The primary hormone that the thyroid gland releases into the bloodstream is thyroxine. It is the inactive form, and organs like the liver and kidneys convert the majority of it into the active form triiodothyronine.

The body's metabolism, cardiac and digestive processes, muscle control, brain growth, and bone maintenance are all significantly regulated by thyroid hormones.

Hypothyroidism refers to the thyroid gland producing too little thyroxine. It could be brought on by autoimmune conditions, inadequate iodine consumption, or the use of specific medications. Sometimes there is no known cause. Untreated throxine before birth or during infancy can result in mental disability and stunted growth because thyroid hormones are crucial for both physical and mental development.

Adult hypothyroidism results in a slower metabolism. It may cause symptoms like weariness, a diminished ability to tolerate cold conditions, a low heart rate, weight gain, decreased appetite, impaired memory, sadness, muscle stiffness, and decreased fertility. For further details, read the article on hypothyroidism.

We have looked at the cloning experiments involved in producing Snuppy. Describe the specific technique that was used and how th
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Cloning may be defined as the process by which the genetically identified individual of the organism can be created artifically or naturally. Aseual reproduction results in the formation of clone.

The microsatellite analysis is used to prove that snuppy is a clone. Microsatellites are the highly variable DNA sequences repeats that has variable loci and considered at population level. The two alleles are possible for the one microsatellite locus. After comparing the alleles it has been found that snuppy has exactly the same genetic material as the surrogate mother, afghan. This completely determines that snuppy is a clone of afgan.

Which of the following statements regarding restriction enzymes is NOT true?
Anni [7]

Answer:

The correct option is option A

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endocleases that cleave DNA fragment (<u>of usually four, five or six nucleotide long</u>) at <u>specific sites to produce blunt or sticky ends</u>. They <u>recognize palindromic sequences of host DNA when cleaving the specific sites</u>. The sequences below (on complementary strands) give an example of a palindromic sequences.

5'-CCC║GGG-3'

3'-GGG║CCC-5'

As can be seen above, when read from 5' to 3', the two sequences are the same despite being on opposing strands. And when cut between the guanine (G) and cytosine (C) (as shown above), it produces a blunt end. But when cut as shown below produces a sticky end.

5'- G║AATTC -3'

3'- CTTAA║G -5'

The explanation above shows options C and D are right while option A is wrong (hence the correct option).

Also, bacteria prevent their own DNA from been digested by restriction enzymes by adding methyl group to their restriction sites <u>which prevents restriction enzymes from recognizing restriction sites of their DNA;</u> this generally makes bacterial DNA to be highly methylated. This explanation makes option B right also.
