Molecular biologists had long known that natural populations have various alleles of genes. Considerable diversity was being fou

nd. For example, human blood types are controlled by several genes, each with different alleles (like blood type alleles A, B, O, etc.). That is a well known example, but in fact most genes exist in several alleles. How was this genetic diversity commonly viewed before the late 1960's?

Answer:

Genetic variation in human populations can be studied with respect to specific genes or anonymous segments of DNA. During  the 1960s and 1970s  it was of major importance  choosing random loci for assessing population.

According to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK100428/, "Allelic variation includes base substitution and simple insertion-deletion, as well as variation arising from varying numbers of a simple-DNA sequence motif. Historically, DNA polymorphisms were detected as restriction-fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) by using cloned DNA probes, either specific for genes or at anonymous genomic segments. RFLPs are due to base substitution or small insertion-deletion differences that lead to the creation or loss of a restriction-enzyme recognition site. RFLPs usually consist of 2 alleles with an average heterozygosity of 25% and were discovered primarily in northern Europeans in the process of constructing a human genetic-linkage map. They generally have known map locations in the human genome and low mutation rates. In attempting to search for yet more polymorphic markers, it was recognized that loci at which alleles differed in the number of repeated (tandem) copies of a core DNA sequence (16-72 base pairs) were common in the human genome and highly polymorphic. Several hundred of these variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) loci have been discovered and mapped in the human genome; they tend to be in telomeric chromosomal segments. VNTR loci generally have multiple alleles with an heterozygosity exceeding 70% but also a high mutation rate. Classical RFLP and VNTR loci are assayed with the Southern blotting method, which is tedious, is time-consuming, and requires 5 µg or more of DNA per assay. Although they have been extensively used for gene-mapping studies and in forensic applications, they have seen little use in human variation studies. It is unlikely that RFLPs and VNTRs will be used as in the past, because the assay requires a greater degree of technical skill, greater access to a cloned probe, and larger quantities of DNA than other contemporary methods."

When exercising you should
Semmy [17]
When exercising you should take in deep breaths, to make sure you that you won't get chest pain. Believe in numbers when exercising. Do reps, for example squats do 15 next time do 25 the next do 30 then 45 and so on. start slow don't go to fast or your muscles will tighten. relax and after do some stretching. Drink water when exercising take little breaks during those times you may drink water then get back into exercising. You also need to replenish, so eat a salad or eat chicken breast with brown rice and spinach. (Remember to cook the chicken breast though, there might be some good recipes with chicken breast to help you out) Hopefully this helped you in some ways.

How is blood in the hepatic venule different from the blood in the hepatic vein , in terms of amount of O2 versus CO2 ? The amou
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Blood vessels in the liver that carry deoxygenated blood are known as hepatic veins. More CO₂ and fewer O₂ are delivered to the liver through the hepatic veins, in which the blood is filtered and purified.  The pancreas, colon, small intestine, and stomach all have blood in them. It is made up of deoxygenated blood that is devoid of nutrients.

The hepatic venule is a confluence of veins that transport digested nutrients from the intestine to the liver. In terms of volume, it contains less oxygen than hepatic arteries. Between the liver and the gut(i.e the intestine) lies a hepatic venule. It comprises deoxygenated blood including some nutrients.

In summary:

 Hepatic veins                            Hepatic venule

Devoid of nutrients                   Contains some nutrients

More CO₂                                   More O₂

Transport blood to the liver       Transport blood to inferior vena-cava
