Biology

In the past, whales had legs. From whales no longer having legs, its technically a mutation. With this, it means they can no longer go onto land, so they learned to adapt to the water.

Which of the following statements regarding restriction enzymes is NOT true?
Anni [7]

Answer:

The correct option is option A

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endocleases that cleave DNA fragment (<u>of usually four, five or six nucleotide long</u>) at <u>specific sites to produce blunt or sticky ends</u>. They <u>recognize palindromic sequences of host DNA when cleaving the specific sites</u>. The sequences below (on complementary strands) give an example of a palindromic sequences.

5'-CCC║GGG-3'

3'-GGG║CCC-5'

As can be seen above, when read from 5' to 3', the two sequences are the same despite being on opposing strands. And when cut between the guanine (G) and cytosine (C) (as shown above), it produces a blunt end. But when cut as shown below produces a sticky end.

5'- G║AATTC -3'

3'- CTTAA║G -5'

The explanation above shows options C and D are right while option A is wrong (hence the correct option).

Also, bacteria prevent their own DNA from been digested by restriction enzymes by adding methyl group to their restriction sites <u>which prevents restriction enzymes from recognizing restriction sites of their DNA;</u> this generally makes bacterial DNA to be highly methylated. This explanation makes option B right also.

Describe and explain how the surface of the early Earth and its atmosphere have changed
Yuliya22 [10]

Earth had essentially no atmosphere when it originated 4.6 billion years ago from a heated mixture of gases and minerals. The ground had melted on it.

An atmosphere developed when Earth cooled, primarily from gases released by volcanoes. It contained methane, hydrogen sulfide, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as the atmosphere we are surrounded by today. The Earth's surface began to cool and solidify after roughly 500 million years, allowing water to accumulate there. Although life on Earth continued to develop and diversify, such periods of expansion and development were halted by mass extinctions, in which many of the planet's major life forms were either entirely or partially wiped out and many others were freshly established. Such catastrophic extinction episodes are attributed to asteroids impacts, climate change, volcanic eruptions, etc. Dinosaurs were also wiped out in one such event. The largest problem the Earth is currently experiencing is climate change brought on by human activity. Although human activities may exterminate some species from the world, the planet will undoubtedly recover and return to its natural balance as it has for millions of years. However, the sun will ultimately wipe out Earth, as predicted by scientists. The Sun will lose its structural integrity and enlarge in volume as it ages and eventually runs out of the fuel that keeps it going—hydrogen—which will cause it to burn everything in its path, including life on Earth. In the end, the Sun would perish, leaving the Solar System permanently in the dark.

What is the general term used to describe a group of diseases in which intestinal uptake of nutrients is impaired?
loris [4]

The term used for the condition, in which the uptake of nutrients from the small intestine is impaired is malabsorption.

The malabsorption is a condition, in which the small intestine walls become unable to uptake the nutrients in the blood. This condition can be caused by many different reasons, which affect the wall of the intestine. These conditions include infections, trauma, celiac disease, and surgery. Some diseases such as Crohn's disease, pancreatitis (chronic), or cystic fibrosis is also responsible for the malabsorption.
