Answer:

Epistasis

Explanation:

In epistasis, the interaction between genes is inimical, such that one gene masks or interferes with the expression of another. “Epistasis” is a word coined of Greek roots that mean “standing upon.” The alleles that are being masked or silenced are said to be hypostatic to the epistatic alleles that are doing the masking. The cause of the biochemical basis of epistasis is a genetic pathway in which the expression of one gene is dependent on the function of a gene that precedes or follows it in the pathway.

The example of epistasis given is the pigmentation of mice. we were told that "if a mouse has two recessive alleles for coat color,  it is always albino no matter what the genotype of other genes involved in coat color"

Let say recessive allele (rr), it is always albino irrespective of other type of other genes, this is true in the stance that epistasis can be reciprocal such that either gene, when present in the dominant (or recessive) form, expresses the same genotype.

Why gene flow isn’t the cause of antibiotic resistance
romanna [79]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance continues to become worse, despite the ever-increasing resources devoted to combat the problem. One of the most important factors in the development of resistance to antibiotics is the remarkable ability of bacteria to share genetic resources via Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT).

LGT occurs on a global scale, such that in theory, any gene in any organism anywhere in the microbial biosphere might be mobilized and spread. With sufficiently strong selection, any gene may spread to a point where it establishes a global presence. From an antibiotic resistance perspective, this means that a resistance phenotype can appear in a diverse range of infections around the globe nearly simultaneously. We discuss the forces and agents that make this LGT possible and argue that the problem of resistance can ultimately only be managed by understanding the problem from a broad ecological and evolutionary perspective. We also argue that human activities are exacerbating the problem by increasing the tempo of LGT and bacterial evolution for many traits that are important to humans.

Answer: Hi there, I'm so sorry no one answer your question here is what I got

The nervous system makes you thirsty. The integumentary system makes you sweat.

The hypothalamus is part of the nervous system and controls vegetative functions, such as hunger, thirst and body temperature. When you run a race, your body starts to lose fluids due to sweat. At that moment the nervous system (through the hypothalamus) trying to maintain homeostasis in your body signals that you are thirsty.

As already mentioned above, when you participate in a race you start to sweat. This is a reaction of the integumentary system, through the skin, releasing fluids to regulate your body temperature.

Explain how parts of a glucose molecule are used to make amino acids.
ladessa [460]

Glucose particles are ingested from gastrointestinal cells into the circulatory system. The circulation system then, at that point, conveys the glucose particles all through the body. Glucose enters every cell of the body and is involved by the cells mitochondrion as fuel.
