Answer: C. warfarin.

Explanation:

Warfarin has been the cornerstone of oral anticoagulant therapy for about 50 years. Its effectiveness has already been proven in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in the prevention of systemic embolism in patients  with cardiac valve prostheses or atrial fibrillation and the prevention of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in high-risk men. Warfarin mainly inhibits the vitamin K epoxide reductase enzyme, which prevents the cyclic interconversion of this vitamin. This way, by blocking the cyclic interconversion of vitamin K prevents carboxylation of glutamate residues in terminal regions in K-dependent proteins.  Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant in clinical practice and is composed of two isomers, R-warfarin, and S-warfarin (5 times more potent than R-isomer), which are metabolized in the liver by different routes.

Which statement accurately describes how identification of individuals through the use of genetic engineering is possible? 
Andre45 [30]

The identification of an individual by the means of genetic engineering is possible because the Y chromosomes in the males does not experience any crossing-over as there is only a single Y chromosome present in a human male.

The mitochondrial DNA is passed from the mother to child in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it is passed on without any changes. The X chromosome is can be passed from a mother to her son as he will receive Y chromosome from his father.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B - The Y chromosome does not experience crossing over'.
