What is a insertion in biology

Biology
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
7 0

In genetics, an insertion (also called an insertion mutation) is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence. This can often happen in microsatellite regions due to the DNA polymerase slipping. ... On a chromosome level, an insertion refers to the insertion of a larger sequence into a chromosome.

How many food calories can a human burn up in an hour by exercising at this rate? (remember that only 20.0 % of the food energy
blsea [12.9K]

Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).

Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)


So:

1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s

1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s

we're looking for the calories, so

1 joule = 0.239006 calories


So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:

248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.


We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:

82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).


The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories

If the expression of every gene depends on a set of transcription regulators, then the expression of these transcription regulat
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Transcriptional regulators function to regulate the expression of different genes and also to affect the expression of other transcriptional regulators, thereby the combination of a few transcriptional regulators is sufficient to modulate gene expression patterns

Explanation:

Transcriptional regulators are able to control gene expression by binding to cis-regulatory elements on the genome. For example, in plants, MADS-box proteins are transcriptional regulators that contain an evolutionary conserved DNA-binding domain (i.e., MADS-box domain) which regulate simultaneously the expression of many different genes by binding to a conserved DNA motif called CArG box [CC(A/T)6GG] located in the promoter region of many genes expressed at specific stages of plant development. Within the cell, transcription regulators function not only by controlling the expression of different genes but also by affecting each other's activity, thereby creating different combinations where the expression of a limited number of transcription regulators is sufficient enough to regulate gene expression patterns.
