Answer: Cushing Syndrome

Explanation:

Cushing Syndrome occurs when the body is exposed to high level of cortisol for a long time either externally (taken into the body from outside ) or internally (secretion in excess of the hormone called cortisol by the body) . It can also be called hypercortisolism .

The symptoms of Cushin Syndrome may vary depending on the severity of the excess cortisol secretion. Females may have irregular menstrual period due to this condition.

Asthma and arthritis patients who take corticosteroids and experiences the mentioned symptoms should seek medical attention for diagnosis.

What is the best source of nuclear DNA when working with hair samples?
tino4ka555 [31]
The answer is a hair root.

Nuclear DNA is commonly extracted from the hair root. The hair root consists of keratinocytes. Keratinocytes are cells found in the epidermis. As all other cells, they contain DNA material. When keratynocites die, they get converted into keratoid material in the process of cornification. As a consequence, d<span>ead cells do not contain DNA material. Therefore, the hair root is the best source of nuclear DNA than shed or cut hair when working with hair sample.</span>

Approximately 21% of the human genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C. Given this information, calculate the percentage
azamat

Answer:

(a) 21% of the human genome is comprised of G.

(b) 29% of the human genome is comprised of T.

(c) 29% of the human genome is comprised of A.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, a DNA molecule has the same amount of pyrimidines (T and C) as purines (A and G), and G pairs with C and A pairs with T.

If 21% of the genome contains C, then 21% also contains G.

Therefore 21% + 21% = 42% of the genome is comprised of G+C.

The other 58% is comprised of A+T, and because they pair with each other, 29% will correspond to A and 29% will correspond to T,

What main criterion determines major divisions in tje geologic time scale?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A) Times of major climate change

Explanation:

The geological time scale is based on major changes in Earth's climate history. This is because of the reason that climate governs the geological processes on Earth. In geology, we study the ages with the help of stratigraphical data where sediment deposition and the fossils it is hosting are the keys to understand the environmental conditions at that particular time. These conditions didn't change significantly unless the climate was changed. An example is the extinction of dinosaurs during K/T boundary event (mass extinction). The most likely reason is the hitting of a meteorite on Earth that changed the climate of Earth in a short period making it least favorable for many organisms to survive.

On the other hand, the occurrence of huge events cannot be used to establish a geological time scale because sometimes, the changes happen more slowly.

Similarly, shifts in the Earth orbits are cyclic however geological time scale doesn't reflect cyclic changes. The same climate can establish in different ages but these events are not used not as a criterion to establish a geological time scale.

In the end, the time span of humans on Earth is very small when compared with the overall geological time scale. Humans record exists from Pleistocene (2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago) to today whereas geological time scale starts in the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago).
