Which type of mutation results in a frame shift mutation? Check all that apply? Substitute Insertion Deletion Point mutation

Answers

Answer: Insertion, Deletion

Explanation:

The frameshift mutation can be defined as a genetic mutation that is caused by the deletion or insertion of the DNA sequence or base pairs that shifts the sequence to be read. As a result of this the abnormal proteins are produced along with incorrect amino acid sequence that either shorter or longer than the normal protein.

In 1668 Francesco Redi did a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze will exclude the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat.
Refer to the paragraph on Redi's experiments. In both experiments, fies appeared in all of the open jars and only in the open jars. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. The experiment was inconclusive because it did not nun long enough
B. The experiment supports the hypothesis that spontaneous generation occurs in rotting meat.
C. The expertment supports the hwpothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flhes
D. The experiment was inconclusive because Redi used only one kind of meat

Answers

Answer:

The experiment supports the hypothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flies; that is  only from reproduction and development.

Explanation:

The objective of this experimental set up by Francesco Radi  was to demonstrate the concept of spontaneous generation. He concluded that, Maggots are not spontaneous generated from rotten meats, rather they are products of eggs laid by houseflies who visited the rotten meat to lay eggs. The maggots (larva) are products of complete metamorphosis, from egg to larva to pupa and adult. This is an indication that, new organisms are not formed form spontaneously, but are products of well-defined process of reproduction and development which in this case is a  complete metamorphosis.

Based on this premise he concluded that, if maggots were products of  laid eggs, then they should appear only  when rotten meat is exposed to  open air.However,if they are f products of spontaneous generation they should appear irrespective of  the meat exposure to air or not.

In a songbird species, defending a territory saved the bird 584 calories a day in reduced foraging activity, but cost the bird 656 calories in defense of the territory. Is defending the territory consistent with the prediction from optimal foraging theory, and what can explain this

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "No, this is not consistent with the predictions on optimality".

Explanation:

The optimal foraging theory (OFT) establishes that an organism looks for the best foraging strategy, which involves maximizing the amount of energy that is available in its daily activities. In this case, the songbird species is not consistent with the predictions on optimality since it needs more calories than it intakes in order to defend its territory. In this scenario, the songbird will lose 72 calories per day.

Answers

Answer:

Hemoccult test sensitivity is 89.3% and specificity is 92.7%

Explanation:

Hemoccult test is a test that is carried out in order to find out the presence of occult blood in your stool. This method is used to detect colorectal cancer in your body. Blue color of the blood indicate that the test is positive while the green color represents that the test is negative. Test sensitivity is the ability of a test which identify the person who is affected with the disease i. e. true positive, whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify the patient without the disease. The value of sensitivity of the Hemoccult test is 89.3% the specificity is 92.7%, and the positive predictive value is 2.5%.

Mutant 5-TAGTCGATGCTTAGGCATCT-3
B. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mutant 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATAT-3
C. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mutant 5-TAGTTGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
D. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mutant 5-TAGTCCAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3

Answers

Answer:

C. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3

Mutant 5-TAGTTGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3

Explanation:

In the wild type, the DNA sequence encodes the following aminoacidic segment: SRSLGI; while the mutant form has a stop codon in the second codon (TGA). A stop codon is a trinucleotide sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) that indicates a stop signal in protein synthesis. There are three types of stop codons: UGA, UAG and UAA, where U represents Uracile in the mRNA instead of Thymine in the DNA sequence.

Representation:  

C. WT 5-T AGT CGA AGC TTA GGC ATC T-3 >> 5'3' Frame 1 = SRSLGI

Mutant 5-T AGT TGA AGC TTA GGC ATC T-3 >> 5'3' Frame 1 = S-, where - represents a stop codon (TGA) and therefore it is the end of the protein.

Biochemical changes in the body, that affect the rate of metabolism and elimination of a substance from the body and produce increased amounts to achieve the desired effects, may lead to development of

Answers

Answer:

Tolerance

Explanation:

Tolerance is the capacity of an organism to survive changes in certain environmental and biochemical conditions. It has to with changes an organism is able to withstand when is subjected to certain factors which can biotic or abiotic.

For example, in the consumption of alcohol, tolerance can occur when there is a fast elimination of alcohol from the body system. This is usually as a result of the activation of a group of enzymes that is responsible for the metabolism of alcohol in excessive alcohol drinkers. The activation of this enzymes increases the catabolism of alcohol and hence reduces the active time within the body, hence reducing the time by which alcohol intoxicates.

