g It was noted in the Experimental Pathways feature in Section 10.4 that at least two- thirds of the human genome is derived from transposable elements. The actual number could be much higher, but it is impossible to make a determination about the origin of many other sequences. Why do you suppose it is difficult to make assignments about the origin of many of the sequences in the human genome

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

TEs are repetitive and mobile elements, thereby it is hard to trace their origins  

Explanation:

Repetitive elements are patterns of nucleotide sequences in the DNA characterized to have multiple copies throughout the genome. DNA mini-satellite and Transposable Elements (TEs) are some examples of highly repetitive DNA. TEs are repetitive mobile elements that have the ability to jump within the genome and occupy a major part of eukaryotic genomes. For instance, there is a type of TEs called retrotransposons which mobilize through a copy-and-paste mechanism, thus increasing their number in a genome. In consequence, TEs represent highly repetitive and dynamic genomic sequences, and thereby it is hard to trace their evolutionary histories.

The stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a light microscope.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

The cell division that takes place during the growth and development of an organism is in an as MITOSIS. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells that is, body cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. The difference stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a LIGHT MICROSCOPE. These stages includes:

--> PROPHASE: when viewed under a light microscope, each chromosome shortens and thickens and is seen to consist of two chromatids. The Centriole begin to separate.

--> METAPHASE: The nuclear membrane disappears, a spindle forms, the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle fibres at their centromeres.

--> ANAPHASE: The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of cell as the spindle fibres contract.

--> TELOPHASE: A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.

5. What does EGS stand for in geothermal energy?
A) Engraved Geothermal System
B) Enhanced Geothermal System
C) Exhaust Gas System
D) Engineered Geophysical System​

Answers

(EGS) stands Enhanced Geothermal Systems which can greatly increase geothermal energy utilization. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What is EGS?

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), which are also referred to as engineered geothermal systems on occasion, present a significant opportunity for significantly broadening the application of geothermal energy.

In an EGS, fluid is injected into the subsurface under conditions that are carefully regulated. This causes previously closed cracks to reopen, which in turn creates permeability in the rock. The increased permeability of the rock makes it possible for fluid to move freely within the newly fractured rock and for heat to be transported to the surface, where it can be used to create electricity.

No many people stay awake for 16 hours or more the only time you should be concerned is if you younger than the age of 13 try to sleep if you can try to get atleast 4 hours if any at all

It depends. 16 hours is a long time not to sleep. You need to sleep though. Your body needs at least 8 hours of sleep. But you need at least 5 to 6 hours of sleep. So your body can regenerate itself.

Explanation:

The TAS2R38 gene encodes a receptor protein that influences the ability to taste bitterness. The gene has two alleles: a dominant, wild-type allele that enables an individual (taster) to taste bitterness and a recessive, mutant allele that interferes with the ability of an individual (nontaster) to taste bitterness. In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, approximately how many individuals in the sample are expected to be heterozygous for TAS2R38

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1133.

Explanation:

According to H-W equilibrium;

p2 +2pq + q2 = 1 ........... eq.1   and

(p+q)2 = 1 ..............eq.2

Here q = frequency of the recessive allele,

and p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

The genotype of p2 + 2pq shows the dominant(taster) phenotype.

The genotype of q2 shows the recessive(non-taster) phenotype.

q^2 = (2400 - 1482)/2400

= 0.3825  

= 0.618

using eq. 2 we get p= 1-q

=0.382

2pq = No. of heterozygotes/2400

No. of heterozygotes = 1133.1648

Qualitative observations are those that cannot really be counted or measured by empirical figures, but are rather described by the features they have such as their color or taste.

Quantitative observations can be measured and counted by empirical figures  i.e. numbers such as age and temperature. Number operations such as addition can be performed on them as well.
