What is unusual about the genetically-inherited mitochondrial disease LHON as compared to the genetically-inherited disease sick

le cell anemia?
Biology
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.

Which event started the Pequot war?
Tanya [424]
<span>The division of the fur trade was mostly the spark of the Pequot war. The Pequot war is a conflict between the Pequot tribe and the alliances that the European colonists have made in Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their native tribe alliance with the Mohegan tribes. <span>

<span>It was a dispute that the Pequots lost; where about an approximate of 700 of these tribesmen were either killed or sent to slavery. Access to the control of fur trade divided the two tribes when they both decided to realign with English trade sources. The Pequots made an alliance with the Dutch, while the Mohegan made an alliance with the English. </span></span></span>

When translating secretory or membrane proteins, ribosomes are directed to the ERmembrane byA) a specific characteristic of the
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B) a signal-recognition particle that brings ribosomes to a receptor protein in the ER membrane.

Explanation:

Each synthesized protein has to be targeted to the specific location and transported to that location. There are two possible ways for that transport: post-translational transport or co-translational transport.

• Co-translational transport occurs during the process of translation, and proteins transported this way are proteins bound for organelles in the endomembrane system (such as the ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosome), plasma membrane proteins or proteins for the exterior of the cell. They have an amino sequence called a signal peptide which sends them to ER first.

• Proteins that do not have a signal peptide stay in the cytosol so, their transport is after the translation (post-translational).

We do quite often have mutt birds. (the correct name for such a mutt is a hybrid. <span>They are way more common than most people think, but unless you are a birdwatcher you probably wouldn’t even spot them. People often see an odd looking birds and simply think it’s a type they haven’t seen before, when in fact it is a hybrid of two well-known species. 

Having said that, for birds to hybridized they have to be fairly closely related to start with. Robins and blue jays are no more closely related than humans are to baboons. You wouldn’t expect a human and a baboon to be able to mate and produce babies would you? So no, robins and blue jays can’t interbreed.

However there are many different species of animal that CAN interbreed and produce offspring. But the different species need to be fairly closely related, far more closely than human and baboon… or a blue jay and a robin.

For example we can interbreed horses and donkeys to produce baby mules, and we can breed cattle and buffalo, or camels and llamas. And the same is true of birds. While blue jays can’t be bred with robins in the wild we quite frequently find mutt birds.

<span> Ducks are particularly noted for forming wild mutts and many if not all north American mallards for example are of mixed species ancestry.</span>
