b. insomnia
c. stupor
d. torpor

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is a. hibernation. 

Hibernation is an extended state of decreased body function, primarily body temperature and metabolism rate. It occurs during the winter when food availability is reduced. Also, hibernation helps animals to preserve energy that would be used to maintain body temperature during long cold winters. It should be distinguished from torpor which is a short-term reduction of body functions. 
Stupor is the lack of consciousness and mental function, while insomnia is a sleep disorder.

The FBI uses STR (short tandem repeat) analysis to identify criminals, and the FBI stores the information in a database. How many regions, or loci, of DNA are used for STR analysis?

Answers

The answer is thirteen.

STR stands for short tandem repeats. In this analysis, highly polymorphic regions with short tandem repeats are used. In FBI investigation, thirteen regions are analyzed and compared. The chance for two people to have the exact same thirteen regions is almost impossible (1 : 1 billion or less). This way a difference between two DNA profiles could be assessed.

Inbreeding involves the crossing of organisms that are genetically related to each other. What is a possible disadvantage of inbreeding?

Answers

Inbreeding compresses the gene pool, making it more likle for a genetic abbheration to occur.
Passing on negative mutations. This is seen by Cheetahs having sperm with low fertility. This was caused by nearly all of them dying out, which reduced the gene pool and meant they had to inbreed to avoid extinction.

Answers

Which observation proves that a cell is a eukaryote?

Answer: Out of all the options that are shown above the one that is an observation that is used to prove that a cell is a eukaryote is answer choice B) It has DNA inside a nucleus. Also Eukaryote cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Answer: B) It has DNA inside a nucleus.

An eukaryotic cell is the cell which exhibit membrane bound organelles. They exhibit a well defined membrane bound nucleus in which the DNA (deoxyribo nucleic acid) resides it is the genetic material which is passed on from parents to their offsprings. This property of the eukaryotic cell makes it distinct from prokaryotic cell as the prokaryotic cell lack a nucleus.
