Introduction:
The reproduction in which the offspring arises from a single organism and genes of only one parent are inherited is called asexual reproduction. The fusion of gametes, changes in the chromosomes, and crossing over are not involved in asexual reproduction.
Answer to Problem 1TYK
Correct answer:
The term parthenogenesis refers to a mode of asexual reproduction, which involves the development of the offspring from unfertilized eggs.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/Justification for the correct statement:
Option (a) is given as parthenogenesis. The reproduction process where the offspring develops from an ovum without fertilization is called as parthenogenesis. It is the process where offsprings are generated by mitosis, or by meiosis, or by the fusion of two of the products of meiosis. Parthenogenesis occurs in a wide diversity of lineages, including certain invertebrates, fishes, lizards, snakes, and birds. This process usually is observed in some invertebrates, fishes, lizards, snakes, birds, and plants. It is a form of asexual reproduction. The embryos develop without fertilization. Hence, Option (a) is correct.
Explanation for incorrect answers:
Option (b) is given as budding. Budding is also a type of asexual reproduction. The new organism develops from a bud or an outgrowth with the help of cell division. The yeast cells also produce a small bulb-like structure called the bud. So, it is incorrect.
Option (c) is given as regeneration. The process of restoration, renewal, and growth is called regeneration. The process of regeneration is used in cells, organisms, genomes, and others. In some animals, some parts of the body can be regenerated. So, it is incorrect.
Option (d) is given as fission. The fission is the process of division of a single cell or an entity, which generates two or more parts. These parts develop into separate entities independent of each other. Most of the cells undergo fission. A single-celled organism such as Paramecium and Amoeba undergo binary fission. So, it is incorrect.
Hence, options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
The type of reproduction, in which the offspring develops from the unfertilized eggs, is called parthenogenesis.

- List substitutions in your diet you could make to improve it based on what you know now about a balanced diet. For instance, if you like to drink soda, you might substitute skim milk or water for some of the soft drinks you consumed. List the item you wish to replace with the new item and what you hope to accomplish with that substitution. Be sure to choose foods you know that you'd enjoy and you consider more "healthful." If you feel your diet is already balanced, describe how you accomplish your balanced intake and when you began eating this way.arrow_forwardWhich single food item contained you ate for the 3 days with the most sodium?arrow_forwardSelect a diet and choose one site that provides credible information.

In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just 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: (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 po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate.

However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0 Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present. Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…arrow_forward
