Answer:

Triple repeat expansion.

Explanation:

Fragile X syndrome is the genetic disorder in which the toxic RNA is produced in the body. This mutation is located on the long arm of the X chromosome.

Fragile X syndrome is also known as trinucleotide repeat disorders. The nucleotide CCG is increased in the affected individual from 200 to 4000. The severity of the disease depends on the repeat of CCG nucleotide in the individual.

Thus, the answer is triple repeat expansion.

You are in the forest and see a large, snarling, drooling grizzly bear running directly toward you. The adrenaline rush you feel
elixir [45]

You are in the forest and see a large, snarling, drooling grizzly bear running directly toward you. The adrenaline rush you feel as you run toward the cabin is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system which functions through various interconnected neurons. The sympathetic nervous system’s main role is to stimulate the neuronal and hormonal stress response (also known as body's fight-or-flight response). The sympathetic fibers in the adrenal medulla (inner part of the adrenal gland) produce acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter), which allow the high secretion of adrenaline and low amounts of noradrenaline from it. The sympathetic nervous system also prepares the body for action, especially in situations that are dangerous to survival.

Drag each tile to the correct location. Determine whether each sentence describes oceanic crust, continental crust, or both. It
neonofarm [45]

Given what we know, the three sentences in this question all describe the properties of oceanic crust.

<h3>What is the oceanic crust?</h3>
  • The oceanic crust is the outer layer of the earth, located at the bottom of the oceans.
  • It contains three layers, ordered by number.
  • During subduction, this remains the topmost crust.
  • It is formed by the solidification of magma.
  • The oceanic crust is known to be very dense.

Therefore, we can confirm that the sentences in the question describe oceanic crust given that this is the topmost crust during subduction, formed by the solidifying of magma, making it a much denser rock than the other forms of crust.
