I need help, I don't understand this, so please try to explain?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Yeah, so basically the image is showing restriction enzymes. The job of restriction enzymes is mainly involved in research when scientists use them for cloning human genes. But that's besides the point...

Main thing you have to understand is that restriction enzymes cut at very specific places along DNA sequences. If you look at the restriction enzyme Rsa 1, you can notice that it cuts only between a thymine nucleotide base and an adenine nucleotide base. Next, if ya look at Sty 1 (be careful b/c W can represent adenine or thymine), it cuts only between two directly adjacent cytosine nucleotide bases!

SO.... if we go to Rsa 1, we can find the answers by dividing up the sequences between the pattern we saw in the gray box. It only cuts between adenine and thymine bases. Based on that, we can find the number of fragments created, and the segment lengths (basically just like how many nucleotide bases are in each strand). Hope ya found this helpful!

Answer - <span>C) Trees and shrubs provide shade, which keeps the water temperature cooler. Lower temperatures allow the water to hold more oxygen, which in turn creates a healthier habitat for the trout.</span>

Reasoning - The back story is if the water temperature is being changed. It will affect the trout indirectly warming the water. In turn if you have shades and shrubs to provide it for cooler areas it will preserve O2 a Certain Habitat for the Species.

Investigators have arrived at a crime scene and are ready to search for evidence. What needs to happen next?
denpristay [2]

Answer: C . They should map out a grid to systematically look for evidence.

Explanation:

As a crime has been committed, the investigators do not need a search warrant so there is no need to ask a Judge for one so option A is incorrect.

It is best if evidence is searched for in different locations not just the primary scene so option B is incorrect.

Setting up a grip to enable the systematic analysis of evidence is their most likely course of action so option C is correct.

Even if the case is not complicated, evidence still needs to be searched for so option D is wrong.

Imagine a genetic counselor working with a couple who have just had a child who is suffering from Tay-Sachs disease. Neither par
adoni [48]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C

BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD ONE CHILD WITH TAY-SACHS,YOU MUST EACH CARRY THE ALLELE.ANY CHILD YOU HAVE HAS A 25% CHANCE OF HAVING THE DISEASE.

Explanation: Tay- Sachs is a rare disorder that is inherited,it is characterised by a progressive destruction of the nerves of the brain and spinal cord.its onset is from around 6months of life to around 4-5years of age when the child affected eventually dies.

A Child that have Tay-Sachs experiences problem with coordination,muscle contraction, must stiffness and weakness.there is also difficulty is speaking, swallowing, wasting(uncontrolled weightloss), hearing loss,seizure, and vision loss.

Since the parents of the child in the question claims they don't have Tay- Sachs and no one in the family has it but they came down with a child having Tay-Sachs and one of the major factors to Tay-Sachs as stated above is heredity,the main point to counsel the couples on is that because they have had one child with Tay-Sachs,they most each carry the allele which is obviously recessive so any child they had have has 25% chance of having the disease.
