Answer:
knirps (a gap gene)
wingless (a segment-polarity gene)
kruppel (a gap gene)
even-skipped ( a pair-rule gene)
hunchback (a gap gene)
hedgehog (a segment-polarity gene)
Explanation:
The gap, segment-polarity and pair-rule genes play central roles in controlling embryonic development of arthropods. In the first place, the gap genes are associated with the formation of contiguous body segments, thereby mutations in these genes result in gaps in the normal body plan of the embryo. For example, in Drosophila melanogaster, mutations in the knirps, Krüppel and hunchback genes result in deletion of body segments. These genes are also known to regulate segment polarity genes, which determine the polarity of the embryonic parasegments by modulating Wnt and Hedgehog signaling pathways. Finally, the pair-rule genes work together with gap genes to control embryonic development of alternating body segments.

5. fewer amounts of the hormone
6. parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH)
7. the thyroid and parathyroid glands
8. Steroid hormones are produced from cholesterol, while nonsteroid hormones are produced from amino acids.
Explanation:
Hormones are signaling molecules secreted by the body to control cellular activities The endocrine glands are glands that don't have ducts to carry their secreted products (hormones) to the surface. Endocrine glands include the hypothalamus, ovaries, testes, pancreas, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thymus and thyroid glands. The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that secretes many hormones into the bloodstream, which are capable of controlling the functioning of other organs and glands. During the puberty stage, this gland secretes LH and FSH gonadotropin hormones that affect male and female gonads in order to activate the production of sex hormones. The adrenal glands secrete cortisol, which is known as the stress hormone. These glands also produce adrenaline which regulates visceral functions such as, for example, respiration. The parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) is generated by epithelial cells and plays important roles in fetal and adult tissues, (i.e., cell proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis). The thyroid gland regulates body temperature, while parathyroid glands control the calcium level in the blood by secreting the parathyroid hormone (PTH). Steroid hormones are lipidic hormones known to bind steroid receptors and they can easily cross the cell membrane, while non-steroid hormones cannot diffuse across the cell membranes and they are secreted by the endocrine system.

A) to create a new energy source
B) to create interesting looking pets.
C) the florescent cells can help track the movement of cells.
D) to create light in a dark laboratory.
The answer is C) The fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells.
Explanation:
Fluorescent animals such as rabbits have been created by using the GFP gene that is the Green Fluorescent Protein, which occurs naturally in the Aequorea Victoria jellyfish. In this way, the protein was extracted from jellyfish and used in mammals, including rabbits. This particular use of genetics does not only make animals glow in the dark but also helps geneticists to study cells as it makes visible how cells move, develop or change. Thus, the correct answer is C.
One of the procedures for cloning foreign DNA segments takes advantage of restriction endonucleases such as HindIII that produce complementary single strand ends (sticky ends). These enzymes produce identical sticky ends on cleaved foreign DNA and on the vector DNA into which you insert your DNA. Assume you have inserted your favorite gene into the HindIII site of the Bluescript cloning vector with ligase, you amplified it in E.coli, and isolated a large quantity of the plasmid with the insert. How do you excise your favorite gene from the plasmid?
Answer:
Restriction endonucleases are utilized to cut the deoxyribonucleic acid at a specific Restriction site. HindIII is an example of Restriction endonuclease. The Restriction site of HindIII is as per the following:
5'A*AGCTT3'
3'TTCGA*A5' (* represents restriction site)
The Restriction endonuclease cuts the particular gene from the foreign DNA and produces numerous fragments with the sticky ends. The part of the outside DNA which contains the gene of intrigue or a particular gene is ligated with the plasmid.
On the off chance that foreign DNA and plasmid DNA are separated by the same Restriction endonuclease, they will create sticky ends integral to one another. In this way, the segment of foreign DNA can be ligated to the plasmid DNA by the assistance of DNA ligase at the integral sticky end to shape a recombinant DNA.
Additionally, by the assistance of the same Restriction endonuclease for example HindIII for this situation, the recombinant plasmid can be treated with a similar Restriction endonuclease to extract the ideal gene or gene of intrigue.

What are striations, and how do they form?
Answer:
Striations or striae are scratches or small elongated grooves in bedrock or on clasts that are the product of abrasion . Clasts protruding out of basal sliding ice are dragged along bedrock surfaces producing the marks. The rate of abrasion depends on the effective force with which individual clast fragments are pressed against the bed, the flux of fragments over the bed, and the relative hardness of rocks in the ice and of the bed (Hallet, 1979). Hallet (1979) also noted that where geothermal heat flow or frictional heating are high, or where the ice is extending, the rate of abrasion should be higher. He also noted that glacier thickness has no affect on abrasion, and hence on the nature of striation morphology.
Explanation:The presence of striations is a reflection of the spatial and temporal variations in the stresses exerted by rock fragments entrained in basal ice, as well as a representation of glacier sliding (e.g., Boulton, 1974; Kamb et al., 1976; Hallet, 1979, 1981; Shoemaker, 1988; Iverson, 1991). The greater the stresses exerted, the greater the promotion of crack growth and brittle failure, and the deeper and wider the striae tend to be (Drewry, 1986).

