There are many reasons why researchers use mice as animal models in science and medicine. A huge reason why mice are used is that their genetics and behavioral characteristics are very close to humans. So, having an animal model for Huntington’s Disease would help scientists be able to study the disease further and make advancements in treatment options in a far less costly and a much safer way than studying it in humans. Mice as animal models can also help in a huge way because their lifespans are very short compared to humans (they only live about 2-3 years). This allows scientists to be able to study the affects of the gene over many generations in a much shorter amount of time.

Vesna [10]

Answer: Option B) Nuclei house the DNA, which is the blueprint for proteins. Cell types I, II, and III can synthesize proteins.

Explanation:

All the genetic information that determines the traits expressed in an organism are loaded up within the DNA sequence. Hence, several genes that codes functional proteins are derived from the DNA, making DNA a blueprint for protein synthesis.

Thus, Cell types I, II, and III with DNA can synthesize proteins.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.

Explanation:

Bacteria that use light for energy requirements mean that they get their energy from photosynthesis and transferring energy through the molecules.

Bacteria play a major part in the reductive and oxidative cycle of the sulfur which is mediated by the help of photosynthetic bacteria, so the sulfur or sulfur compounds are major requirements for their growth in the habitat or the medium.

Thus, the correct answer would be- There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.
