A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis)within a sin

gle coding section of DNA. Mistakes can also occur in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide. However these changes are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.True / False.

True

Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.

Explanation:

The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of  several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.

Lithified ash (or ash mixed with pyroclastic fragments) forms a volcaniclastic rock called a:________
sweet [91]

Lithified ash (or ash mixed with pyroclastic fragments) forms a volcaniclastic rock called a Tuff.

  • A form of rock called tuff is created when volcanic ash is blasted from a vent during an eruption.
  • The ash is transformed into a rock after ejection and deposition. Tuff is defined as rock with an ash content of more than 75%, whereas tuffaceous refers to rock with an ash content of 25% to 75%.
  • The thickness of tuff often decreases with distance from the volcano and is usually greatest close to the volcanic vent. The typical shape of a tuff deposit is that of a "lens," not a "layer."
  • Tuff may also be thickest on the vent's side that faces away from the wind or on the side facing the direction of the blast.

7. What type of stresses have the rocks undergone to form the structures in Figure 11-1?
alisha [4.7K]
7. Stress is the force applied to a rock, which may cause deformation of the rock. There are three major types of stress and go along with the three types of plate boundaries; Compression stress is common at convergent boundaries, tension stress at divergent boundaries, and the shear stress at transform boundaries. In this case the rocks have undergone tensional stresses.

8.  Horst is a raised fault block bounded by normal faults. A horst is a raised block of the Earth's crust that has lifted, or has remained stationary, while the land on either side (garben) has subsided. Therefore the structure labeled A in the diagram is Horst.

9. A Graben; it is a valley with a distinct escarpment on each side caused by the displacement of a block downward. It often occurs side by side with the horsts. Horst and Graben structures indicate tensional forces and crustal stretching. Therefore, the structure labeled B is Graben.

What is the difference between erepsin and trypsin
Vadim26 [7]
Trypsin is a serine protease found in digestive system of vertebrates. they are produced in the pancreas.it catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonda, breaking down into smaller peptides
in tissue culture, trypsin is used to re suspend cells adherent to the cell culture dish wall.
Erepsin is a protein found in intestinal juices but can also be found in many other cells.

Answer:

  • Blood sugar regulation in a diabetic patient is done by
  1. Injecting prescribed quantity of hormone insulin after definite time intervals.
  2. Consuming prescribed amount of sugars.
  3. Injecting glucagon to maintain blood sugar level if alpha cells of the pancreas are also non-functional.

Explanation:

  • The concentration of sugar in the blood is regulated by the hormone, insulin, produced in the pancreatic beta cells in normal person and injected from outside in a diabetic person.
  • When the concentration of glucose in the blood is high, the insulin signals the hepatocytes to express their glucose transporters to take up the excess glucose from blood and convert them to glycogen.
  • When concentration of sugar in the blood is low, another hormone called glucagon, released from the alpha cells of the pancreas, signals the liver to carry out glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose) and release the glucose into the blood. This would maintain the glucose level in the blood.
  • In a diabetic patient, usually the beta cells of the pancreas are affected  but not the alpha cells, so the glycogenolysis can occur in the body spontaneously.
  • But excess injection of insulin should also be avoided as that can cause the blood sugar level to come down below normal.
