You have conducted an Ames test on a given compound. Which of the following would be classified as a positive result on the Ames
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (D) "His- strain grows on an his- plate".

Explanation:

The Ames test is a procedure that allows to detect if a given compound can cause mutations on a tested organism by growing strains of bacteria that require histidine (His-) to growth, since they are not able to produce its own histidine. In the Ames test, the bacteria is exposed to a given compound and is grown in a medium with small amount of histidine (his- plate). If the His- strain grows on a his- plate, it means that the bacteria has mutated to synthesize its own histidine and it is considered as a positive result on a the Ames test.

Explica el impacto del desarrollo de las técnicas moleculares en los sistemas de clasificación de los organismos.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Las técnicas moleculares, especialmente aquellas basadas en la manipulación del material genético, permitieron automatizar el proceso de identificación y clasificación de especies

Explanation:

Las técnicas moleculares usadas para la clasificación de organismos son aquellas principalmente relacionadas a la manipulación de su material genético. En especial, las técnicas de extracción de ADN, amplificación mediante la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) y posterior secuenciación han posibilitado automatizar el proceso de clasificación de organismos. Los marcadores moleculares de ADN basados en secuencias génicas evolutivamente conservadas tales como, por ejemplo, la secuencia del gen Citocromo Oxidasa I (COI) en animales, son ampliamente usados para automatizar este proceso de identificación y clasificación de nuevas especies.

swat32

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism

  • <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>

<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>
