(a)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: In most of the crime scene the sample of the hair is encountered as physical evidence. The different forms of hair are present depending on their morphology and structure.
(b)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: The primary step in identifying the hair is to study the color and more information about the extraction of DNA and its different characters.
(c)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: The collection of cells that can be observed running in the central canal is termed as the medulla. This canal is regarded as the predominant feature that covers half of the diameter of the hair.
(d)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: The growth of the hair is dependent on the root and the type of cells surrounding it. The three phases are present in the growth which is termed as anagen, catagen, and telogen.
(e)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: The hair comprises of the filamentous cells that are made up of keratins. A single strand of hair can be enough in identifying the culprit. Coronal, spinous and imbricate are the different types of scale patterns found in the hairs.
(f)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: The primary purpose to examine the hair strand is to recognize the type of hair that belongs to an animal or a human.
(g)
To determine: The medulla pattern present in the given hair sample.
Introduction: The shape of the hair can be determined by the type of medulla present in them. The medulla present in the humans gives the shape to the hairs as a cylindrical in appearance.
(h)
To determine: The identification of the type of hair based on the medulla pattern.
Introduction: The comparisons of the hairs are done based on different features. These characteristics include the matching of the color, the diameter, and the length of the hair.
(i)
To determine: The hair sample present in the given picture does not contain a medulla.
Introduction: The cortex of the hair is present in the cuticle that serves as a protective layer for the hairs. The cortex can be considered in the case of investigation because the cells that give a specific color to the hairs are present in here.

- Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO₂ level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO₂ triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. • How might the location and slope of the O2 line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO2 line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?arrow_forwardHow much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario: Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid. Recall that when glycerol breaks down to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate it costs one ATP but your get an extra FADH2. Every two carbons of a fatty acid break down to one acetyl-CoA. Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.arrow_forwardIf a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade one small protein molecule into 8 molecules of pyruvic acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume there is no other carbon source. Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in molecules of ATP.arrow_forward
- If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade a 30 mM solution of citric acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume no other carbon source is available. Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.arrow_forwardHow much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario: Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid.

(pathways will be provided on the exam) Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.arrow_forwardWhen beta-lactamase was isolated from Staphylcoccus aureus and treated with a phosphorylating agent, only the active site, serine was phosphorylated. Additionally, the serine was found to constitute 0.35% (by weight) of this beta-lactamase enzyme. Using this, calculate the molecular weight of this enzyme and estimate the number of amino acids present in the polypeptide.arrow_forward

A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?arrow_forward
