<h2>The correct sequence is: 4>2>3>5>1.</h2>

Explanation:

  • The given question shows the sequence in which silk encoding gene from spider can be expressed in yeast in order to produce Recombinant Silk.
  • Originally, silk can be obtained from spider. But for the commercial production and meeting the high demand of silk it is not economical to depend on spider to produce silk as they not only take long time to produce silk them but also they have a longer life-cycle and longer generation time as a result of which the quantity of silk obtained by spider per generation is very low. Also, spiders require specialized habitat and complex nutrient for their survival.
  • Hence, yeast, an unicellular eukaryote, which has a shorter generation time and simple nutrient requirement for its survival, can be used for the commercial production of silk.
  • For this, initially a yeast gene which is constitutively expressed in yeast is selected and the coding region of this gene is removed with the help of enzymes, keeping the regulatory sequences like the promoter, enhancer, terminator, etc, intact in the 5' and 3' region of the gene.
  • A constitutive gene is the one which is expressed continuously at large amounts. This will result in the increased synthesis of the recombinant silk protein.
  • Next, the coding sequence of the gene encoding for silk protein which is obtained from the spider is joined with the help of enzymes to the regulatory gene sequences of the yeast which was obtained in the first step.
  • Next, this recombinant gene comprising of the yeast regulatory sequence and the coding region of the gene encoding for silk obtained from spider is inserted into the yeast cells.
  • Next, the yeast cells are allowed to express the silk coding gene by the process of transciption and translation utilizing the yeast specific RNA (Ribonucleic acid) polymerase (recognizes the yeast-specific promoter and enhancer in the recombinant gene) and yeast-specific ribosome, respectively.
  • The recombinant silk protein produced in the yeast can then be subjected to purification.

Answer:

The correct option is 2 Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Explanation:

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) occurs when the renal tubule response to vasopressin (ADH) is weakened, resulting in the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine.

As the renal tubules do not respond to vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and are unable to reabsorb filtered water back into the body, the kidneys create a high volume of dilute urine in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) can be inherited or develop as a result of disorders that impede the ability of the kidneys to concentrate.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

That is, the most likely cause of his polyuria is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

In what way are the humerus and the femur similar?
marta [7]

Answer:

D.

Both the femur and humerus bone have what's called 'spongy bone' inside them and hollow spaces full of yellow and red bone marrow. Additionally, both bones do not attach to the axial skeleton but rather attach to the pelvic or hip bones; while they are both strong bones, they are not made of only compact bone but are made of 'spongy bone' inside them. Lastly, they do not protect any organs but rather allow for movement. D, They both have hollow spaces filled with bone-generating cells, is the best answer in this case

Which natural selection condition example can be classified as over production of offspring?
Tatiana [17]
Natural selection is the process by which individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment leave more offspring in the next generation, thereby increasing the proportion of their genes in the population gene pool over time. Natural selection is the principal mechanism of evolutionary change, and is the most important idea in all biology. Natural selection, the unifying concept of life, was first proposed by Charles Darwin, and represents his single greatest contribution to science.

Natural selection occurs in any reproducing population faced with a changing or variable environment. The environment includes not only physical factors such as climate or terrain, but also living factors such as predators, prey, and other members of a population.

Mechanism of Natural Selection

The mechanism of natural selection depends on several phenomena:

• Heredity: Offspring inherit their traits from their parents, in the form of genes.

• Heritable individual variation: Members of a population have slight differences among them, whether in height, eyesight acuity, beak shape, rate of egg production, or other traits that may affect survival and reproduction. If a trait has a genetic basis, it can be passed on to offspring.

• Overproduction of offspring: In any given generation, populations tend to create more progeny than can survive to reproductive age.

• Competition for resources: Because of excess population, individuals must compete for food, nesting sites, mates, or other resources that affect their ability to successfully reproduce.

Given all these factors, natural selection unavoidably occurs. Those members of a population that reproduce the most will, by definition, leave more offspring for the next generation. These offspring inherit their parents' traits, and are therefore also likely to succeed in competition for resources (assuming the environment continues to pose the same challenges as those faced by parents). Over several generations, the proportion of offspring in a population that are descended from the successful ancestor

increases, and traits that made the ancestor successful therefore also increase in frequency. Natural selection leads to adaptation, in which an organism's traits conform to the environment's conditions for existence.
