Answer:

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes it hard to breathe due to obstructed airflow from the lungs. This OBSTRUCTION in turn causes respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS develops when air inhaled into and exhaled from the lungs does not get adequately exchanged between the carbon dioxide from the body for oxygen from the air.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when breathing out does not get rid of enough CO2. The increased CO2 that remains results in an acidic state. This can occur as a result of respiratory problems, such as COPD.

The increased CO2 level in the bloodstream occurring as a result of respiratory acidosis is known as hypercapnia.

What do the letters inside the grid of a punnett square represent?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Genotype of the offspring

Explanation:

Punnet square is a diagram which is used to predict and show the genotype of offspring that is produced by a cross between male and female gametes. This approach was given by Reginald C. Punnett.

Each grid have a genotype that can determine the phenotype of offspring. The letters used in to fill these grids can be made up of uppercase letters, lower case letters or both. The allele shown in upper case letters shows that the allele is dominant and the allele which is in lowercase letter is a recessive allele.

Therefore the letters inside the grid of a punnet square represents the genotype of the offsprings.

Oxidative damage to DNA can often result in the alteration of a single nucleotide.
Harman [31]

Answer:

Repair mechanism for base cleavage (BER)

Explanation:

Repair by base cleavage (BER)

The altered bases are specifically recognized by glycosylases and removed, generating an AP site. The hole is filled by a DNA polymerase that takes the healthy strand as a template. This system arises not only by exposure to external agents, but also by the cell's own activity.

In case of damage in more than one nucleotide, repair by nucleotide excision (NER) is performed.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER)

The damaged area is recognized by UvrA and B, then A and B separate and UvrC enters which forms a complex with endonuclease activity with B. This enzyme cuts the T-dimer and the gap is filled by a DNA polymerase. There is also the TC-NER system (transcription-coupled nucleotide repair system). The alteration of these mechanisms gives rise to diseases such as: Xeroderma pigmentosum, Trichotiodystrophy or Cockayne Syndrome
