Provide an example of maintaining homeostasis at the system level.

Biology

vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
4 0
<span>An example of homeostasis is blood sugar level. When the blood sugar level is very high, the pancreas produces insulin, and insulin tells the cells to take the glucose and use it. If cells need energy, they make the cell respiration and produce energy. If they don't need it, they convert it into glucogene or fat and store it. On the contrary, when the blood sugar level is very low, pancreas produce glucagon, which tells cells the opposite: make glucose appear! So if they don't have glucose, they convert glucagon or fat into glucose and release it into the blood.</span><span />

A strand of DNA has the bases AGTAAC. Using letters, show the matching DNA strand.
kkurt [141]
The matching DNA strand would be A - T, G - C, A -T, A - T, C - G, or in other words TCTTG (because you had the strand AGTAAC). 

Always remember that A pairs with T, G pairs with C, T obviously pairs with A, and C obviously with G.

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as
Digiron [165]

Answer:

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.​

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.  

Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.

<u>DNA recombination</u> is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <u><em>Mutant or mutated DNA</em></u><em> is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence </em>
  • <u><em>Hybrid DNA</em></u><em> is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used. </em>
  • <u><em>Polyploid</em></u><em> refers to cells containing the genome of different species.</em>
