Iron

A side note about haemochromatosis:

Haemochromatosis is a disease where there is too much iron is in the body.  It is the most common form of iron overload disease. There are two types of haemochromatosis: 

<span>Primary haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder inherited from family members.  People with this condition absorb too much iron and it ends up accumulating in the body, especially in the liver.   </span><span>Secondary haemochromatosis is caused by other blood-related disorders such as anaemia, or may be due to many blood transfusions, long term alcoholism and/or other health conditions.    </span><span>If left untreated, iron overload can lead to liver damage. That’s why it’s important to receive treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent further complications, including liver disease, liver cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, heart disease, arthritis or diabetes. Some organ damage can be reversed if detected early enough and treated appropriately.

cigarettes

If you smoke cigarettes there’s a chance that you are causing damage to your liver – increasing your risk of developing liver cancer and decreasing your liver’s ability to rid your body of dangerous toxins. In turn, this could leave you more susceptible to the damaging effects of some medications on the liver too. </span>

Peat is a mixture of partially decomposed plant and animal material found in waterlogged, acidic, anaerobic environments. people
Verizon [17]

because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel. The correct option is B.

<h3>What exactly are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossil fuels are fuels derived from the remains of dead plants and animals that decomposed over time under intense heat and pressure.

Because their replenishment time is longer than a human lifetime, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.

Some examples of fossil fuels are petroleum, coal, etc.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. peat is a fossil fuel because rewetting it takes only 3-5 years.
  2. peat is a fossil fuel because the total time for restoration is lengthy.
  3. peat is not a fossil fuel because it has biologic origins, making it a biofuel.
  4. peat is not a fossil fuel because humans can promote the replenishment of peat.

The restoration process of peat takes a long time of more than 100 years. As a result, because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Does the distribution of bases in sea urchin DNA and salmon DNA follow Chargaff’s rules? a) Yes, because the %A approximately eq
MArishka [77]

Answer:

A. Yes, because the %A approximately equals the %T and the %G approximately equals the %C in both species.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, in all cellular DNAs, the number of adenosine residues (A) is equal to the number of thymidine residues (T). And the number of guanosine residues (G) is equal to the number of cytidine residues (C). Therefore, the sum of the purine residues equals the sum of the pyrimidine residues (A+ G= C+ T). It is based on the fact that a purine base always pairs with a pyrimidine base in a double helix DNA.

Chargaff’s rule is followed in all the double-helical DNA molecules irrespective of the species. In DNAs of sea urchin and salmon, the percentage of adenine is equal to that of the thymine and the percentage of guanine is equal to that of the cytosine. Therefore, Chargaff's rule is followed.
