analysis. paleomagnetism. geolayering. superposition.

Answers

Answer:

superposition

Explanation:    

Dating consists of ordering geological events according to the time they occurred, which ones occurred first, and which ones occurred latterly. This dating can be done by using the superposition geological principle.

Sediments can be incrusted in horizontal layers in the ground, called stratum. Different stratum can give us information about the environment in the past. They keep information about the age and the conditions under which the sediments got deposited.

Some geological principles allow us to date, relatively, the age of different geological events in the past.

Sediment layers place in a temporal sequence, let us know that the older layers are located in an inferior position concerning the newer layers. Hence, fossil species placed in more inferior layers are supposed to be older than fossil species found in more superficial layers.

while in 1 in some cases the bacteria can also over power and kill the fungi using genes
