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.
I need help as soon is possible pls!!!! A physicist is studying light absorbance in the ocean. He graphs his data as shown below. What color of light would most likely be present at 200 meters below sea level, and why? Justify your answer by using the provided data.
Answer:
blue
Explanation:
if you look at the graph, it's asking which color would most likely be present 200 meters below sea level. The only color/bar that comes close, or in this case surpasses 200m, is the color blue.
The blue color of light would most likely be present at 200 meters below sea level because the wavelength of the blue light falls under the visible light spectrum.
What is Absorbance?Absorbance may be defined as a quantity that can significantly be measured by the ability of a substance to absorb light of a specified wavelength. It is remarkably equal to the logarithm of the reciprocal of the transmittance.
According to the question and graph carefully, one can easily find out the light which has penetrated deep into the ocean is blue. Apart from this, blue light significantly has the shortest wavelength which means the highest energy.
Therefore, the color of light that has most likely been present at 200 meters below sea level is blue.

Which mode of genetic recombination is matched correctly with its description? transduction—virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another conjugation—involves splitting of one cell and results in two identical cells binary fission—requires direct cell-to-cell contact of bacteria transformation—uses a pilus to transmit genetic information between bacteria
Answer:
transduction—virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another
Explanation:
Transduction is a mechanism of recombination where DNA fragments are inserted into bacteria by a viral vector. The mechanism of transduction is commonly used by molecular biology laboratories to insert gene fragments into both bacterial and mammalian cells.
Conjugation is the genetic mechanism in which bacteria transfer genetic information among them by direct contact.
Binary fission is the most common type of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In binary fission, the DNA molecule is replicated and, subsequently, the bacterial cell is divided into two daughter cells with identical genetic material.
Finally, the transformation is the mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in which one bacterium takes up genetic information into the surrounding environment and incorporates it into its genome.

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.

There are two primary models of the universe. One is the expanding model, which says that the universe is constantly increasing in size. The other is, the steady state model, which says that the universe is approximately constant in size and shape. What evidence would you expect to see if the expanding model were correct?
Answer:
Ok, suppose that the universe is expanding:
If the universe is expanding, then the distance between "fixed" points in the universe (we can set the fixed points as planets, galaxies, etc) would change with the time.
This means that, if the distance between the Earth and a given star or planet (that is not in our nearby region) should change as time goes by.
Now, this was actually observed:
There is something called the doppler effect:
In a short way, if an object is moving away, the light that comes from that object will have a red shift (it seems a little more reddish than it actually is)
If the object is moving towards us, the light that comes from the object will have a blue shift (it seems a little more blueish than it actually is)
Those shifts can be observed from the Earth, so from that is safe to conclude that the expanding model is actually correct.
Answer:
Observing objects in the sky that gradually move away from Earth could prove that the expanding model is correct.

The medulla oblongs ya controls the contraction and relaxation of the blank causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing.
Answer:
This question includes some errors, the question should be written as:
The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the ______ causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing.
Although there are no options, the answer is generally RESPIRATORY MUSCLES i.e. diaphragm and intercostal muscles
Explanation:
Breathing is an involuntary action required to take place in order to get oxygen into the system and carbon dioxide out of the system. However, the process of breathing is neurally controlled by brain portion called RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTERS.
The Medulla oblongata located in the hindbrain is one of the two respiratory control centers (the other being the PONS). The medulla sends nerve signals to the muscles responsible for bringing about the ventilation process i.e. the DIAPHRAGM and INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES.
This nerve impulse brings about the contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, and intercostal muscle causing the lungs to inflate and allow the entry of oxygen-containing air. On the other hand, it also brings about the relaxation of these muscles causing the lungs to deflate allowing the expelling of air.

Suggest an intracellular regulatory molecule (from your text) that growth factors might stimulate to control cell division. Please describe how it works.
Answer:
E2F transcription factors
Explanation:
The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.
Jacob calls his friend Mark to tell him the news, and to Jacob's surprise, Mark has heard of MSUD. In fact, Mark says that his wife is a carrier so he got tested to see if he was a carrier as well. After getting tested, Mark and his wife decided to have children because there was no increased risk of their child getting MSUD. Based on this information, Mark and his wife must have the genotype: g
Answer:
Explanation:
Since Mark's wife was a carrier, it means that she is heterozygous for the trait. And after Mark got tested, they decided to have children due to no increased risk if they do have children, it means the condition is not an autosomal dominant condition but a recessive condition because if the condition is dominant, only one copy of the affected allele is needed to increase risk.
Thus, with a no increased risk, it means Mark is normal i.e. carries no copy of the recessive allele.

