What range of ratios could indicate that a gene was not expressed in cancerous tissue, but was expressed in healthy tissue?

The range of ratio which can be used to indicate that a gene was not expressed in the cancerous tissue but was expressed in the healthy tissue is 0.5 - 0.0625.
Microarray is a technique that is used to measure the differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. The method measures the amount of mRNA for genes that are present in a sample and compare the results between healthy and cancerous cells. A value of less than 1 indicates that the genes from the microarray are more active in normal cells.

Question 4 (1 point)<br> Why are nonsense mutations rare?
Lostsunrise [7]

When a DNA sequence alteration results in a stop codon rather than a codon that specifies an amino acid, it is known as a nonsense mutation. This is rarely seen in 10% of patients with genetic disease.

<h3>What is nonsense mutation?</h3>

A nonsense mutation in a DNA sequence causes a premature stop codon, also known as a nonsense codon, in the transcribed mRNA as well as a shortened, ineffective, and typically nonfunctional protein product.

Because stop codons, also known as nonsense codons, signal the completion of protein synthesis rather than encoding for an amino acid, they are the source of the term "nonsense mutation."

Examples of illnesses for which nonsense mutations have been implicated as contributing factors include: Cystic fibrosis (produced by the G542X mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator); (CFTR) Beta-globin (thalassemia) Hurler disease.

What are some of the functions of photosystem i and photosystem ii in plants?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Photosystem I (PS-I )and photosystem II (PS-II ) are two multi-protein complexes. These complexes contain the pigments used to absorb, harvest and catalyze the photons and light energy in the photosynthetic reactions. The main purpose of photosynthesis reactions to produce high chemical energy compounds.

Photosystem I and II are different from each other because of their absorbing wavelength of light. PS-I absorbs the longer wavelength of light than PS-II.

PS-I plays the major role in the production of high energy carriers ATP and NADPH using light energy (700 nm).

PS-II plays its function in the hydrolysis of water and ATP synthesis using light energy (680 nm).
