Answer:

mediante mutaciones en el ADN  

Explanation:

El desastre ecológico de Chernóbil estuvo asociado a la liberación de importantes cantidades de radiación en forma de radioisótopos hacia la atmósfera, como producto de la explosión de un reactor que contenía toneladas de uranio radiactivo. La exposición a este tipo de radiación aumenta las probabilidades de sufrir mutaciones en la molécula de ADN. Dicho de otro modo, la radiación incrementa las chances de sufrir cambios en el material genético hereditario. Las mutaciones generalmente son corregidas por los mecanismos de reparación del ADN; sin embargo, existen ocasiones donde las mutaciones no son reparadas. Por otro lado, las mutaciones a menudo tienen efectos deletéreos y por lo tanto están asociadas a enfermedades, ya que los cambios en la secuencia genética provocan consecuentemente también cambios en las proteínas codificadas por estos genes. Por ejemplo, las mutaciones sufridas por genes supresores de tumores se encuentran asociadas a la aparición de células cancerosas por el mal funcionamiento de dichos genes. El efecto de la mutación depende del tipo celular que sufre la mutación: aunque las mutaciones sufridas por células somáticas pueden afectar la salud, estos tipos de mutaciones no son heredadas (simplemente porque las células somáticas no se heredan), mientras que las mutaciones sufridas por células germinales, es decir, en las células encargadas de la formación de gametos, pueden ser transmitidas a la descendencia.

This thermogram shows a person using a computer. Complete the sentence to describe the flow of thermal energy between the person
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The thermal energy will flow from the computer to the person.

Explanation :

Usually computer are such devices which converts electrical energy into thermal energy and then it gets transferred to the person. The energy flows from the higher amount to lower amount. In this case, computer is producing higher thermal energy than the person that’s the reason for the flow of energy from computer to the person.

The combination of mitotic cyclin with CDK signals the __________.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is beginning of cell mitosis.

Explanation:

Cyclins are cell cycle regulatory protein which regulates the catalytic activity of cyclin dependent protein kinase or CDK.From the name cyclin dependent protein kinase it can be concluded that CDK helps in the phosphorylation of key proteins of cell cycle.

  The combination of cyclin with CDK helps in the progression of cell from one phase to another.

  Such as cyclin A CDK 2 helps also called G1 cyclin CDK helps in progression of cell from G1 to S phase whereas Cyclin B CDK 1 or M cyclin CDK helps in beginning of mitosis phase or M phase of the regulated cell.

satela [25.4K]
More than 150 years ago, inventors began working on a bright idea that would have a dramatic impact on how we use energy in our homes and offices. This invention changed the way we design buildings, increased the length of the average workday and jumpstarted new businesses. It also led to new energy breakthroughs -- from power plants and electric transmission lines to home appliances and electric motors.

Like all great inventions, the light bulb can’t be credited to one inventor. It was a series of small improvements on the ideas of previous inventors that have led to the light bulbs we use in our homes today.
