Answer 1

Answer:

This woman is likely to be hypothyroid.

Explanation:

The woman has symptoms that may be linked to hypothyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid produces little hormone

thyroid. This disease is more common in women than in men and can be very debilitating if not properly cared for.

The doctor who will assist the woman shown in the question above, should ask questions about what she is feeling and see if she has low immunity, weight gain (in addition to fluid retention), feeling cold, mental depression, menstrual irregularities and constipation .

Finally, the doctor must order a blood test to see if the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormone (T4) are adequate and thus to confirm or not the disease.

BIOLOGY EXPERTS!!!! Shared core processes support the relatedness of all eukaryotes. Discuss how chromosome structure and function provides insights into the history of life on Earth.

Answers

Answer: Many eukaryotic organisms are related based on the shared core characteristics and processes.

Explanation:

The following are the shared core processes shared by all eukaryotes.:

1. Cytoskeleton: It is a network of structural proteins, that helps in movement of cell and organelle support.

2. Membrane-bound organelle: Mitochondria and chloroplast are organelles that formed via endosymbiosis these are present in all eukaryotic organisms.  

The DNA is the basic genetic material that is found in almost majority of living beings on earth. The DNA is being transmitted from the primitive organisms on earth to the modern day organisms. The chromosomes are the  carriers of DNA. These chromosomes are passed from the parents to the offsprings through reproduction. This is the basis of relatedness among organisms and these are also considered while studying the phylogenetic relationships.

Which question would be asked in a dichotomous key?
A. How long are the insect's antennae?
B. Are the insect's antennae longer than its head?
C. Are the insect's antennae long or short?
D. How does the insect use its antennae?

Answers

Answer:

B. Are the insect’s antennae longer than its head?

Explanation:

Dichotomous key refers to the tool or method which helps the scientist to identify organisms.

It uses a specific series of questions which help in segregation of organisms and ultimately help the scientist to identify the organism on the basis of the observations or properties share by the organism.

Example of a simple dichotomous key is shown below.

Similarly, insects can have antennae longer or shorter than their heads. Thus, the question "Are the insect’s antennae longer than its head?" would help in segregating insects based on their antennae length.

happy to help ya:)

The statement B is correct. Are the insect’s antennae longer than its head?

What do you mean by dichotomous keys?

A dichotomous key is an important scientific tool, used to identify different organisms, based the organism's observable traits. Dichotomous keys consist of a series of statements with two choices in each step that will lead users to the correct identification.

Moreover, for example, in tree identification, a dichotomous key might ask whether the tree has leaves or needles. The key then directs the user down one list of questions if the tree has leaves, and a different question list if it has needles.

Therefore, dichotomous keys are useful for biological classification as well as identification. The word dichotomous is derived from the Greek words meaning “two parts.” Each step in the key provides two contrasting choices about a characteristic.

In the United States, the moon’s pull is strongest during which season?
1. spring
2. summer
3. fall
4. winter

Answers

Answer: Spring

Explanation:

Gravitational pull is affected by mass and distance. Since the moon’s mass does not change, the moon’s distance between Earth and the moon is the main consideration for the strength of lunar gravity. The moon’s pull on Earth waxes and wanes as the moon follows its elliptical orbit around the Earth, the distance between the two celestial objects increases and decreases. When they are nearest to each other, the moon is in the point of its orbit called the perigee, and its pull on Earth is the strongest.

On Earth, the moon’s gravity primarily is manifested as high and low tides, as the water bulges toward the moon. The effects of lunar gravity are felt the most at the constantly changing spot on Earth that is directly beneath the moon, called the sub-lunar point. At most times of the year, the moon has a greater pull on Earth than the sun does, but this changes during the times of year when the Earth’s orbit brings it closer to the sun. At these times, the sun’s gravitational pull causes spring tides, and when these coincide with the moon’s orbital perigee around the Earth, they are called perigean spring tides.

Earth exerts a gravitational pull on the moon 80 times stronger than the moon’s pull on the Earth. Over a very long time, the moon’s rotations created fiction with the Earth’s tugging back, until the moon’s orbit and rotational locked with Earth. This is called "tidal locking," and it explains why the same side of the moon always faces the Earth.

A student made a model of an onion skin cell she viewed using a microscope. The scale is 1:500.The students cell model has a length of 15cm. How many centimeters is the real cells length?

Answers

Answer:

Length of the real cells = 7500 cm

Explanation:

A scale model is a physical representation of an object that has the same aspects as that of the object.

A scale model can be used in fields like engineering, film making,  salesmanship, etc

Length of the student's cell model = 15 cm

The scale is [tex]1:500[/tex]

So,

Length of the student's cell model / Length of the real cells  = [tex]1:500[/tex]

15 / Length of the real cells  = [tex]1:500[/tex]

Length of the real cells  = 15 × 500 = 7500 cm

Based on the pedigree that is shown above, how to describe Fred?

Answers

Answer:

The given pedigree analysis shows sex-linked trait where the female work as a carrier and have X linked recessive gene that is [tex]X^{h}[/tex] and the male is normal.

So, Fred will be a male with [tex]X^{h}[/tex][tex]Y[/tex] gene and Fred will be affected with X linked disease which is carried by female.

If,  [tex]X^{h}[/tex] gene in the female (Ann)  act as a carrier of hemophilia and the male (John) is normal, then Fred will be a male affected with hemophilia (sex linked disease).

Hence, Fred will be affected male with  [tex]X^{h}[/tex][tex]Y[/tex] genotype.

FROM THE LUNGS, BLOOD COMES BACK TO THE HEART. DESCRIBE THE PATH THIS BLOOD FOLLOWS UNTIL IT ENTERS THE AORTA.

Answers

Oxygen and carbon dioxide travels to and from tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

Answer:

Tricuspid valve  is the path of blood through the heart and lungs

Explanation:

Blood is also responsible for transiting the blood and nutrients. The blood reached right atrium and from here it reached the right ventricles with the help of tricuspid valve. When the ventricles are full it closes to stop blood from going back to the atrium.

The inferior and the superior vena cava let the blood enter through them. The heart left the blood with the help of pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery and the blood reached the lungs.

The function prototypes as well as more explanations are listed in myio.h. Please download it and accordingly implement the exported functions in myio.c. Basically, you are asked to develop a simple I/O library which exports a few functions to simplify the reading of an integer, a double, and more importantly a string (whole line). In contrast to standard I/O functions that can read strings (e.g., scanf with "%s", fgets) into a given static size buffer, your function should read the given input line of characters terminated by a newline character into a dynamically allocated and resized buffer based on the length of the given input line. Also your functions should check for possible errors (e.g., not an integer, not a double, illigal input, no memory etc.) and appropriately handle them. Then write a driver program driver.c that can simply use the functions from myio library. Specifically, your driver program should get four command-line arguments: x y z output_filename. It then prompts/reads x many integers, y many doubles, and z many lines, and prints them into a file called output_filename.txt.
