Answer:
True
Explanation:
Energy sees a 90% decrease as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat during the transfer of energy.
Answer/Explanation:
(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein
To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.
To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.
(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.
To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.
To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR
Answer:
The correct answer is - 10³ seconds.
Explanation:
The nerve impulse is an electrical signal in which fluctuation in membrane potential occurs and forms an electrical signal that takes place that travels along the axon to the synapses.
Suppose a nerve impulse starts only when the first impulse ends according to the question so the one impulse last for the 10⁻³ second or 1 ms.
Thus, the nerve impulse fires per second will be equal to impulse generate in each second which is 1/10⁻³ = 10³.
Thus, the correct answer is - 10³ impulse per second or 1000 impulse per second.
