Answer;

-Trisomy

Explanation;

-Trisomy is a chromosomal disorder characterized by an additional chromosome, so the person has 47 instead of 46. An example of trisomy is the Patau syndrome.

-Patau syndrome or trisomy 13 is a type of chromosome disorder characterized by having 3 copies of chromosome 13 in cells of the body, instead of the usual 2 copies. Trisomy 13 cases are caused by random events during the formation of eggs or sperm in healthy parents (meiosis).

What is still lacking in the hypothesis of an asteroid impact as the cause of the end-cretaceous mass extinction?
Doss [256]

A convincing explanation of why some lineages survived while others vanished is still lacking in the hypothesis of an asteroid impact as the cause of the end-cretaceous mass extinction.

<h3>What is an asteroid?</h3>

One of the smaller planets in the inner Solar System is an asteroid. Asteroids are metallic or rocky bodies without an atmosphere, ranging in size from 1-meter pebbles to a dwarf planet with a diameter of over 1000 km.

The majority of the one million or more known asteroids are concentrated in the main asteroid belt, which is 2 to 4 AU from the Sun and between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The three categories of asteroids that are typically recognized are C-type, M-type, and S-type.

These were given their names and are frequently associated with, respectively, carbonaceous, metallic, and silicaceous compositions. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has a diameter of over 1,000 km (600 mi), making it a dwarf planet.

How does the water affects the hydrophilic heads and the hydrophobic tails to form a lipid bilayer cell membranes?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic because it is polar (having charge), and thus readily dissolves in water which is a polar solvent. The hydrocarbon chain tails of phospholipid are hydrophobic because they are nonpolar (uncharged), and thus remain undissolved by water. These hydrocarbon tails have an affinity for each other, orienting themselves to face each other in water, forming the hydrophobic …

nignag [31]

In prokaryotes the 5' UTR is 3-10 nucleotides.

In Eukaryotes the 5'UTR is 100 to many thousand nucleotides long.

Explanation:

Leader sequence or 5' UTR starts at transcription site and ends at the initiation codon just one nucleotide away from it.

It is present in mRNA.

These are GC rich and form secondary structure, helps in protein synthesis.

Shine Dalgarno sequence in prokaryotes is an example of 5'UTR.

It acts as an entry point of ribosome.
