Answer:

e: pleiotropy

Explanation:

<em>Pleiotropy is a genetic term that describes a situation in which a single gene controls the expression of multiple traits. </em>

Depending on the underlining mechanism, there are different types of pleiotropy:

  • gene pleiotropy: this occur when a protein representing a gene interacts with other proteins or catalyses multiple reactions
  • developmental pleiotropy: this occur when mutation of a gene have multiple phenotypic effects
  • selectional pleiotropy: This occur when the phenotypic expression of a single gene has multiple effects on fitness.

In this case, cystic fibrosis gene has multiple phenotypic effects which include its effects on the lungs, pancreas, digestive system and other organs.

<em>The correct option is e.</em>

Asi todas las células son muy pequeñas. ¿Qué limitaciones físicas y metabólicas determinan el tamaño celular? ¿ A qué problemas
N76 [4]

Answer:

- Limitación física: la relación superficie volumen es baja para un intercambio eficiente de sustancias con el medio

- Limitación metabólica: en principio no existen limitaciones metabólicas  

Explanation:

La membrana celular es una estructura fundamental para el funcionamiento celular, ya que de la membrana celular depende el intercambio de nutrientes y desechos por parte de la célula con su entorno (medio extracelular). En células muy grandes la relación entre la superficie cubierta por la membrana y el volumen celular es muy baja, lo cual dificulta el intercambio de compuestos (tanto nutrientes como desechos) con el medio extracelular. Por otro lado, los mecanismos metabólicos en principio no deberían verse afectados por el tamaño celular. Por ejemplo, los perfiles metabólicos de expresión génica son independientes del tamaño celular y están adaptados a diferentes tipos celulares, desde una célula huevo que es proporcionalmente varias veces más grande que un célula diferenciada la cual sin embargo no ha perdido la capacidad de dividirse, un ejemplo de esto son las células cancerosas derivadas de células epidérmicas diferenciadas las cuales poseen la capacidad de dividirse y de proliferar indiscriminadamente.

Science is best described as a.. a.) set of facts b.) way of knowing c.)collection of beliefs d.) list of rules
alexdok [17]

The correct way to describe science is that is referred as a way of knowing.

The reason for this definition is that, it is responsibility of ancient to help humans to gain knowledge and understands in response to what they want to search so as to know more about something.

It organizes and builds knowledge for predictions and explanation on the universe.

Science can be divided into natural science, social science which include economics, and formal science which include mathematics.
