Inga [223]3 years ago

Answer:

Enzymes are temperature specific they do not work under high temperature and they do not work even in a very low temperature.

They are denatured in high temperature as enzymes are proteins in nature. They no longer work under such high temperatures.

During a high fever the temperature of the body rises and and the enzymes in the body loose their original shape and so they do not fit in the substrate and therefore is no longer functional.

The enzymes no longer catalyses the reaction so  high fever is dangerous for the body.

What information could cancer researchers gain from using DNA microarrays?
Evgen [1.6K]

DNA microarrays allow scientists to determine the genotype of a chunk of our genome and also measure the how the genes in that chunk are expressed. Using this technique has been essential in isolating genes that predispose people to cancers, and therefore allowing physicians to preemptively identify and monitor at-risk individuals. For instance, the genes BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 have all been identified (using DNA microarrays) and linked to breast cancer. Knowing this allows individuals to seek out testing and take appropriate measures to prevent cancer/monitor the possible onset of cancer, which has proven to be life-saving.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Invertebrates: Do not possess a backbone and doesn't have an internal skeleton. Has an exoskeleton. Are generally smaller than vertebrates.  Possess an open circulatory system. The majority have compound eyes. Includes radial or bilateral body symmetry. Presence of a simple and unorganized nervous system. Mode of nutrition includes Autotrophic, Parasitic, and Heterotrophic. 95% of animal species are invertebrates. Flatworms, arthropods, sponges, insects are few examples of Invertebrates.

Vertebrates: Possess a backbone and has an internal skeleton. Does not have an endoskeleton. Larger than invertebrates. Possess a closed circulatory system. Do not have compound eyes. Has bilateral body symmetry. Presence of complex and highly specialized organ systems with specific functions. The mode of nutrition is usually heterotrophic. 5% of animal species are vertebrates. Mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds are examples of Vertebrates.
