Answer:

C) cloning mammals has a very low success rate, and can produce severely damaged young.

Explanation:

Cloning of mammals has a very low success rate and can produce severely damaged pups. Proof of this was what happened to the Dolly sheep.

The cloning that gave rise to Dolly is also called "nucleus transfer", that is, the nucleus of a somatic cell is removed and placed in an egg whose nucleus was previously removed. This cell is capable of dividing and, if the resulting embryo is implanted in a uterus and succeeds in developing, it can generate an individual. Interesting, or scary, was knowing that 276 attempts were made until Dolly was born, and most of the eggs used, with the nucleus changed, did not even divide. And that of all the other embryos that managed to divide and be implanted, only Dolly was born. All others died during pregnancy, many of them with genetic alterations or severe malformations.

On February 14, 2003, at the age of six and a half, Dolly underwent a lethal injection, as she was the victim of a serious lung disease, of supposedly infectious origin. The scientific community still expects further explanations about the disease that affected the most famous sheep in the world. Could this disease be caused by a genetic error resulting from cloning? Dolly's "breeders", Scottish researchers at the Roslin Institute, said the disease is common in sheep and was probably acquired. But how could Dolly have been exposed to a very serious and fatal disease? It seems strange. In addition, Dolly had previously presented other problems possibly related to cloning. She was big, obese and lived in confinement. She had three pregnancies and six puppies. At just over five and a half years old, information was released that Dolly suffered from arthritis in her left hind leg.

Both arthritis and lung disease presented by Dolly are diseases characteristic of elderly sheep. Arthritis, in particular, was attributed to the fact that Dolly stood on her hind legs for a long time to "play" with visitors. But many vets dispute that justification. The hypothesis that has been discussed is that these diseases, common in older animals, could be associated with the shortening of telomeres (DNA sequences that are at the tip of chromosomes). It is already well known that chromosomes decrease in size and lose small portions of their genetic material over time. When Dolly was three years old, her telomeres were characteristic of a nine-year-old animal, the age that the nucleus donor would have if it were alive. However, this information is not confirmed by its creators, who dispute the results of these tests because they were done only once, in blood tissue. In addition, other cloned animals did not show shortening of telomeres.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

EELG

(1) Addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a protein occurs in the Lumen of the Endopslamic Reticulum

(2) Synthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

(3) Degradation of misfolded ER protein ossurs in the Lysosome

(4) O-linked glycosylation occurs in the Golgiapparatus

Explanation:

1. The covalent attachment of a carbohydrate to a macromolecule such as proteins or lipids is known as glycosylation.

N-linked glycosylation is a very common form of glycosylation and it occurs in eukaryotes in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a proteinmos an example of N-linked glycosylation.

2. Phosphatidylcholine is synthesized through the CDP-choline pathway which occurs at the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum. Choline entering the cell is immediately phosphorylated by choline kinase, converting choline to phosphocholine.

Phosphocholine is then converted to CDP-choline by the second enzyme in the pathway, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT).

The phosphocholine moiety is then added to diacylglycerol in a reaction catalyzed by CDP-choline:1,2-diacylgylcerol cholinephosphotransferase to complete the synthesis of phosphocholine.

3. Lysosomes are the cell organelles which are responsible for the breakdown of proteins as well as other components of the cell. Misfolded proteins are identified and transported to lysosomes through chaperone-mediated autophagy, macroautophagy and endocytosis, where they are then degraded.

4. O-linked glycosylation is a form of glycosylation that occurs in eukaryotes in the Golgi apparatus.

All of the following events occur during normal meiosis except _______. A. two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell B. on
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A. two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division. When a parent cell with "2n" chromosomes enters the process of meiosis, four daughter cells each with "n" chromosomes are formed. This occurs since homologous chromosomes separate from each other during anaphase-I. However, meiosis does not include the fusion of two haploid cells. The fusion of two haploid cells mainly occurs during the process of fertilization during which a haploid male gamete and a haploid female gamete fuse to form a diploid zygote.

A clay plate has a volume of 30.0cubic centimeters and a mass of 59.1grams. Calculate its density.
Nataly_w [17]

The density of the clay plate is  1970 kg m⁻³

the problem we are dealing with is related to density, which is the mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for calculating density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Since we are provided with the volume of the clay plate which is 30.0cubic centimeters and the mass of the plate which is 59.1grams

so,V= 30 cm⁻³=3x 10-5 m and  M=  59.1grams= 0.0591 kg

Therefore, the density of the plate is:  M/V

=>d = 1970 kg m⁻³

sweet [91]

The spindle fibers produced by the centrioles are necessary for the division of the chromosome at the time of the anaphase. In case, the centrioles do not perform their task, the genetic material in the cells may not divide equally due to the lack in the separation of the chromosomes. Hence, the problem with the centrioles may lead to the unequal division of the genetic material during the cell division process.

Hence, the correct answer is centrioles.
