Gene locus A is 12mu from gene locus X35 and 24mu from gene locus p2. Therefore, you can be confident that gene locus X35 is abo

Answer: false

Explanation:

we can say that the genetic map has 2 options

A …12 mu …X35 …12 mu … p2

with the fact of knowing the location of a single gene we can define the distances that the genes have, as in the previous graph, however when the "A" gene is located in the middle of the map the distance of the X35 gene will no longer be 12 mu with respect to the locus p2 gene and the X35 gene will have 36mu with the locus p2 gene

X35 … 12 mu … A …24 mu …p2

When finding the gene "A" is in one of the genetic maps, we can affirm that the answer is correct

A …12 mu … X35 …12 mu …p2

What would be the consequence to an organism if they are missing the following DNA repair mechanisms:
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a. DNA polymerase proofreading:   consequence of its absence is the DNA mutation

b.  Mismatch repair enzymes : consequence of its absence impedes homologous recombination resulting in the final mutation

c. Nucleotide excision repair enzymes : the absence of nucleotide cleavage repair enzymes would impede the functioning of damaged DNA repair mechanisms

Explanation:

a. DNA polymerases are the enzymes that form the DNA in cells. During DNA replication (copying), most DNA polymerases can "check their work" with each base they add. This process is called review. If the polymerase detects that you have added a wrong nucleotide (incorrectly paired), remove it and replace it immediately, before continuing with DNA synthesis

b. In homologous recombination, the information from the homologous chromosome that matches that of the damaged one (or from a sister chromatid if the DNA has been copied) is used to repair the fragmentation. In this process the two homologous chromosomes are approached and the undamaged region of the homologue or the chromatide is used as a template to replace the damaged region of the broken chromosome. Homologous recombination is "cleaner" than the union of non-homologous ends and does not usually cause 11 mutations

c. Excision repair: damage to one or a few DNA bases is usually fixed by removing (excising) and replacing the damaged region. In repair by base cleavage, only the damaged base is removed. In nucleotide excision repair, as in the mating repair we saw earlier, a nucleotide section is removed

Water is essential for survival. It is important to understand the factors that affect water balance and the best sources to hel
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2-Water helps maintain body temperature.

3-Diuretics like alcohol and some medications can cause the body to lose water.

Explanation:

Dehydration occurs when the amount of what loss is more than the amount taken. And we lose water in many ways therefore taking water on a regular basis is important to replace the fluids lost and keep the body functioning.

Water Maintains the Body Temperature

During high temperature, the body cools itself naturally by sweating and by sweating a large amount of water is lost. So when enough water is not taken, there will be less production of sweating thereby causing the body's temperature to rise.

Alcohol Causes Water Loss

Taking excess alcohol can result to dehydration because the hormone called anti-diuretic (while alcohol is diuretic) is used to reabsorb water by the body and alcohol in the body depletes the production of this hormone. The body loses more water than normal with a reduced amount of anti-diuretic in the body. Excessive intake of alcohol can also cause vomiting, which depletes the body of fluids and can cause further dehydration.

The axial skeleton provides an extensive surface area for the attachment of muscles that __________.
garik1379 [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • Adjusts the positions of the head, the neck, and the trunk
  • Perform respiratory movements
  • Stabilize or position parts of the appendicular skeleton
  • All of the above

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The axial skeleton is the group of bones which forms the centre of the skeletal system. The central portion of the skeletal system includes bones of the skull, bones associated with the skull, the thorax, and the vertebral column (spinal cord).

There are 80 axial skeletal bones out of which 22 bones are present in the skull, 7 attached to the skull, 25 in a thoracic cage and 26 in the vertebral column.

The axial skeleton help maintains the position of the appendicular skeleton, maintain the posture of the body by maintaining the posture of the neck, head and trunk and also help in the respiratory movements.

Thus, all of the above is correct.