Which of the following phenotypic classes reflect offspring that were generated as a result of a recombination event?
a. vestigial wings, red eyes
b. vestigial wings, purple eyes
c. full wings, red eyes
d. full wings, purple eyes
Answer:
The correct options are: A " vestigial wings, red eyes" and D "full wings, purple eyes"
Explanation:
female parent: vg+pr+/vg pr
(phenotype - full winged and red eyes)
male parent: vgpr/vgpr
(phenotype - vestigial winged and purple eyes)
Of these traits, vestigial wings and purple eyes are recessive traits. Hence, when a recombination event occurs, the offspring can potentially have a wild type trait paired with a recessive trait.
Estimate the volume of a human heart (in mL) using the following measurements/assumptions: Blood flow through the aorta is approximately 11.2 cm/s The diameter of the aorta is approximately 3.0 cm Assume the heart pumps its own volume with each beat Assume a pulse rate of 67 beats per minute.
Answer:
The correct answer is 70.92 ml.
Explanation:
Based on the given question, the rate of the flow of blood through the aorta (v) is 11.2 cm/s.
The given diameter of aorta is 3.0 cm
Thus, the radius (r) of aorta will be, 3.0/2 = 1.5 cm
The cross-sectional area of the aorta (A) will be calculated by using the formula, πr²
= π ×(1.5)² cm²
= 2.25 π cm²
The pulse rate given is 67 beats per minute, therefore, time taken for 67 beats is 60 seconds, hence, time taken for 1 beat will be 60/67 second
Now the volume of the heart will be,
= A × v × t
= 2.25 π cm² × 11.2 cm/s × 60/67 s
= 70.92 cm³
As 1 cm³ is equal to 1 ml. So, the volume of a human heart will be 70.92 ml.
In addition to the natural loss of muscle mass that occurs as we move into our older years, changes in lifestyle, such as transition from employment to retirement, also account for a decrease in ___________.
a. stress response
b. energy needs
c. hormones
d. brain activity
Answer:
B. Energy needs
Explanation:
As an individual ages there is a characteristic natural loss of muscle mass that occurs and increases as they move into older years. Changes in lifestyle, such as transition from employment to retirement, also account for a decrease in energy needs. This is because there is less amount of work done during retirement than when an individual is actively working.
The less amount of work is the reason why there is also a corresponding decrease in the energy needs.
Summarize the process of PCR in a diagram. Include all the steps, labeled and in the right order.
Answer:
Denaturation, Annealing and Extension are the steps of PCR.
Explanation:
There are three steps of PCR process.
1) Denaturation
2) Annealing
3) Extension
In the first step, the DNA denatures when they are allow to heat. In Annealing, the process of polymerization occurs. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method which is used to formed or produce billions of copies of a particular DNA sample. In this process, monomers attached to one another to form polymers and the process is known as polymerization. In the extension, new strands of DNA are formed by using the old DNA strands as a template.

can a impact in one species over time can impact an ecosytem ?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, the impact on one species over time can impact ecosystem.
An ecosystem is consist of biotic and abiotic organisms. There is a major relationship between biotic and abiotic or biotic and biotic components.
The relationship between biotic and biotic components is called food chain, in which one organisms depends on others for their survival and balance the energy flow in the ecosystem. So impact on any one species in the food chain will impact the whole ecosystem.
For example: Plants are the producers in the food chain, and if plants will be impacted or destroyed over time, the consumers depending on the plants will die from starvation and disturb the energy flow in the ecosystem. Along with this, plants are also related to abiotic factors such as maintenance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, so the balance of these gases will also get disturbed.

Pedigrees are used to help geneticists understand how traits are inherited between generations. The Romanovs, a Russian royal family, had a history of hemophilia, a sex-linked disorder that is determined by a recessive allele on the X chromosome.
A genetic pedigree is shown. Irene is a carrier. Her husband is not a carrier. Her children Waldemar and Henry have hemophilia.
What is the best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia?
Alice carried the recessive allele.
Alexandra carried the recessive allele.
Frederick carried the recessive allele.
Waldemar carried the recessive allele.
Answer:
Waldemar carried the recessive allele.
Explanation:
The carrier is the individual that has the affected allele or mutation but does not express the trait, or might express it in different levels. Although, as the person carries the mutation, she or he might transmit the genetic mutation associated with a disease to the progeny. In general, these diseases are inherited as recessive traits.
So, in the exposed example we know that:
hemophilia is a sex-linked disorderhemophilia is determined by a recessive allele on the X chromosome.Irene is a carrier.Her husband is not a carrier.Her children Waldemar and Henry have hemophilia.If Irene is a carrier, this means that she is heterozygous and that her genotype is X⁺X⁻ (Being the symbol + the dominant allele, and - the recessive one for that expresses the trait)
The fact that Irene´s husband is not a carrier means that his genotype is X⁺Y
Their boys Waldemar and Henry have hemophilia, so both their genotypes are X⁻Y
The best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia is that Alice carried the recessive allele.
Alice is Irene´s Mother, and she is a carrier as well. Irene´s father, Louis, is not a carrier, so she could have inherited a dominant allele from her father and a recessive allele from her mother, X⁺X⁻, or she could have inherited two dominant alleles from both her parents X⁺X⁺. This is not proof enough of Irene being heterozygous. The fact that Alexandra, Irene´s sister, was also a carrier does not say anything about Irene´s genotype, because they could both share the same genotype or not. This is not proof of Irene being heterozygous.Frederick (her brother) was hemophilic. He received a recessive allele from Alice, but this does not say anything about Irene´s genotype. The fact that Waldemar (her son) was hemophilic, is the best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia. Walderman received the Y chromosome from his father and an X chromosome from his mother. The X chromosome that he received from his mother carried the recessive allele for the trait, and this is why he had hemophilia. This means that there is no best evidence for Irene´s genotype than her son´s genotype.
