The fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) is the largest baleen whale found in the Mediterranean Sea. It is the world’s second largest cetacean (a marine mammal of the order Cetacea – a whale, dolphin, or porpoise), after the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus). The karyotype shown here was generated from an adult fin whale.     A fin whale cell undergoing meiosis will have [1] chromosomes and [2] chromatids in each cell at the end of meiosis I. At the end of meiosis II, it will have [3] chromosomes and [4] chromatids in each cell.

Which of the following is a physiologic response to decreased cardiac output?

When injecting an intravenous push medication into intravenous tubing with a primary solution infusing, the nurse should select which injection port?

Which one of the following factors contributes to the ability of eukaryotic cells to complete DNA replication during the short window of time offered by S phase?

Given 2M(g) = 3M2(g) with enthalpy of reaction -12 kJ/mol, how does the reaction respond when: The pressure is decreased [Pdec]. The temperature is decreased [Tdec]. M(g) is removed [Mrem]

Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a genetic condition found in certain dog breeds; its is particularly prevalent in Entlebucher Mountain Dogs.  PRA  is characterized by the bilateral degeneration of the retina (in the eye) causing progressive vision loss culminating in blindness. The condition  is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.   Two Entlebucher Mountain Dogs, both carriers, have a pup with PRA.  What is the probability that their next two pups will not have PRA?

What is the osmotic pressure of a 1.8 M sodium hydroxide solution at 279 K? Assume the ideal van’t Hoff factor. Answer in atm. Do not type units. Do not use scientific notation. 

The reaction FeCl3(aq) + 6NH3(aq) = Fe(NH3)6Cl3(s) + 3Cl- has Kc = 12. The current concentrations are [NH3] = 0.74 M and [FeCl3] = 0.98 M and [Cl-] = 2.3 M. How will the reaction progress toward equilibrium?

von Willebrand’s disease (vWD) is a blood clotting disorder in standard poodles. A defect in the gene that encodes the the von Willebrand factor (a blood clotting protein) is responsible for the vWD phenotype in homozygous (ww) individuals.  W is the dominant allele and w is the recessive allele because the W allele
