The correct answer is kyphosis.

Kyphosis is a condition in which the spine in the upper back has an excessive curvature (larger than usually). It is often a consequence of osteoporosis in elder people and it is than called dowager’s hump.

Answer:

Scoliosis

Explanation:

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine to one side of the trunk, determined by the rotation of the vertebrae. Deformity can be seen by looking at the person from the back.

In other words: the main feature of scoliosis is the presence of a lateral curvature in the three-dimensional plane of movement (left / right, front / back and around the axis itself by rotation of a vertebra) which gives it the appearance of a C (a single curvature) or an S (more than one curvature).

Answer:

Explanation:

A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.

B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.

C.  False -  sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.

D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.

E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.

F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.

The vector, which is often a small, circular piece of dna that can exist outside the bacterial chromosome, is known as what?.
kramer

The vector, which is often a small, circular piece of dna that can exist outside the bacterial chromosome, is known as a plasmid.

Bacteria and certain other microscopic species contain plasmids, which are tiny circular DNA molecules. Physically distinct from chromosomal DNA, plasmids multiply on their own. They normally contain only a few genes, including some linked to antibiotic resistance, and they can spread from one cell to another.

Recombinant DNA techniques are used by scientists to splice the genes they want to research into a plasmid. The inserted gene is duplicated along with the plasmid when it duplicates itself. Molecular cloning, the process of creating DNA molecules and introducing them into a host cell, uses plasmid vectors as the means of delivering recombinant DNA into the host cell.

To know more about plasmids, refer to the following link:
