Researchers have noticed that some men who were sterile because their sperm cells were unable to move also had chronic infection
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Kartegener's disorder

Explanation:

The respiratory tract has cilia which move. Sperms also have a tail that moves. They both have the same protein in their structure called microtubules. There is a disorder in which there is the absence of a part in the microtubule. Dynein arms absent in microtubules. Because the respiratory system and sperm both contain cilia that's why these two systems have a connection and not work properly.

Is the binding of a transcription factor to its dna recognition sequence necessary and sufficient for an initiation of transcrip
hram777 [196]

Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA  

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex

Sam’s teacher is trying to model the day/night cycle on Earth. One student holds a large yellow ball to represent the Sun. Anoth
Orlov [11]
Hello!

So, day and night are caused because the earth makes a full rotation on its axis once every 24 hours.

That way, have of Earth is facing the sun (it is morning on that side) and the other half isn't (which is why it is nighttime over there).

For example, if it's nighttime in Canada and America, it's morning in Pakistan and India. This is because Pakistan and India are facing the sun whilst Canada and America are not.

A N S W E R:

The balls should be moved so that half the Earth is facing the sun and the other half is not. This would be 24 hours. As for the sun, it is a gas, not a solid, so it doesn't rotate like one. However, that does not mean that it is not rotating to some extent.
