According to the National Institute of Health, different diseases can block the bile ducts and cause a problem with the flow of

bile. Gallstones are one of the most common causes of blocked bile ducts. Blocked bile ducts may also result from infection, cancer or internal scar tissue. Scarring can block the bile ducts, which can lead to liver failure. Based on the passage above, describe how blocked bile ducts would adversely affect digestion. In your answer be sure to describe the path that bile takes after leaving the liver

<span>Blocked bile ducts would adversely affect digestion because it mostly passes through the digestive system. Bile is an important part of the body that is secreted by the liver to help the body digest fats. The bile ducts carry bile from the liver and gallbladder towards the pancreas and towards the duodenum, which is a part of the small intestine.<span>

What would a control be for an experiment to see whether fertilizer helps a plant grow ?
shtirl [24]
<span>The control would be a  plant grown without any fertilizer.  This is called  a negative control and is important in identifying the influence  of the treatments on the tests. In this case, it would mean that the plant without fertilizer (control) is not expected to grow as large as in the other treatment. </span>

Base Sequence of Complementary DNA Strands One strand of a double-helical DNA has the sequence (59)GCGCAATATTTCTCAAAATATTGCGC(39
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

(3')CGCGTTATAAAGAGTTTTATAACGCG(5')

Explanation:

<em>The complementary strand is :</em>

(5')GCGCAATATTTTGAGAAATATTGCGC(3')

<em>The base sequence of the complimentary strand is:</em>

(3')CGCGTTATAAAGAGTTTTATAACGCG(5')

Because this sequence is self-complementary, the individual strands can form  hairpin structures. The two strands together may also form a cruciform.

Hairpin structures can be formed by sequences with inverted repeats through two major mechanisms.

  1. DNA is single stranded in cellular processes such as; during replication on the template for lagging-strand synthesis,  bacterial conjugation, natural transformation, and infection by some viruses. Single stranded DNA can fold into secondary structures recognized by proteins, involved in site-specific recombination, transcription, and replication.
  1. Hairpins can also be formed from double-stranded DNA  as a cruciform. A cruciform is a structure consisting of two hairpins extruding through intrastrand base pairing from a palindromic or inverted-reverse sequence.

Which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits?
Kryger [21]
A gene is a segment of DNA which encodes for  the production of proteins(building blocks of life) which provides structure to our bodies. These proteins carry out bodily functions and determine the physical characteristics of an organism.<span>
</span>
Therefore the answer should be genes.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - hom-O heidelbergensis.

Explanation:

hom-O heidelbergensis was one of the early humans who appeared in about 200-130 kya in Asia and 600-130 kya 2in Africa and Europe.

These humans have long but lower cranium, cranial features resemble Hom Erectus but 1200-1300 cc cranial capacity with smaller pre/molars. The occipital torus of these humans was very small.
