Germinal cells can most likely divide indefinitely due to the activity of an enzyme called Telomerase.

  • The telomeric sequences are extra sequences which are reduced during several rounds of replication.
  • However, these are restored by the enzyme telomerase which keeps the length of the telomere sequence enough to undergo several rounds of replication.
  • Generation after generation, germ cells must precisely transmit genetic information.
  • They have a lot of telomerase activity to stop the genetic material from being lost during meiosis. The parents' genetic material is kept intact thanks to the high level of telomerase.
  • The primary region of the chromosome, which contains the genes necessary for life, would become shorter without telomeres with each cell division. Telomeres thereby permit cell division without gene loss.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

✔ B.to teach the subject to respond to the conditioned stimulus

▭ ▭ ▭ ▭ ▭

The aim of a classical conditioning experiment is to condition the subject to respond to a conditioned stimulus. This is based on Pavlov’s classical conditioning of associative learning through higher-order thinking.

A friend of yours claims to have identified a gene that causes a human disease! Your friend says that they have sequenced the DN
sattari [20]

Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal

Explanation:

Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called

1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)

2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).

However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate

What are chromatids and how do they differ from chromosomes
Molodets [167]
Chromatids are only called as chromatids when they are sister chromatids, meaning that when chromosome have two double stranded DNA attached together, each of the double stranded DNA is a sister chromatid, and while the whole thing (the two sister chromatids that are attached together) is called a chromosome.

So after the DNA has been replicated, the chromosome consist of 2 sister chromatids, attached to each other at their centromere.

Overall, sister chromatid is one of the two double stranded DNA in a replicated chromosome, and chromosome is the whole "X" shape that we see. For example, in humans, after the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle, we have 46 chromosomes, with 92 chromatids, since each chromosome is an "X" shape, by having two sister chromatids.

Hope this helps!
