7 0
This deletion results in a polypeptide missing an amino acid. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects mostly the lungs, but also other organs such as the pancreas and the liver. It is caused by a mutation in the gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This mutation is a deletion of three nucleotides that cause the loss of the amino acid phenylalanine.

A volcanic eruption on the coast of Japan in 1850 deposits a layer of ash on top of a layer of red clay, and the ash is covered
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The series of events mentioned in this description are as follows -  

a) In 1850, ash layer deposits over the layer of red clay  

b) In 1902, layer of silt from tsunami covers the ash

Now pot is found in between ash and red clay layer  

While coin is found in between ash and silt.  

Thus, it is clear that pot was first buried between the ash and red clay layer. While coin was buried in 1902 above the ash layer but beneath the silt layer.  

Hence, option B is correct

The Meselson-Stahl experiment demonstrated that DNA replication is semiconservative. In the figure, semiconservative replication
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

There were three models for how organisms might replicate their DNA: semi-conservative, conservative, and dispersive.

The semi-conservative model, in which each strand of DNA serves as a template to make a new, complementary strand, seemed most likely based on DNA's structure.

The models were tested by Meselson and Stahl, who labeled the DNA of bacteria across generations using isotopes of nitrogen.

From the patterns of DNA labeling they saw, Meselson and Stahl confirmed that DNA is replicated semi-conservatively.

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.
