Thymine dimers can be repaired by Photoreactivation Repair or Nucleotide Excision Repair. - true or false?

Answer:True

Explanation:Basically thymine diamers are mismatched pairs (thymine binds with another thymine instead of binding with adenine) and may lead to unwanted results so the mismatching can be repaired by using two methods which are as follows :

1-the PRE enzyme activated by blue light breaks the thymine diamer and some of the surrounding bonds the strand is cut and DNA polymerase then restores the normal base pairing

2-UVR system breaks dimer creating a gap when a gap is created and the molecules appear unpaired it is filled by proof readers hence restoring normal base pairing.

Imagine a genetic counselor working with a couple who have just had a child who is suffering from Tay-Sachs disease. Neither par
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

C. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the disease

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that means a child will acquire the phenotype or we can say disease only when both the alleles which cause disease are present in the child.

Here, in this condition neither parent has Tay-Sachs but they gave birth to a child who is suffering from the disease then it simply means that both the parents are carrier of this disease i.e. they both are heterozygous.

The cross and probability of healthy and diseased child is shown as under:

                          Mother        Father

Parents                    Tt               Tt

                              /        |          |     \

Off-springs         TT      Tt       Tt      tt

<u>Out of these 4 probable off-springs only 3 with genotype TT, Tt & Tt  will be healthy while the 1 with genotype tt will be diseased.</u><u> </u><u>So, the probability of diseased child is 1/4 which is 25%. </u>

Also, the birth of children is an independent event so if one child has already been born with this disease then it doesn't mean that the next 3 children will be healthy for sure i.e. birth of first child cannot influence the next child. In short we can also say that in the next birth, there is still 25% chance of the child being born with this disease because previous birth has nothing to do with next birth.

According to endosymbiotic theory, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain a limited amount of genetic material and divide by_____
erica [24]

Answer:

Splitting.

Explanation:

The endosymbiont theory explains the evolution of the organelles of eukaryotes by the ingestion of the materials of prokaryotes. Various evidence are available for the endosymbiont theory origin.

The mitochondria and chloroplast contains the similar RNA sequence and their genetic material is limited. The chloroplast and mitochondria divides by the process of splitting.

Thus, the answer is splitting.
