Protozoa are Eukaryotic organisms, they show animal/plant like behaviors. Bacteria are prokaryotic, very tiny simple single celled organisms with no nucleus or mitochondria.
Bloodborne pathogen can be transmitted when blood or body fluid from an infected person enters another persons body via needle-sticks, himan bites, cuts, abrasions etc...
Answer:
e) All of the answers are correct
Explanation:
The first X-ray picture of DNA taken in 1952 by Rosalind Franklin using the X-ray crystallography technique revealed the helical shape of DNA. Based on this discovery, it was discovered later on that the DNA molecule was made of two chains of nucleotides and at high humidity i.e when exposed to water it becomes long and thin.
Answer:
A mutation can alter the structure/function of a particular protein, thereby also altering the phenotype resulting from this new variant
Explanation:
A mutation can be defined as a genetic change in the genome of an organism. Some mutations are capable of modifying the expression and/or structure of the proteins, while other mutations (known as silent mutations) have no effect on the resulting proteins. When mutations occur within the gene region encoding a protein (i.e., exons), they are potentially capable of producing a faulty protein. For example, a mutation can alter the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the resulting protein, thereby inactivating it. The mutations that alter the structure and/or function of the protein can also alter the resulting phenotype associated with the expression of this protein. For example, a mutation within a gene that encodes a key enzyme can potentially alter the binding site of the protein, so the resulting mutated enzyme cannot bind to the substrate anymore. In consequence, this mutation alters the phenotype of the individual who is not more able to carry out the metabolic reaction catalyzed by the faulty enzyme.
