Which of the following is used to determine a person's DNA sequence? 

The approximate threshold value for mammalian neurons is -55 mV.

The threshold potential is the critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential.

Most often, the threshold potential is a membrane potential value between –50 and –55 mV

The membrane potential of a neuron is determined by the distribution of ions across the cell membrane.

At rest, the inside of a neuron is more negative than the outside due to the presence of negatively charged proteins and other molecules.

The movement of ions across the cell membrane can change the membrane potential.

For example, when sodium ions enter the cell, they make the inside of the cell more positive (less negative), causing depolarization.

Choice B is incorrect because -80 mV is below the typical threshold value for mammalian neurons.

Choice C is incorrect because +35 mV is above the typical threshold value for mammalian neurons.

Choice D is incorrect because 0 mV is above the typical threshold value for mammalian neurons.

As a solid turns to a liquid, the particles become less ordered and more free to move around.

Choice B is not correct because particles have an increase in mobility as a solid turns to a liquid.

Choice C is not correct because particles move further apart as a solid turns to a liquid.

Choice D is not correct because intermolecular forces between particles become weaker as a solid turns to a liquid.

Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects.

The data in the table shows that as the number of filters (and therefore the mass) increases, the terminal velocity also increases.

This means that the heavier objects (with more filters) are falling faster than the lighter objects (with fewer filters).

Choice A is not supported by the data in the table as much as it is true.

Terminal velocity is indeed when the force of gravity is equal to air resistance, but this definition does not provide any information about the relationship between mass and terminal velocity.

Choice B is also not supported by the data in the table.

The data does not provide any information about the time it takes for an object to reach terminal velocity.

Choice D is not supported by the data in the table.

The data shows that as the number of filters increases, the terminal velocity also increases.

This means that the greater the number of filters, the greater (not smaller) the terminal velocity.

Testosterone is classified as an androgen hormone.

Androgens are a type of sex hormone that primarily regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics, such as body hair growth, muscle mass, and deepening of the voice.

Testosterone is produced primarily in the testes in males and in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands in females.

Option A, estrogen, is a female hormone that regulates the development of female sexual characteristics, such as breast growth and menstruation.

While estrogen and testosterone are both steroid hormones and can be converted to one another in the body, testosterone is not categorized as estrogen.

Option B, progestin, is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone.

Progesterone is a female hormone that plays a role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Testosterone and progestin are not related, and testosterone is not categorized as progestin.

Option C, aldosterone, is a mineralocorticoid hormone that regulates salt and water balance in the body.

It is produced in the adrenal gland and plays a role in regulating blood pressure.

Testosterone and aldosterone are not related, and testosterone is not categorized as aldosterone.

A totipotent cellcan self-renew by dividing and develop into the three primary germ cell layers of the early embryo and into extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta.

A fertilized egg is a totipotent stem cell and as such can develop into any specialized cell found in the organism.

Choice A is not correct because totipotent cells do not fight infectious diseases.

Choice B is not correct because totipotent cells do not aid in the maturation of sex cells.

Choice C is not correct because totipotent cells do not carry electrical impulses.

Microtubule organization.

Centrosomes are organelles that serve as the main microtubule-organizing centers for animal cells.

They regulate the movement of microtubules and other cytoskeletal structures, thereby facilitating changes in the shapes of the membranes of animal cells.

Choice A, Organelle trafficking, is not the correct answer because while centrosomes do play a role in intracellular trafficking during interphase by organizing an astral ray of microtubules, their main function is microtubule organization.

Choice B, Pathogen digestion, is not the correct answer because centrosomes do not play a direct role in pathogen digestion.

Choice C, Cytoplasm formation, is not the correct answer because centrosomes do not play a direct role in cytoplasm formation.

Control.

A control group is a group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment or manipulation being tested and is used as a benchmark to measure how the other tested subjects do.

The control group is used to minimize the effects of all variables except the independent variable.

This allows researchers to determine if changes in the dependent variable are due to the manipulation of the independent variable or if they are due to some other factor.

Choice A.

Responding is not the correct answer because it refers to the dependent variable, which is the variable that is being measured in an experiment.

Choice B.

Manipulated is not the correct answer because it refers to the independent variable, which is the variable that is being manipulated in an experiment.

Choice D.

Variable is not the correct answer because it refers to any factor that can change in an experiment and can include both independent and dependent variables.

ff.

In this cross, both parents are homozygous recessive for the smooth leaf trait

(ff).

This means that all of their offspring will inherit two copies of the recessive allele (f) and will therefore have smooth leaves.

Choice A.

FF x FF is not correct because both parents are homozygous dominant for the fuzzy leaf trait (FF) and all of their offspring will inherit two copies of the dominant allele (F) and will therefore have fuzzy leaves.

Choice B.

Ff x Ff is not correct because both parents are heterozygous for the leaf trait (Ff) and their offspring can inherit either one dominant allele (F) or one recessive allele (f) from each parent, resulting in a 3:1 ratio of fuzzy to smooth leaves. Choice D.

Ff x ff is not correct because one parent is heterozygous for the leaf trait (Ff) while the other is homozygous recessive (ff), resulting in a 1:1 ratio of fuzzy to smooth leaves in their offspring.

The best reason for the prolonged preservation of the body is that it was frozen in the cold temperature of the Alps shortly after he died and remained frozen until it was found.

Freezing can preserve a body by slowing down or stopping the decomposition process.

Choice A is not correct because the food that the person ate would not have contained toxins that killed the bacteria that would have otherwise destroyed the body.

Choice B is not correct because the arrow wound would not have caused blood to flow out of the body in a way that would have cleared enzymes that break down tissue from the body.

Choice D is not correct because ultraviolet rays at high altitude would not have caused all of the body’s molecules to be preserved.

Genes are used in the process of DNA sequencing to determine the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule.

Choice B.

Blood types is not the correct answer because blood types are determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells and are not directly related to DNA sequencing.

Choice C.

Hormones is not the correct answer because hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the body and are not directly involved in DNA sequencing.

Choice D.

Genes is the correct answer because genes are used in the process of DNA sequencing to determine the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule.
