Radiation can cause breaks in human chromosomes. However, insects can survive much higher lecels of exposure. Why?

Biology
1 answer:
galben [10]1 year ago
4 0

Explanation:

The influence from radioactivity is inversely proportional to the number of chromosomes , since , humans have more DNA , chromosomes than the insects , and  therefore , due to less chromosomes in insects , they are more resistant towards radioactivity .

As the target of the radiation is the DNA .

Hence , It is clear that insect due to lesser DNA are less prone to Radiations .

A student reads in a science blog that viruses take over a host cell to grow and reproduce. Why do viruses depend on host cells
jekas [21]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Usually a virus is mainly made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a capsid/envelope. It has no organelles like a ‘true’ cell. Because it cannot reproduce on its own, scientists struggle to categorize it as a living thing since  reproduction is a property of living things. The virus reproduces by hijacking the cellular mechanisms of the host cells to replicate itself. It does so by integrating itself in the genome of the host so that its DNA is also replicated, along with that of the host, by the host cell DNA polymerases and its proteins produced by the ribosomes of the host.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Option A, shared their data with colleagues to obtain feedback on the work.

Explanation:

All researchers prefer to share their findings with their peers or other researchers working in the same field to get their reviews. This step is very essential as it makes the research authentic and removes the flaws that would have otherwise missed by the researcher.  

Peer reviewers also give useful suggestion to further modify one’s research study based on their experiences.  

Hence, option A is correct

balandron [24]

Answer:

the reporter gene can randomly insert near to an enhancer sequence which can induce its expression

Explanation

Enhancers are genetic sequences capable of activating gene expression by binding to specific proteins (e.g., transcription factors). Enhancers can regulate the expression of nearby genes located thousands of nucleotides away, i.e., over several kilobases away. In the human genome, it is well known that enhancers are scattered across the 98% of the genome. In this case, it is expected that the reporter GFP gene construct is randomly inserted near an enhancer sequence (a 10% chance of insertion), thereby being regulated by that enhancer.
