Identical and obviously duplicated gene sequences have gotten from one chromosome to another by chromosomal translocation.

In terms of genetics, a translocation takes place when chromosome fragments and the (often two) fragmented portions reassociate with other chromosomes. For the diagnosis of several genetic diseases and syndromes, the finding of chromosomal translocations can be crucial.

Multigene families are groups of related or identical genes that have developed by gene duplication. It is thought that a single ancestral gene was duplicated and varied to create multigene families. The multigene families that code for actins, hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, tubulins, interferons, histones, etc. are a few examples.

Which statement correctly compares nucleic acids and carbohydrates?
givi [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is They both contain carbon ,but only nucleic acid contain phosphorous

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are also called polyhydroxyaldehydes or polyhydroxyketones.Carbohydrates contain carbon,hydrogen and oxygen.For example glucose(C6H12O6).

   On the other hand nucleic are composed of nucleotides that contain nitrogen base,ribose sugar and phosphate group.

     The presence of phosphate group in the nucleic acid make it different from carbohydrate.

What is Acid Reflux? Name two treatments for acid reflux, and explain how they work.
Nimfa-mama [501]
Acid reflux is a stomach acid that travels back up through the esophagus when the lower esophageal sphincter does not close properly following consumption of food. You get heart burns with acid reflux that’s why you should take Antacids. Antacid excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, and stomach upset. They can also be used to relieve the pain of stomach and duodenal ulcers. Alka-seltzer can also work because
When too much acid builds up in your stomach, it can feel upset. Alka-Seltzer is a "buffer" which keeps your stomach from being too acidic. This demonstration using bromphenol blue and vinegar, will show how Alka-Seltzer neutralizes stomach acid.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Genes coding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Explanation:

Chiasma is the connecting link between two non sister chromatids from homologous chromosomes. At chiasma chromosomal crossover takes place in which the genetic material is exchanged between the chromatids. During meiosis aneuploidy occurs if chiasma is absent or impaired due to a mutation in genes encoding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Aneuploidy is characterised by presence of abnormal number of chromosomes in cells. They can be 45 or 47 in number apart from the usual 46. Due to impaired chiasma, chromosome pair fails to separate and is passed on to the egg or sperm as it is hence there is one gamete with an extra chromosome and one gamete with a less chromosome. Aneuploidy can result in many genetic disorders like three copies of chromosome 21 can result in Down syndrome.
