What phenomenon occurs in females as a result of x-chromosomes inactivation

Biology
1 answer:
Arada [10]3 years ago
3 0

This happens early in embryonic development in females, where one of the two X-Chromosomes is randomly (and permanently) inactivated, as you said, in cells other than egg cells.

This phenomonon is actually called X-Inactivation.

X-Inactivation make sure that females, just like males, have a single functional copy of the X Chromosome in each and every one of their cells in their body.

Glad I could help, byee now

Many mutations have been identified in the lac operon. A particular mutation in the CRP gene make the CRP protein bind to the Pl
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. + glucose, + lactose  = On

b. - glucose, - lactose  = Off

c. + glucose, - lactose  = Off

d. - glucose, + lactose = On

Explanation:

Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.

Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.

Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.

In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.

When bone tissue first evolved in vertebrates, it was found within _____?
Sonbull [250]
Exoskeleton

Exoskeleton is a evolutionary innovation. This is operated by muscles attached to it and acts as an armor. Other than support this is an adaptive mechanism to provide protection against predators. In vertebrates, it is considered as the dermal bone that developed via membranous ossification. Fishes retained their exoskeleton in the form of their scales. However, in some organisms terrestrial evolution allows the loss of exoskeleton and formed a more mobile endoskeleton,

A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density th
Volgvan

Answer:

0.153

Explanation:

We know the up-thrust on the fish, U = weight of water displaced = weight of fish + weight of air in air sacs.

So ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ'V"g where ρ = density of water = 1 g/cm³, V = volume of water displaced, g = acceleration due to gravity, ρ'= density of fish = 1.18 g/cm³, V' = initial volume of fish, ρ"= density of air = 0.0012 g/cm³ and V" = volume of expanded air sac.

ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"g

ρV = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"

Its new body volume = volume of water displaced, V = V' + V"

ρ(V' + V") = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' + ρV" = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' - ρ"V'  = ρ'V" - ρV"

(ρ - ρ")V'  = (ρ' - ρ)V"

V'/V" = (ρ - ρ")/(ρ' - ρ)

= (1 g/cm³ - 0.0012 g/cm³)/(1.18 g/cm³ - 1 g/cm³)

= (0.9988 g/cm³ ÷ 0.18 g/cm³)

V'/V" = 5.55

Since V = V' + V"

V' = V - V"

(V - V")/V" = 5.55

V/V" - V"/V" = 5.55

V/V" - 1 = 5.55

V/V" = 5.55 + 1

V/V" = 6.55

V"/V = 1/6.55

V"/V = 0.153

So, the fish must inflate its air sacs to 0.153 of its expanded body volume
