Speed and precision have been one of the main differences between an older and a more modern genetically modified food. In addition, these genetically modified organisms have yielded crop efficiencies although it also involves in various debates because of its unethical nature.

Becky is a 53-year-old woman living in Seattle, Washington, with her husband Tim and their dog Tipper. Even though they both hav

Alika [10]

Answer:

Becky’s doctor provided only supportive care because the toxin that poisoned her, the demoic acid, has no known antidotes; which happen to be the only cure for toxins.

Antimicrobial were not part of Becky's treatment because Becky was infected by a toxin and not a microbial infection.

Diatoms are not different from eukaryotic cells or eukaryotes. they are Eukaryotes, which are different from prokaryotes. However both the eukaryotes (diatoms) and the prokaryotes possess cytoplasm, plasma membrane and ribosomes.

Explanation:

Demoic acid is a marine bio-toxin that results in Amnesic Shellfish poisoning (ASP). This biotoxin is produced by diatoms of the species Nitzschia navis-varingica of the genus Pseudo-Nitzschia. This intoxication can result in symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, hemorrhagic gastritis) to neurological disturbances (including headaches, diziness, disorientation, vision disturbances, loss of short term memory, motor weakness, abnormal heart rhythm, unstable blood pressure, etc.). In more severe cases, it could lead to permanent short term memory loss, brain damage, coma, and death. Due to the lack of antidotes for this toxin, it is advised that medical attention be sought as soon as possible, where the patient can be closely monitored and cared for.

There's a difference between toxins and microbial infections. while Microbial infections are caused by harmful microorganisms infecting the body tissue and cells, toxins are harmful substances produced by microorganisms. Hence, the approach for treatment for both cases are different.

Diatoms are eukaryotic cells or eukaryotes, which are organisms that have a membrane enclosing in their nucleus, hence they have a true nucleus and organelles bound by a membrane, supporting functions in compartments. Prokayotic cells or prokayotes, on the other hand, which are typically smaller, do not possess a protective membrane around their nucleus or any organelles enclosed by the membrane. Regardless of their differences, they still both share similarities. After all, they both are cells. So they have the basic features of cells. These similarities include the possession of a cytoplasm, ribosomes, plasma membrane.

The enzyme telomerase is part protein and part RNA. What would be the most likely effect of a large deletion in the gene that en

Artist 52 [7]

Answer: option A, B and D

Explanation:

The telomeres found at the terminal ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are long repetitive sequences that protects the DNA from being identify as a damage molecule to encourage fusion with other chromosomes. Since replication does not extend down to these 3' ends, the cell recruits the telomerase enzyme which is a ribonucleoprotein that helps to add telomeric repeats using its own RNA component as template to extend this end. Thus if mutation like a large deletion occurs in the gene encoding for this enzyme, the telomerase would not be able to associate correctly with the telomere, the catalytic center also encoding for its RNA polymerase would be altered and the enzymes will not be able to synthesize new telomeric repeats sequences

Trace the flow of energy through a typical food chain (describing "what eats what"), including the original source of that energ

slava [35]

You need to draw a food chain starting with something small like bacteria and and getting back around the loop to bacteria again( explaining what the the previous organism does to the next for example it eats it). Then you need to underline the organisms/animals. Then write in bold the way it got the energy from the previous one( for example if it eats it )

Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

So, en the exposed example:

J and K are autosomal genes

J and K are separated by 60 M.U.

60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross) J K / j k x j k / j k

Gametes) JK Parental jk, jk, jk, jk

jk Parental

Jk Recombinant

jK Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

30% Jk + 30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

20% JK + 20% jk

Punnet Square) JK jk Jk jK

jk JK/jk jk/jk Jk/jk jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%
