Biology

5 0

Answer:

exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a correct answer.

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light exposure results in the formation of pyrimidine dimers. Ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA by resulting in chemical changes.

Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the pyrimidine bases( cytosine and thymine in DNA) and result in the formation of covalent bonds between the succeeding bases.

The formation of the pyrimidine dimers results in the distortions of DNA helix and disrupt the base-pairing during the replication of DNA which results in a mutation.

A grown tiger began its life as a single fertilized egg. Explain why a tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as
blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>

Again, imagine that your liver, which has a volume of 2 liters, developed from a single embryonic precursor cell with a volume o
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

41 cycles

If cell division went 2 cell division cycle beyond the  precursor; we have 43 cycles

The volume would be = 17.59 Litres

Explanation:

From the given information:

The number of cells in the liver that developed from an embryonic precursor is roughly \dfrac{2}{10^{-12}}= 2\times10^{12}

The number of cell cycles needed to produce 2\times 10^{12  cells is:

= log_2(2\times 10^{12})

= 40.86

\simeq 41

Thus, nearly 41 cycles of cell division are required to form the mature liver.

Now;

Suppose 2 extra cell division cycles took place;

The total number of cells would be 2⁴³ = 1.759 × 10¹³; &

The volume would be =  1.759 × 10¹³ × 10⁻¹²

The volume would be = 17.59 Litres

Why are G-protein coupled receptors often known as 7TM receptors? A. They have 7 transmembrane β-pleated sheets. B. They have 7
Nataliya [291]

Answer: B

Explanation:

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-(pass)-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein–linked receptors (GPLR),comprises of a large protein family of receptors that discover molecules outside the cell and initiate internal signal transduction pathways and, eventually, cellular responses. They are called seven-transmembrane receptors because they pass through the cell membrane seven times

goblinko [34]

AraC protein certain to the ara operator works as a repressor that avoid transcription of the same ara operon and the araC gene AraC protein is an activator in the presence of arabinose and repressor in the absence of arabinose -With arabinose absent, the AraC protein stays as
a homodimer. One AraC protein put together to the ara initiator and the other protein now binds to a different regulatory site in DNA called the ara operator.
