Describe the mutation in a plant that could have a negative outcome for the organism
iris [78.8K]
A mutation in a plant that could cause negative outcomes could be the plant has less leaves, or isn't hardy enough, like other plants. It would die. A plant from an area like Chernobyl, that has been affected by radiation could poison other animals, or pass that gene along, and ultimately kill that strand of plant.

In humans, the hormone testosterone enters cells and binds to specific proteins, which in turn bind to specific sites on the cel
Crank

Answer:

They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)

Explanation:

Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".

Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.

This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.

This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.

How can a gene map be used? Why do scientists induce mutations in organisms?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Genome mapping is used to identify and record the location of genes and the distances between genes on a chromosome. Genome mapping provided a critical starting point for the Human Genome Project. Sequenced DNA fragments can be aligned to the genome map to aid with the assembly of the genome.

By inducing mutations, scientists have been able to increase genetic variation, which breeders depend on to produce crops with desirable traits, such as resistance to diseases and insects. ... Mutations can be induced in a variety of ways, such as by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation or chemical mutagens.

"The diagram shows the inside of a eukaryotic cell.
NARA [144]
The process which occurs in the structures that are labeled X is Kreb's cycle.
It has to do with releasing stored energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is an extremely important part of metabolism and was first introduced by Hans Adolf Krebs in 1937.

What is a circulation
Doss [256]
Circulation is your blood flow, well in my words. Like for example "I'm losing circulation in my arm." They are having their blood flow slow down or even stopped. It doesn't always have to be blood, it can be any fluid
