Answer:

A scientist discovers a DNA-based test for one allele of a particular gene. This and only this allele, if homozygous, produces an effect that results in death at or about the time of birth. Which of the following statements describes the best use of this discovery?

Screen all newborns of an at-risk population.

Explanation:

When all newborns are screened, it enable the researcher to identify areas with lapses   in order to correct such either by introducing an heterozygous to correct the abnormality

You have two types of bread, three types of meat, and two types of cheese. How many different sandwiches can you make if each sa
Dmitry [639]
Number of types of bread for making sandwich = 2
Number of types of meat for making sandwich = 3
Number of types of cheese for making sandwich = 2
Then
Number of different sandwiches that can be made = 2 * 3* 2
                                                                                 = 12 sandwiches

From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option.

Explain what happens during the three phases of signal transduction.
Morgarella [4.7K]
The three phases of signal transduction is (1) reception, (2) transduction, and (3) response. Reception involves the binding of a ligand, may it be a hormone or a neurotransmitter; to a receptor, may it be a membrane receptor, cytosolic receptor, or a nuclear receptor. After binding of the ligand to the receptor, there will be signal transduction of events that will ultimately form a response. For instance, insulin actin on the insulin receptor will trigger a series of events that will increase the transcription of the gene translating for glucose transporters and ultimately, increase the number of glucose transporters embedded in the cell membrane leading to increased glucose uptake in tissues.
