You have identified a previously unknown human gene that appears to have a role in autism. It is similar enough in DNA sequence

to a known mouse gene that you believe that the two genes may be evolutionarily related. You determine and compare the DNA sequences, the predicted mRNA sequences, and the predicted amino acid sequences corresponding to the two genes. You would expect to find the greatest sequence similarity from comparisons of the two:
a. DNA sequences (13.6%)
  b. mRNA sequences (3.9%)
  c. Amino acid sequences (51.5%)
  d. All three comparisons are likely to show the same degree of sequence similarity (31.0%)

Answer:

Amino acid sequences

Explanation:

The proteins perform the vast majority of functions in the cells. If a gene between a human and a mouse is evolutionarily related, it means that the function they do in the cell is quite similar in both species. This is the reason why the amino acid sequence would be the most similar.

In addition, there might be certain mutations in the DNA and therefore in the RNA between this 2 sequences that encode to the same amino acid sequence. More specifically speaking, there are more than one codon that encode to the same aminoacid. Thus, 2 different DNA/RNA sequence can give the same aminoacid sequence.

Contrast the location of genetic material in bacterial cells to its location in plant and animal cells
Elodia [21]
In animal and plant cells genetic information if contained within a nucleus, in bacterial cells there is no nucleus and so the genetic information is found within the cytoplasm of the cell but is not 'contained' in a more specific area. A small amount of DNA in the bacterial cell may be contained in an area of the bacteria called a plasmid, however not all bacterial cells have a plasmid.

Where are new volcanoes forming in the Hawaiian Island chain? Be specific and use directional terms N, S, E, W, etc.
White raven [17]

Answer:

If the hot-spot theory is correct, the next volcano in the Hawaiian chain should form east or south of the Island of Hawai'i. Abundant evidence indicates that such a new volcano exists at Lö'ihi, a seamount (or submarine peak) located about 20 miles off the south coast.

Tatiana [17]
<span>Answer: Gynephilia.
</span>
Gynephilia is a term used in behavioral science to describe sexual orientation, as an attraction to women. When it's sexual attraction to men is called androphilia and when its attraction to both is called ambiphilia.
This term describes the attraction not gender identity. That means the fact that the person is transgender, doesn't matter in this terms.<span />

true or false? Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, whereas mitosis is the division of the nucleus.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Mitosis is just a part of a cell cycle. Mitotic M phase include both mitosis and cytokinesis.

In the cell cycle Mitotic cell division alternate with Interphase a growth phase. In the mitotic phase, mitosis divides the cell nucleus and distribute it's chromosomes to the daughter nuclei, cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, producing two daughter cells.

During mitosis in the telophase stage of mitosis the division of one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei, is completed.

In Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm is usually well under way by the late telophase, so the two daughter cells appear shortly after the end of mitosis
