Answer:

A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.

B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.

C. Prions are proteins.

Explanation:

Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.

Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.

Answer:

Postzygotic isolating mechanism

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation can occur due to prezygotic or postzygotic isolating mechanism. Prezygotic mechanism prevents fertilization of gametes and can occur due to different mating behavior, different mating time period etc. Postzygotic mechanism occurs after the formation of zygote i.e. the organisms are able to mate and fertilization also occurs. However the resultant zygote may not survive. It might not survive immediately or might die before reaching the reproductive maturity. Such a situation would still come under reproductive isolation because the resultant offspring is not viable and not able to pass on the genes to the next generation.

Sloan [31]

Answer: Colon cancer

Explanation:

All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.

Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.

Eukaryotes are more complex because they contain.
Vikki [24]

Answer:Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They also contain a variety of cellular bodies called organelles. The organelles function in the activities of the cell and are compartments for localizing metabolic function.

Answer:

13 - D

14 - D

15 - C

Explanation:

for 13

A molecule is two or more atoms chemically combined

An example would be carbon dioxide which contains the two atoms, carbon and oxygen

Reasons its not the other answers:

Electrons, Protons and Neutrons are all parts of an atom therefore they cannot be classified as molecules.

For 14

Remember an atom is the most basic unit out of the units we are talking about

The answer would be D

Reasons its not the other answers

Water is considered to be a molecules as it contains two or more atoms (hydrogen and oxygen)

Air is considered to be a mixture as it contains oxygen and nitrogen which can be separated

Salt is considered to be a compound because salt is made up of two atoms (chloride and sodium) in which they are held up by an ionic bond

For 15

The answer would be C (III only)

Carbon hydrogen and oxygen all happen to by atoms

Reasons its not other answer choices:

Like stated previously water is considered to be a molecule therefore we can eliminate the other answer choices

Other notes:

Compounds and molecules both are combinations of two or more atoms however they are not to be mixed together

the main difference between compounds and molecules is how they are held together

Compounds are held together by ionic bonds while molecules are help up by covalent bonds

compounds and molecules  are made up of atoms that cannot be separated

Mixtures - A mix of two or more substances that can be separated
