A Mutation in one of an individual's somatic cells will not be passed onto the offspring.
These preparations are called Vaccines. A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing micro-organism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins.
Answer:
The minimum mass of dissolved cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
<em>GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect borderline high levels of dissolved cholesterol (170, to 200. mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 250 μL Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Explanation:
Range of the equipment to detect cholesterol in blood = 170.0 to 200.0 mg/dL
Minimum amount of cholesterol that can be detected by instrument = 170 mg/dL
Volume of blood sample = 250 <em>μ</em>L= 0.0025 dL (1 dL = 100000 <em>μL)</em>
Amount of dissolved cholesterol in 250 <em>μL</em> sample of blood =
170 mg/dL * 0.0025 dL = 0.425 mg
The minimum mass of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.
Answer:
A. transmission genetics
B. population genetics
C. molecular genetics
D. genomics
E. molecular genetics
Explanation:
Transmission genetics can be defined as the study of the mechanisms involved in the inheritance of genetic material by offspring from parents. This discipline started with the discovery of inherited characteristics in pea plants by Mendel (1865).
Population genetics is a subdiscipline of genetics that studies genetic variation within and between populations. Population genetics is an area that explains how allele and genotypic frequencies change across time, thereby this subdiscipline is closely linked to evolutionary biology.
Genomics is a broad area of genetics that studies the function, evolution, structure, function, mapping and comparison of genomes (i.e., the whole genetic material contained in each cell of a given organism). This discipline aims at understanding entire gene pools. Genomics includes different research areas including structural genomics, functional genomics, epigenomics and metagenomics.
Molecular genetics is a sub-discipline of genetics that studies the mechanisms involved in preserving the genetic material (i.e., DNA and RNA), and to understand how the structure and expression of the genetic material influence the observed variation among organisms.
