Week 11 discussion forum-Ecogenetics is a branch of genetics that deals with the genetic variation that underlies reactive diffe

rences to drugs, chemicals in food, occupational exposure, industrial pollution, and other substances. Cases have arisen in which workers claim that xposure to a certain agent has made them feel ill, whereas other workers are unaffected. Although claims like these are not always justified, give 3 concrete examples that are not in the textbook that prove variation in reactions to certain substances exist in the human population. You need to find outside sources from the text book for the 3 examples and in your post make sure to put your citations. um

(b) Benzoates, Nitrates, sulphites are the food preservatives chemicals which are used mostly in food preparation so that it can be stored for long period. These chemicals are harmful for human and can cause disease in the human. They can cause severe asthma in humans. The international agency for the research of cancer has reviewed ingested nitrates and nitrites are probably carcinogenic to humans.

(c) Industrial pollution cause water and soil pollution.

If you want to selectively label RNA being synthesized by cells(and not DNA) what radioactive compound would you add to the medi
romanna [79]

The right answer is E.

Uracil is a nitrogenous base (pyrimidine) specific for RNA. The nucleoide of uracil is called uridine and nucleotide is called uridine monophosphate or uridylate. In the DNA, there is thymine instead of uracil.

So if we mark the uracils, only the RNA will be marked. The DNA will not be given that there is no uracil in it.

Explanation:

Molecular anthropology is a relatively recent branch, it refers to the study of biological phenomena (genetic study) at molecular levels, that is, biochemical, it allows us to understand and expand our knowledge about the evolution of the species and the complex phenomena of microevolution . It is closely related to other fields of anthropological study, among which we can mention primatology and genetics.Through molecular anthropology we are more aware of kinship, therefore, we can know human evolution over the centuries .
