When an open reading frame (ORF) is identified, it may not actually correspond to the amino acid sequence of any polypeptide in

the cell. Why not? (Select all that apply.)
a. The DNA may not be transcribed into RNA.
b. The amino acid sequence may not match any known sequence.
c. The ORF could be due to chance.
d. It may contain one or more stop codons in the middle.

Answer:

The correct answers are options a and c.

Explanation:

In certain cases, when an ORF or an open reading frame is determined, it may not actually correspond to the amino acid sequence of any polypeptide in the cell. This may have occurred as the ORF could have taken place by chance, or the DNA may not have got transcribed into RNA at all.  

Some of the ORFs are found by mere chance, the ORFs, which codes for sixty amino acids can take place frequently by chance, that is, 5 percent according to the Poisson model.  

Even in some of the cases, the ORFs, which codes for about 150 amino acids could have also taken place by chance in some of the bigger genomes, in which the percentage of occurrence is about 0.05 percent. Also, in some of the circumstances, it can take place as DNA does not get transcribed at all into RNA.

Drag the labels to show how the glucose and hormone levels will change in each mouse after they are joined by parabiosis. labels
babunello [35]
<span>Answer: Parabiosis is an effective way to evaluate hormone function because it permits the exchange of only long-lived molecules (such as hormones) between the two joined individuals. Thus, the glucose levels of each mouse will stay the same, but the hormone levels will not. The db mutant's hormone level will decrease, and the wild type's hormone level will increase. Coleman's goal was to determine if the ob and db genes function in the hormonal regulation of appetite and body fat. In this experiment, if both appetite-suppressing hormone and glucose were exchanged, it would be impossible to determine whether any weight changes in the mice were caused by the transfer of hormone or the transfer of glucose from one mouse to the other. For example, an increase in hormone level (and thus greater appetite suppression) could lead to weight loss, as could a decrease in glucose level. On the other hand, a decrease in hormone level or an increase in glucose level could lead to weight gain.</span>

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

An unconditioned response.

Explanation:

Pavlov was the process of studying salivation in dogs as a part of a research program on chewing and digestion. This is known as a normal reflex that is under personal choice or control and also called an unlearned evolutionary response.

In terms of Pavlov's analysis of learning, Pavlov built a device that would help to accurately measure the amount of saliva produced by dogs. In the case of Pavlov dogs, the food is called as the stimulus and salivation is called as a response.