Macromolecules in the cell can often interact transiently as a result of noncovalent interactions. These weak interactions also produce stable, highly specific interactions between molecules. Which of the factors below is the most significant in determining whether the interaction will be transient or stable?
a) the size of each molecule
b) the number of chemical bonds between the molecules
c) the concentration of each molecule
d) rate of synthesis

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option b) "the number of chemical bonds between the molecules".

Explanation:

Chemical bonds are the forces that enable the formation of compounds. The number of chemical bonds is a determining factor to know if an interaction will be transient of stable. The more chemical bonds the more stable an interaction will be. Few chemical bonds between molecules makes an interaction unstable and easy to break, enabling transient interactions that are key to certain biological pathways.

Each of two parents has the genotype brown divided by red​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine hair color​, and each parent contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown. a. List the different possible outcomes. Assume that these outcomes are equally likely. b. What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the red divided by red ​genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color​?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Each of two parents has the genotype brown divided by red​

So ;

The man's genotype is : [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}[/tex]

The woman's genotype is : [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}[/tex]

This [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}[/tex] genotype consist of the pair of alleles that determine hair color​

Now; we are given an assumption that:

if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown.

i.e Brown allele is dominant to Red allele

(a) List the different possible outcomes.

The cross between :

[tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}* \mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}}}[/tex] will produce the following offsprings which is the different possible outcomes.

[tex]= \mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Brown} \ \ : \ \ \mathbf {\dfrac{Brown}{Red}} \ \ : \ \ \mathbf {\dfrac{Red}{Brown}} \ \ : \ \ \mathbf {\dfrac{Red}{Red} }}[/tex]

(b) . What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the red divided by red ​genotype?

The probability that the child of  these parents will have [tex]\mathbf {\dfrac{Red}{Red} }}[/tex] is one out of four

i.e

= 1/4

= 0.25

(c) What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color​.

We are being told that;  if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown.

i.e Brown allele is dominant to Red allele

Thus; from above we will see that three of the offsprings have at least one brown allele;

Thus; the probability  that the child will have brown hair color​ is = 3/4

= 0.75

Please describe the regulation of the blood glucose 6 hours after a meal?
Please include all relevant organs, hormones, and actions.

Answers

Answer:

Find the description below in the explanation section

Explanation:

The body system regulates the blood sugar level via the hand-in-hand working of insulin and glucagon hormones, both produced by the Pancreas. After a meal, the food undergoes digestion and is broken down into glucose, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. Insulin hormone is released by the pancreas (stimulated by a negative feedback) when the sugar level of the blood increases. This secretion of insulin causes cells to absorb glucose as source of energy, while liver and muscle cells store some of the excess blood glucose as GLYCOGEN.

However, after about 6 hours of taking the meal, the blood sugar (glucose) level must have decreased. This triggers the secretion of Glucagon hormone by the Pancreas. Glucagon hormone, acts in an opposite manner as Insulin hormone, by causing the stored GLYCOGEN in the liver and muscle cells to be converted back to Glucose in order for cells to make use of it.

This continuous process occurs and it is how the body regulates the blood glucose levels.

In an accident with farm machinery, Mr. Roque had his left arm severed just below the elbow. Mrs. Roque stopped the bleeding, called for an ambulance, and packed the severed arm in ice for the EMTs to take to the hospital. Will Mr. Roque ever be able to move the fingers of his left hand again? What structures must be reattached, and what has to happen?

Answers

Answer:

The mentioned case of arm severing is considered as major surgery, and the restructuring of the severed arm is only possible when Mr. Roque will reach the hospital within four to five hours of the incident, also known as the window period.  

After performing the surgery, Mr. Roque may regain movement in the arm to some extent after performing certain kinds of exercises, however, he may not feel the sensations in the fingers of his left hand again. The entire process of healing of the severity may take about two to three years, and in certain cases, the body fails to heal completely, and the affected limb may lose its function entirely.  

In the given case, the structures that are required to get reattached are the muscles of the forearm and the blood vessels and the nerve supply to the affected region. The systematic arrangement of these structures is done with the help of surgery. However, after the surgery, the patient is recommended to perform certain kinds of hand and finger muscle exercises so that the functioning of the arm get regain slowly and gradually.
