<u>Phenylketonuria</u>
Explanation:
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a type of a rare inherited metabolic disorder.
Etiology: PKU results from excessive accumulation of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. Normally, phenylalanine will be converted to tyrosine (forms neurotransmitters) by the action of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase.
Among people with PKU, a defect in the PAH gene which codes to synthesize this enzyme occurs which leads to the absence of this enzyme. So the phenylalanine which is normally present in dietary protein is not metabolized and gets accumulated. This gene is inherited by the child only if both the parents are with the defective PAH gene.
Symptoms: Stunted growth, behaviroral disturbances, learning difficulties, seizures, tremors etc.
Treatment: Basic treatment is to follow a diet which limits dietary sources of phenylalanine. High protein foods like meat, egg should be avoided. Children can be given PKU formula to supplement their nutritional needs.
Answer:
The correct answer is A) differentiated cells retain all the genes of the zygote
Explanation:
A plant can be cloned from the somatic cells which shows that the differentiated cell of plants have the ability to divide and differentiate to produce a new plant. This property of the cell is called totipotency.
All the cells in plants are not totipotent but some cells under proper condition can show the property of totipotency. Totipotency property shows that the differentiated cell is having all the genes that were present in the zygote.
This property of plant cells is used by scientist in plant tissue culture to produce plants for research and other purposes. So the right answer is A.
Answer: Speciation
Speciation is biological process in which new species are formed from the existing species. This occurs when the members of the population gets separated from others by a geographical, behavioral or other barriers. Such separated organism develop traits with the course of evolution, which makes them reproductively isolated with the parent population. The speciation can be of two types:
1. Allopatric speciation: The separated population evolve into separate species due to a geographical isolation.
2. Sympatric speciation: The separated population evolve into separate species without any geographical isolation.
The question is asking to choose the following process could the breeder use to determine if Sam is the father of the pups and in my further research and in my own understanding, I would say that the answer would be Y-Chromosome Analysis. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
The statement, which best describes the evidence that Group 3’s data are less valid than the data for the other two groups is this: GROUP 3’S pH VALUE FOR VINEGAR IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE VALUES OF THE OTHER TWO GROUPS.
An experimental result is said to be valid, if it gives the true values of the parameters it has measure. Looking at the experimental results given in the question above, one will notice that, the pH value obtained by group 3 for vinegar is quite different from that of the other two groups. In addition, the value is wrong, this is because, vinegar is acidic in nature. The result obtained by group 3 indicates that vinegar is basic, which is wrong. This shows that the results obtained by group 3 is less valid than that of the other two groups.
