What did researchers discover about genetic mutations that cause lactase persistence?

Biology
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]1 year ago
4 0

It is found in a non coding regulatory region (a "switch") upstream of the lactase gene.

The primary carbohydrate in milk, lactose, is an important source of energy for most young mammals.

Lactase is the enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose (or lactase-phlorizin-hydrolase, LPH). Since milk is a necessary part of young mammals' diets and since mammals cannot utilise lactose without this enzyme, lactase activity is crucial to the early development of most mammals.

Although the methods and evolutionary justifications for this downregulation are not well understood, lactase synthesis often falls once the weaning period is over. However, some people continue to produce lactase far into adulthood and can metabolize the lactose in fresh milk. This quality is known as LP (Lactase persistence).

Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?
melomori [17]

Answer: The correct options are statement first and fourth that is -

It is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA.

The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

Explain why germinating seeds were used in this investigation cellualr respiration
Anna35 [415]

Explanation:

As oxygen is consumed to provide energy, germinating seeds release carbon dioxide. ... HYPOTHESES: The experimental hypothesis is that germinating seeds will show a greater rate of respiration than control glass beads. Additionally, that at higher temperatures, the rate of cellular respiration in the seeds will increase.
