Figure 1 represents a segment of DNA. Radiation can damage the nucleotides in a DNA molecule. To repair some types of damage, a

single nucleotide can be removed from a DNA molecule
and replaced with an undamaged nucleotide. Which of the four labeled bonds in Figure 1 could be broken to remove and replace the cytosine nucleotide without affecting the biological
information coded in the DNA molecule?

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).

One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.

NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.

Contrast the different ways bromeliads and pitcher plants acquire nutrients from animal sources. NOT COMPARE.
dezoksy [38]
<span>Bromeliads are an example of mutualism where they create mini-ecosystems that house other small animals by collecting rainwater in their leaves. The bromeliad benefits from the nutrients when these organisms decompose when they die. Unlike the Pitcher plants which are predators, they actively trap insects and other small animals in their pitchers.

The types of cells found in the parathyroid gland are the parathyroid cells (productive glandular cells) and the oxyphil cells.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

The parathyroid gland refers to the four small endocrine glands located in the neck region behind the thyroid. It secretes the parathyroid hormone or parathormone which regulates the calcium levels in our bodies. It comprises two types of cells which are:

a. The oxyphil cells appear at the onset of puberty and they have no known functions. They appear pink or orange when stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain.

b. The chief cells are more abundant compared to the oxyphil cells and stain dark purple by the action of hematoxylin and eosin stain. Their major function is to produce parathyroid hormone which regulates the amount of calcium in the body.

Heavy rains and mudslides cause a river to change course, isolating two groups of lizards from one another. If they remain isola
Stells [14]

If they remain isolated for a long period of time, the two groups will probably diverge genetically, and may result in speciation.

Genetic divergence is the process whereby two groups of the same ancestral species acquire autonomous genetic changes through time, usually after the groups have been separated reproductively for some period of time.

Speciation is an evolutionary process whereby populations develop to become different species.