h. FADH2
Answer:
Compounds needed for electron Transport chain are;
NADH
FADH2
NAD+
FAD
O2
H2o
Compounds that are produced are
ADP
ATP
Explanation:
Electron transport chain is a biological process that produced ATP in the body cells which entails building proton motive force that produce ATP.
The main electron transport chain electron donors are succinate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate (NADH).
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) fuse with a proton to form NADH at the mitochondrial matrix.
flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) plays a similar role as an electron donor.
Molecules such as pyruvate and succinate release energy when they are burned in the oxygen. This oxygen is later reduced to water.
The precursors of ATP, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are transported nto the mitochondrial matrix which later bond to form ATP.
Compounds required for the electron transport chain are NADH, oxygen, and FADH2. Compounds produced by the electron transport chain are ATP, water, [tex]NAD^+[/tex], and ADP.
NADH, oxygen, and FADH2 are substances needed for the electron transport chain (ETC). High-energy electrons are provided to the ETC by the electron carriers NADH and FADH2.
Then, a sequence of protein complexes enmeshed in the inner mitochondrial membrane transfer these electrons. Oxygen serves as the last electron acceptor, resulting in the formation of water.
A proton gradient is produced by the pumping of protons ([tex]H^+[/tex]) across the membrane as the electrons pass through the ETC and release energy in the process.
The ATP synthase enzyme is propelled by this gradient to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi).
Thus, the ETC creates the molecules ATP, water, NAD+, and ADP, all of which are crucial for cellular energy production and preserving the electron balance during cellular respiration.

Which of the following best describes the flow of energy in the Everglades food web shown below? (4 points) Diagram for an everglades food web. The food web contains the following organisms: American alligator, egret, raccoon, carp, Key deer, insects, Southern leopard frog, mangrove, and sawgrass. Mangrove is at the bottom of the food web, with arrows pointing to Key deer and insects. Sawgrass is also at the bottom of the web, with an arrow pointing to insects. Key deer, insects and Southern leopard frog are on the next level up. The Key deer has an arrow pointing to American alligator. The insects point to egret, carp, and Southern leopard frog. The Southern leopard frog points to the American alligator and the raccoon. The egret, carp and raccoon all points upward toward the American alligator. The carp also points to the egret. The American alligator is at the top of the food web. Mangrove → insects → carp → American alligator; about 90 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. Sawgrass → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. American alligator → carp → insects → mangrove; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. Egret → insects → mangrove → key deer → American alligator; about 90 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
Answer:
Although there is no diagrammatic representation of the food web but the question can be answered based on the provided information. The answer is:
Sawgrass → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
Explanation:
Food web is an interconnected food chain i.e. a series of food chains clustered together. A food web represents the various ways one organism can feed on another in a cycle. Since a food web consists of many food chains, energy is transferred when one organism feeds on another (flow of energy).
Just like a food chain, a food web begins with a PRODUCER, which is an organism capable of producing its own food via photosynthesis. This is the case of mangrove and sawgrass in this depicted food web as they are both producers and hence, must start the food web i.e. be at the bottom of the food web. Organisms called CONSUMERS feed on producers and one another to obtain energy. Consumers can be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the organism they feed on. Primary consumers feed directly on producers, secondary consumer on primary and tertiary consumers on secondary, in that order.
This accounts for why the American Alligator is at the top of the food web because it is a tertiary consumer.
However, as organisms feed on one another, only about 10% of the available energy is transferred because most of the energy (about 90%) has been used for metabolic processes and hence, lost as heat.
Therefore, the best description for the flow of energy in the Everglades food web is:
Sawgrass → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
Sawgrass is the producer and must begin the energy flow, followed by a primary consumer (insect). Feeding continues in that order until the tertiary consumer (American alligator) is reached.
Answer:
b) Mangrove → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

QUESTION 31 Chipmunk mitochondrial DNA was fingerprinted using the single primer amplified region technique (SPAR) and the PCR reaction. One four base primer was used. If the DNA from chipmunk mitochondria is a circlular piece of DNA about 16000 base pairs long, how many fragments should be produced by this technique
Answer:
It depends on the size of the amplified DNA fragments (for example for SPAR markers consisting of 200 bp in length >> 1600 / 200 = 8)
Explanation:
The PCR based single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods are tools for detecting genetic diversity by using DNA markers such as Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs), Minisatellite DNA regions (DAMDs) and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), which can be used alone or combined with each other. In the last years, the SPAR methods have gained attention in the scientific community because they are cost-effective and highly effective for the detection of both intraspecific and interspecific genetic variation. In the SPAR methods, the size of the bands will depend on the length of the amplified DNA fragments.
