Yes because organism have their own dna if something in rna changes the whole thing changes. If the rna changes the protein will change. Like an insertion,deletion or substitution will change the coding.

Imagine that five hypothetical genes are arranged on a chromosome in the following order: G--H--I--J--K. Which two genes are mos
andrezito [222]

Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.

Oksana_A [137]
Smooth muscles depolarize as a result of a transmembrane current of Calcium ions.                                                                                                                       When an action potential depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, it also travels into the body of the cell via the t-tubules. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is dependent in two sources of calcium in order to intiate contraction. These two sources are calcium sequestered in the S.R. of the smooth muscle cell.

All of the following are regulatory functions of the endocrine system except Select one: a. labor contractions. b. development o
aleksley [76]

Answer:

c. immune functions.

Explanation:

The endocrine system is involved in the regulation of metabolic rate, body temperature (thermoregulation), tissue development and labor contractions except immune functions.

Studies have shown that no hormone has been identified as being important in the regulation of the immune system. Therefore immune functions is not a regulatory function of the endocrine system.

Although, there have been articles on the endocrine and immune system crosstalk, only a hypothesis of various proteohormones not single hormones have been discovered to act on immunocompetent cells.

The distal end of the humerus has
Vikki [24]

Answer: a. epicondyles

Explanation:

Distally the humerus bone is flattened. It exhibit a prominent bony projection on the medial side it is called as the medial epicondyle of the bone. The lateral epicondyle is present on the lateral side of the distal part of the humerus bone.  

The grasping and powerful muscles of the forearm are attached with the medial epicondyle. It is typically robust and larger as compared to the lateral epicondyle. The lateral epicondyle is attached with the weaker muscles attached posteriorly.
