Answer:

THE SANDWICH GENERATION

Explanation:

The sandwich generation is a generation of people who provide support for their aging parents while taking care of their own children.

Social worker Dorothy Miller coined the term “sandwich generation” in 1981, and was initially speaking of younger women in their 30s-40s who were providing support for both their children and parents.

The sandwich generation scenarios are grouped into:

Traditional: Those sandwiched between aging parents who need support and/or take care of their own children.

Club Sandwich: comprises of the persons aged 50s-60s sandwiched between aging parents, adult children and grandchildren, or persons in their 30s-40s, with young children, aging parents and grandparents.

Open Faced: those that partake in elder support.

Sandwich Generation Demographic

Sandwich generation members are majorly middle-aged ranging between the ages of 40-59. With19% being not up to age 40, and 10% around age 60 and older. Men and mostly women are both members, Married adults with 36% of the married are members of this group and 13% of the unmarried are members too.

A G:T base pair in DNA suggests that _____
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

(A) The T was originally a cytosine, which was deaminated to a T

Explanation:

Adenine and guanine are found in both DNA and RNA.

Cytosine is found in both DNA and RNA.

Thymine is normally found in DNA.

In a CpG site (5'—C—phosphate—G—3') , that is, Cytosine and Guanine separated by only one phosphate group; phosphate links any two nucleosides together in DNA.

In a G:T base pair in DNA, Adenine pair with Thymine and Guanine pair with Cytosine.

Here in the question, The G:T base pair in DNA suggests that the T was originally a cytosine, which was deaminated to a T.

How methylation of CpG sites followed by spontaneous deamination leads to a lack of CpG sites in methylated DNA.

A  Cytosine base followed immediately by a Guanine base (a CpG) is rare in vertebrate DNA because the Cytosine in such an arrangement tend to be methylated. This methylation helps to distinguish the newly synthesized DNA strand from the parent strand, which aids in the final stages of DNA proofreading after duplication. However, over time methylated cytosines tend to turn into Thymine because of spontaneous deamination.

What identifies the job of a synapse?
bixtya [17]
Hey there,

Your question states: What identifies the job of a synapse?
The synapse job is that it is basically a junction between (2) never cells which has a 2 inch gap between impulses  and the neurotransmitter. A <span>neurotransmitter is know as a never that is known to be released at the end of the never fiber. So . .by restating the question, the job of the synapse would be to permit a neuron's to pass signal to other neuron's.

Hope this helps.

How is the circulatory system similar to a road-and-highway system?
VMariaS [17]
The arteries are like the highway, they are the main way. Veins and capillaries are like the roads because they connect the highways and vice versa.
