Summary Introduction

To explain: How the themes of biology represent the activity of text messaging involving muscles and nerves in the hand.

Concept introduction:

Biology is the scientific study of life and related biological aspects. The interactions among living organisms and with the environment are explained by different themes. These themes are unifying and are based on organization, information, energy and matter, interactions, and evolution.

Explanation of Solution

In the present days, mobiles phones and other hand-held devices are widely used for communication and text messaging. Text messaging involves use of thumb and fingers in the hand. These movements are coordinated by muscles, bones, and nerves in the hand that are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest units of biological organization, and the activities of all living organisms are based on cellular functions. Cells consist of genetic information in the form of DNA that determines the development and specialized functioning of the cells. The hand development and functioning is determined by the genetic information. To type a message, thumb and fingers require energy for muscle contractions and propagation of nerve impulses. The nerve impulses from the nervous system interact and stimulate muscles to contract. Also, text messaging is a way of communication and interaction to transmit information.

According to a recent study, 1 out of 50,000 people will be diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis can be caused by a mutant form of the CFTR gene (dominant gene symbol is F and mutant is f). A. Using the rate of incidence above, what is the frequency of carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele for CFTR in the US? (3 pts) B. In a clinical study, 400 people from the population mentioned in (A.) were genotyped for BRCA1 Listed below are the results. Are these results in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium?

Outline a method for using apomixis to maintain feminized CannabisAssume apomixis is controlled by a single dominant gene. You can choose the type of apomixis: obligate or facultative, gametophytic or sporophytic. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of your proposed method.
Kinetics: One-Compartment First-Order Absorption 1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple routes of administration provides greater insight than a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250-g rats following bolus IV, oral (PO), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.  Using this data and set of graphs, determine:(calculate for each variable) (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e)absolute ip bioavailability, Fip  (f) absolute po bioavailability, Fpo
