Answer:

The somatic cell mutation and germ cell mutation.

Explanation:

The mutation is the change in the genetic makeup of an individual. It is a sudden change in the DNA base pairing. This occurs in both somatic cells and in germ cells. The somatic cell mutation creates a new character in the person, and it is harmless. The examples are six digits in man, tailless kitten, etc.

The germ cell mutation is heritable as it changes the genetic makeup of the zygote. This is always fatal to the animals. These mutations are also different types such as point mutation, frame shift mutation, substitution mutation. All changes alter the nucleotide base pairing and result in a new polypeptide formation.

On the basis of inheritance, mutations are somatic or inherited. Inherited or genetic mutations are those mutations that occur in germ cells. These cells are inherited by the offspring from their parents as they are present in gametes. All cells of a multicellular organisms are made up of a single cell zygote.

The mitochondrial DNA sequences of a large extended family were analyzed and compared to a single male in the family. Which of t

tester [92]

Answer:

His sisters son

Explanation:

Mitochondrial DNA are small circular chromosomes found inside the mitochondria. They are passed exclusively from the mother to children through the egg cell therefore it is maternally inherited.

In the given question. Mitochondrial DNA of an extended family was sequenced and compared to a single male.

His sisters son will match because the person and the sister will have similar mitochondria since they have the same mother. The sister will pass it down to her son.

A research team needs an antibody that binds to a protein of interest so that protein expression can be monitored. They use epit

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

C.The added epitope disrupts the function of the tagged protein

Explanation:

When an additional sequence is tagged to a protein to use comercial antibodies, there are several reasons why this procedure wouldn't work as expected (note that we're assuming the protein is being expressed but it's not possible to detect it).

For example, the sequence of nucleotide added to codify for the tagged epitope are removed during the RNA processing. In that case, the protein would be expressed without the epitope, so it would be impossible to localize it with the antibodies.

Also, it could be that the new epitope is affecting some way the protein folding, making it not functional. This way, it would be degraded by the cell so it wouldn't be detected.

Another possibility is that the epitope doesn't affects the protein folding nor its function, but during the folding ends up in a conformation that makes it inaccesible for the antibody.

In summary, the way as the possible answers to this question are shown, the correct option seems to be C:<em> The added epitope disrupts the function of the target protein.</em>

Which statements correctly describe herbivores and carnivores?

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The First and Third one for sure

Explanation:

Carnivores eat primary consumers as well as other carnivores if I'm not wrong, which would make them secondary or higher consumers.

Also, herbivores eat producers, which are plants and stuff and basically organisms that make their own food, which would make them primary consumers.

D. Explain the relationship between the pulse recorded in the finger and heart muscle contraction ______________________________

Setler [38]

Answer:

D. Heart contraction and pulse are connected with one another.

E. Atrial diastole and ventricle diastole.

Explanation:

Heart construction and pulse of an individual are connected as one can hear the pulse every time contraction of the heart is completed. Pulse can be understood by this that it represents the number of the contractions is completed by heart each time.

In the pulse tracing, there are two parts of the heart that are discernible which represents the contraction of the heart that are Atrial diastole and ventricle diastole.
