Answer:
G - 21%
T - 29%
A - 29%
Explanation:
Nucleotide bases in DNA are complementary. Adenosine (A) binds to Thymine (T) while Cytosine (C) binds to Guanine (G). Hence the composition of A in DNA is the same as that of T; and that of C is the same as that of G.
From the information given, C is 21%
Therefore G is also 21% of the genome as C is bound to G, the therefore are the same proportion.
C and G make up 42% of the genome (that 21% + 21%).
The remaining 58% (100%-42%) is made up of A + T
Similarly the proportion of A is equal to that of T,
Hence A is 29% (half of 58%) and T is 29%.
A part of the definition of binary fission is "splitting in half." It is an asexual form of reproduction, one turns in to two. This is choice B.
Answer:
Resident microflora b. may be responsible for opportunistic infections in immunocompromised
Explanation:
It is almost impossible to found these microorganisms in the stomach because of the acidic conditions, most of them are not adapted to this type of environment. Resident microflora is not transient, is actually permanent. However, resident microflora may be responsible for ooportunistic infections in immunocompromised and they can also increase the intensity of the disease produced by that pathogen.
Answer:
1. P120 is degraded in the 26S proteasome
2. The 26S proteasome has a major role in protein degradation and is critical for protein homeostasis
3. Cell cycle and DNA replication are cellular processes regulated by the Ras and NFkB pathways
Explanation:
The proliferation-associated nucleolar protein (p120) is a protein known to be expressed during the interphase of the cell cycle, specifically in G1 and early S phase, where any problem with DNA replication trigger a checkpoint, i.e., a molecular cascade of signaling events that suspend DNA replication until the problem is resolved. In mammalian cells, the 26S proteasome is responsible for catalyzing protein degradation of about 80% (or even more) of their proteins. The 26S proteasome acts to degrade rapidly misfolded and regulatory proteins involved in the cell cycle, thereby having a major role in protein homeostasis and in the control of cellular processes. It is for that reason that inhibitors that block 26S proteasome function have shown to be useful as therapeutic agents in diseases associated with the failure of protein degradation mechanisms (e.g., multiple myeloma). The NF-κB are highly conserved transcription factors capable of regulating different cellular processes including, among others, cellular growth, inflammatory responses and apoptosis. Moreover, the MAPK/ERK pathway is able to transduce different signals received on the cell surface to the nucleus. The MAPK/ERK pathway is activated when a singling molecule binds to a cell receptor which triggers a signaling cascade that ends when a transcription factor induces the expression of target genes, ultimately producing a response in the cell (for example, the progression through the cell cycle).
