As we learned plasma proteins Fibrinogen and Prothrombin are both needed for coagulation. However, there is much more fibrinogen (4% of plasma proteins) compared to prothrombin (present in only small traces). Applying your knowledge of enzymes and clotting cascade, explain the difference in their abundance.
Answer:
Fibrinogen is present in much higher amounts than what is required for coagulation while Prothrombin is present in low amounts in order to prevent excess conversion to thrombin during blood clotting
Explanation:
Fibrinogen is functional for processes such as inflammation, atherogenesis and not for blood Coagulation and they are required to form Fibrin fibers which will in turn form blood clots. Fibrinogen is present in much higher amounts than what is required for coagulation while
Prothrombin is present in low amounts in order to prevent excess conversion to thrombin during blood clotting. and this is because increased concentrations of thrombin will lead to an extensive intravascular thrombosis
What phenotypic results for each environment would you predict if starting with the following population sizes?
1000:
100:
10:
Explanation:
populations are large, it seems fair to ask whether genetic drift is really all that important. It's true that most populations are large, but they don't necessary act large. Thus, the rate of genetic drift is not really proportional to census population size (Nc). Rather, it's proportional to something more abstract — specifically, the effective population size (Ne). In an ideal population of sexually reproducing individuals , Ne will equal Nc. An "ideal" population has the following characteristics, and most deviations will decrease the effective population size:
There are equal numbers of males and females, all of whom are able to reproduce.
All individuals are equally likely to produce offspring, and the number of offspring that each produces varies no more than expected by chance.
Mating is random.
The number of breeding individuals is constant from one generation to the next.
Essentially, anything that increases the variance among individuals in reproductive success (above sampling variance) will reduce Ne (the size of an ideal population that experiences genetic drift at the rate of the population in question). For example, consider the effect of unequal numbers of mating males and females. In an ideal population, all males and all females would have an equal chance of mating. However, in situations in which one sex outnumbers the other, an individual's chance to mate is now affected by its sex, even if all individuals within each sex have an equal chance to mate. In this situation, effective population size can be predicted by the formula Ne = 4NmNf/(Nm + Nf), where Nm is the number of males and Nf is the number of females. Figure 4 shows the relationship between Ne and Nf in a population of 1,000 mating individuals. In an ideal population, all individuals have an equal opportunity to pass on their genes. In real life, however, this is rarely the case, and Ne is particularly sensitive to unequal numbers of males and females in the population.follow me bye nice study

Choose one of the following scenarios and answer the questions provided. Support your answers using scientific reasoning and discussing possible impacts to individuals, society, and the environment. Be sure to also discuss any medical or ethical issues that may apply. (10 points)
Scenario 1:
Genetic engineering can be used to create more productive strains of farm animals. By adding genes to an animal's DNA, the animal can be made to produce milk or meat containing vital nutrients that would not be found naturally in those products. This provides a greater amount of nutrients per serving of milk or meat.
Do you think that this type of genetic engineering should be pursued? Explain your answer. (5 points)
What are some possible impacts (positive and negative) of this type of genetic engineering on individuals, society, and the environment? (5 points)
Scenario 2:
In the future, doctors may be able to evaluate your DNA to check for genetic markers related to specific medical conditions or harmful reactions to medications. Your personalized genetic profile could be kept on record and referred to in order to develop personal medical treatment based on your unique DNA sequencing. Scientists have found that just small variations in a specific section of your DNA can help determine how well some medications can work for you or if they would be beneficial at all.
Would you want to have your DNA profile kept in your medical record as a reference for your doctors? Explain your answer. (2 points)
What are potential pros and cons of having such tests done and referring to DNA sequences when determining a patient's medical treatment? (5 points)
Describe how the availability of this technology might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations. (3 points)
Answer:
1. It should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. There are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but I can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.
2. Yes. First, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. The pros involve better medical treatment. The cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. Looking at DNA markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. And OK, actually I suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency.

The aorta carries blood away from the heart and eventually branches into a large number of capillaries that distribute the blood to various body organs. If for an average person, the aorta has a radius of 1.2 cm and blood travels through it at a speed of 42 cm/s and the capillaries have an average radius of 5.0 10-4 cm and blood travels through them at a speed of 0.005 cm/s, determine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body.
Answer:
There are approximately 5 × 10¹⁰ capillaries in the human body
Explanation:
The motion of a fluid is such that the mass of the fluid flowing remains constant. This is known as the principle of conservation of mass in liquid flow.
The mass flow rate is the mass that passes a given point per unit time. According to the principle of conservation of mass, the flow rates at any two points must be equal, as long as no fluid is being added or taken away.
The principle gives rise tonthe continuity equation which is given below:
ρ₁A₁v₁ = ρ₂A₂v₂
Where ρ is density of fluid, A is internal area of the vessel or pipe the fluid is flowing through, v is velocity of the fluid
Since the density of blood is constant, the continuity equation above reduces to:
A₁v₁ = nA₂v₂
where A₁ is the area of the aorta, v₁ is velocity of bloodmin the aorta, n is number of capillaries, A₂ area of capillary, v₂ is velocity of blood in the capillary.
n = A₁v₁/A₂v₂
n = πr₁² × v₁ / πr₂² × v₂ where r₁ is radius of aorta and r₂ is radius of capillaries
n = (22/7 × 1.2² × 42) / (22/7 × 0.0005² × 0.005)
n = 4.8384 × 10¹⁰capillaries
Therefore, there are approximately 5 × 10¹⁰ capillaries in the human body

Which of the following irrigation methods is most likely to result in salinization of the soil, especially if the agricultural fields are located in a warm climate with consistent sunlight
A Spray irrigation
Furrow irrigation
Flood irrigation
Drip Irrigation
Answer: Furrow Irrigation (B)
Explanation:
Furrow irrigation
Salinization of the SoilThe accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil is known as salinization. Excess salts inhibit crop growth by decreasing their ability to absorb water, making salinization a resource concern.Surface irrigation in which trenches or "furrows" are created between crop rows in a field is known as furrow irrigation. Furrow irrigation is done by laying down short parallel channels down the length of the field in the direction of the predominant slope.Furrow irrigation is most likely to result in salinization of the soil, especially if the agricultural fields are located in a warm climate with consistent sunlightFor more information:

Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis? (3 points)
-Detecting a pain stimulus and sending a signal to the spinal cord to perform an automatic response
-Discharging an excessive amount of hormones in the blood and not sending a signal to stop production
-Sending a message to the pituitary gland to start producing a hormone when the levels in the body are too low
-Using sense organs to get information about the outside world and direct an appropriate body response release
Answer:
-Discharging an excessive amount of hormones in the blood and not sending a signal to stop production
Explanation:
Endocrine system is regulated by negative feedback mechanisms that work to maintain homeostasis.
Concentration of hormones, and how they effect other body systems, are controlled in this manner.
For instance, the blood glucose regulation is controlled by insulin and glucagon, hormones produced by the pancreas.
