Allergies are caused by environmental factors known as allergens like dust, pollen, ceramics etc.

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder.

Common cold is caused by viruses i.e. pathogen.

Skin cancer is caused due to genetic factors like mutations & also, due to exposure to UV radiation.

Malaria is caused by a pathogen named as Plasmodium. Female Anopheles mosquito is the carrier of plasmodium. The plasmodium completes half of its life cycle in Female Anopheles mosquito & its rest of the life cycle is completed in human body.

As an analogy to gene expression in eukaryotes, let's compare it to the process of cooking recipes from a library of cookbooks.
scoundrel [369]
Two major steps are needed to obtain a protein from a gene. Transcription makes it possible to obtain a copy of the gene present on the chromosome, in the form of a messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation is the stage during which this mRNA is read by the ribosome to obtain a protein.
DNA replication is associated with photocopy because replication will give an identical copy of the cell DNA.
Transcription is associated with book printing because in transcription the genetic information will be transferred to another platform (RNA)
Nucleus in a Library since this is where the "book printing" occurs, and where the books (DNA) are
DNA is the book, where all the information are
RNA transcript is the photocopy
Translation is the cooking since it is the protein synthesis
Proteins/polypeptide is the cooking objective, so it is the prepared dish
RNA polymerase is the Xerox machine, it will copy the information in the DNA to RNA transcript
Ribosomes is the cooks, because this is where translation occurs
Activator protein are the bookmarks because it choose wich part of DNA it has to be transcript.

The calcium and phosphorus balance should be kept at what ratio for swine?
mash [69]

Answer:

We determined that if phosphorus is provided at the required level of 0.33%, the optimal ratio of calcium to phosphorus is 1.39:1 or 1.25:1 to maximise daily gain and gain-to-feed, respectively. To optimise bone ash, which is important for breeding sows, the ratio is 1.66:1,”

PLSSSS 30 POINTSS BRAINLEST
Ivenika [448]

Answer: The attachment listed some cell organelles,although there isn't a specific question on then but am going to be defining each of them and state their functions as well.

1. The Nucleus; The is command centre of the cell, it is made up of nuleolus, chromosomes, nucleoplasm,nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina.

it contains the genetic/hereditary materials that the cell is made up of.

The Nucleus plays a great role in the control of growth and development of the cell.

The nucleus also coordinates some of the the activities of the cell like cell division and protein synthesis.

2. Cytoplasm; The cytoplasm is one of the cell organelles,it is the liquid portion of the cell,it consists of cell contents between the plasma and the cell membrane. The fluid cytoplasmic material is where many cell organelles are found/suspended fluid. Most activities carried out by the cell occurs in the cytoplasm.

3. Endoplasmic Reticulum; The Endoplasmic Reticulum is one of the cell organelles that have the structure of a network of flattened sacs and tubules and play a crucial role in plant and animal cell. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks attached ribosomes in them thus giving it the smooth appearance.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum functions in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in and out of the cell and also the production of lipids.

4. Golgi Body; One of the plant organelles that plays a role in the sorting and organizing the proteins produced and processed by the Endoplasmic Reticulum. these proteins are sorted and packed in vessicles to be used by the body.

5. Mitochondria; (a double membrane organelle). It is otherwise known as the powerhouse of the cell,it produce/generate energy in the form of ATP needed for cellular respiration. These energy produced is used for other cellular metabolic activities.

6. Lysosome (Animal) Chloroplast (Plant); Lysosomes are found in most animal cells, they function by digesting good and garbage,they contains acids that aids this function in the stomach of the cell and when the lysosome is diseased or explodes,the cell stops functioning.

The Chloroplast on the other hand is found in the cells of plants and algae,they play a crucial broke in photosynthesis by capturing the energy from the sun and turning the captured energy into usable forms like sugar,glucose and other organic molecules.

7. Cell Membrane; The cell membrane is the cell organelle that forms a boundary between the cell and the sorounding environment.

The cell membrane as well controls the movement of cellular materials in and out of the cell.

8. Nucleolus; The nucleolus is one of the cell organelles where ribosomes are made. The ribosomes are small grain-shaped organelles that make protein and they are found in the surface of rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. Nucleolus are small and round in structure and are found in the nucleus,

9. Vacoule (Plant Cells) Centrioles (Animal Cells); The vacoule is a storage chamber(reservoir) for wanted and unwanted materials in the cell, the vacoule is found within the cytoplasm and it is enclosed by a membrane that typically contains fluid.

The centrioles on the part of the animal cell is a cell organelle that has a structure of a two hollow cylinders,ring of microtubules next to each other(the centrosome).the centrioles are located just outside the nucleus of the cell.

Centrioles function by producing the mitotic spindles for cell division, and also assisting to pull chromosome pairs apart to opposite end of the cell during cell division.

10. Cell Wall; A protective semi permeable rigid outer layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms.

The cell wall houses the organelles of the plant cell.

The cell wall functions by giving the cell strength and structure,it's semi permeable nature filters and selectively allows certain materials in and out of the cell.

Recommend an action humans could take to help prevent the extinction of tropical organisms
Art [367]

Answer:

Stop habitat destruction

Explanation:

Cutting down and burning forests basically take away the shelter, hunting grounds, and overall habitat away from many species that use the trees as a form of shelter and protection. Removing their shelter, which could be their only form of protection causes many of these organisms to die, not to mention the plants that are necessary to keep the food chain balanced.
