Galactosemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to metabolize the sugar galactose. People with galactosemia

suffer from liver, kidney, and brain damage among other symptoms. A gene mutation underlying galactosemia was identified by sequencing the genome of a person with galactosemia. What additional evidence would support the hypothesis that the mutation in the candidate gene causes the disease

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.

What similarities and differences do the phytoplankton share with members of kingdom plantae?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The similarities that can be seen in the members of kingdom plantae and plankton is that both of them perform photosynthesis.

These organisms provide oxygen and food to the other members. These members get energy for living their life.

The planktons and the members of kingdom plantae requires nutrients for their growth and development.

The differences that can be seen in the plankton and members of plantae is that plankton are found on the surface of water.

The members of plantae can be found on the land, on the surface of water. But some of the species like brown and red algae are found in the depth of sea or ocean.

A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Placing salty water in  A and distilled water in  B.

Explanation:

The fastest net rate of water movement into the A-side will occur if we place salty water on that side and distilled water in the other one. The reason for this is that the A-side contains a higher concentration of solute than B. So, the water will pass the semipermeable membrane and go to the A-side to valance the concentrations on both sides. As we can see, there is an increase in the net rate of water movement into A.
