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.
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
Transposons need to regulate their copy number to avoid errors with chromosomal pairing during meiosis and mitosis such as unequal crossover.
A typical example of this error is called the Alu Sequence or Elements. Alu elements contain more than one million copies found everywhere in the genome of human beings.
Many inherited human diseases such as cancer are related to Alu insertions.

Answer:
by the sarcoplasmic reticulum's calcium ion pumps
Explanation:
Rigor mortis or postmortem rigidity, is a state caused by chemical changes in the muscles that occur post mortem and cause the limbs of the corpse to stiffen.
This occurs because after death, there is no cellular respiration and consequently, no oxygen nor ATP (ATP is required for the muscle relaxation).
Calcium enters the cytosol after death because it is released due to the deterioration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and due to the breakdown of the sarcolemma. Ca2+ ions activate the formation of actin-myosin cross-bridging necessary for the contraction. Muscles are unable to relax, because myosin heads continue to bind with the active sites of actin and there is no ATP to destabilize the myosin-actin bond.
Because an organism needs even more cells to help it function better and change as it grows (like metamorphosis and yes, puberty :p) and if the same amount of cells stay then the organism's cells will be functioning and working harder.....so cells divide so many different ones can continue to work on different parts of the organism as it grows and changes. Plus it'd be weird if we only had like 1 thousand cells in our body from mothers' pregnancy the size of hi-polymer erasers (the big ones)..........
ANSWER: POPULATION ECOLOGY
EXPLANATION:
The scientific field that deals with populations (i.e all individuals of a single species inhabiting a community) and how they interact with their extrinsic environment, is referred to as POPULATION ECOLOGY.
Thus, it's categorized under population ecology, because the research depicts how the number of individuals (beetles) in a population changes in time and the gross impact on their number decrease and loss of all the individuals (extinction) over a period of time.
