The enzyme DNA ligase can be defined as the DNA joining enzyme. The DNA ligase joins smaller strands of the DNA making them into one continuous strand. The DNA ligase is responsible for the joining of the okazaki segments, and the repairs in the backbone of the DNA strands. If the levels of the DNA ligase will decrease in a person's body because of a mutation, it will be difficult to repair the DNA and join the okazaki segments and hence, the gene expression will be altered. The packaging of the DNA will be altered too, and the DNA will be present in a person's body in fragments. Hence, the DNA replication will lead to the formation of the multiple small fragments.

DNA ligase is the enzyme that repair irregularities and breaks in the back bone of double stranded DNA. The enzyme function by sealing the repair in the DNA, it seals recombination fragments and it connects okazaki fragments during replication of DNA. 
If a mutation reduce the amount of ligase, all the functions of the ligase enzyme listed above will be affected negatively.

How many planet in evil eye galaxy
prohojiy [21]
 Hope this helps! 

A collision of two galaxies has left a merged star system with an unusual appearance as well as bizarre internal motions. Messier 64 (M64) has a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus, giving rise to its nicknames of the "Black Eye" or "Evil Eye" galaxy.

Fine details of the dark band are revealed in this image of the central portion of M64 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. M64 is well known among amateur astronomers because of its appearance in small telescopes. It was first cataloged in the 18th century by the French astronomer Messier. Located in the northern constellation Coma Berenices, M64 resides roughly 17 million light-years from Earth.

PLEASE HELP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

So lets go over facts of mieosis and mitosis:

Meiosis is sexual reproduction

Mitosis is asexual reproduction

Meiosis in animals is how they reproduce

Mitosis in animals is how they regenrate their cells

Mitosis copies the orgninal cell.

Meiosis mixes a male and female egg and sperm to form a zygote

Ok, knowing this. We can find our answer.

Since we know meiosis is sexual, and mitosis asexual, we can get rid of C.

We also know that meiosis is in animals, and so is mitosis, so we can get rid of A.

Finally we can get rid of D, since we know due to the male and female genetics(and through the swapping of chromesomes during prophase)that genetic variation occurs in meiosis, but since mitosis copies a single cell, it is not genetically varient.

<u>So the answer must be C, which states that Mitosis has genetically identical cells, while mieosis does not. </u>

Hope this helps! ;)

Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that produces botulinum toxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine. Which description
Dimas [21]

Answer:

muscle cells will  become paralyzed when there is a lack of acetylcholine

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the muscle cells will  become paralyzed when there is a lack of acetylcholine. That is because the Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical within the brain and body that acts as a neurotransmitter to send signals from the brain to the muscle cells. Without those signals the muscle cells cannot respond and are therefore paralyzed.
