Galactosemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to metabolize the sugar galactose. People with galactosemia

suffer from liver, kidney, and brain damage among other symptoms. A gene mutation underlying galactosemia was identified by sequencing the genome of a person with galactosemia. What additional evidence would support the hypothesis that the mutation in the candidate gene causes the disease

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.

makvit [3.9K]
The correct answer is "southerners." Sarah and Angelina Grimké's parents were slaveholders; while Sarah and Angelina never experienced slavery themselves, they viewed it firsthand, and from their own experience decided to advocate against slavery. This decision carried so much weight because overall, southerners didn't want to give up slavery.

What is the description of Taiga?
devlian [24]
The taiga biome is the largest terrestrial biome and extends across Europe, North America, and Asia. It is located right below the tundra biome. The taiga biome is also known as coniferous forest or boreal forest. This biome typically has short, wet summers and long, cold winters. Precipitation is moderate in the taiga. It gets plenty of snow during the winter and plenty of rainfall during the summer.<span>Interesting Taiga Biome Facts:Fires are very common in the taiga biome. These fires are necessary to help rid the area of old and sick trees.There is not much variety in plants. Majority of the plants are conifer trees which is why the taiga is referred to as the coniferous forest.The conifer trees in the taiga biome are referred to as evergreen. This means they remain green all year round and never drop their leaves.<span>Because evergreen trees do not drop leaves, there is nothing to keep the soil in the taiga full of nutrients. This is the reason why there is not much variety in the vegetation. </span>Softwood timber is used to make paper. Majority of softwood timber comes from the taiga biome.<span>Although two major cities, Toronto and Moscow, are located in the taiga biome, most of this biome is uninhabited by people. </span>The taiga biome is very cold during the winter. Temperatures can reach as low as -60° F.For six months out of the year, the temperature in the taiga biome is below freezing.Plants can only grow during the summer when temperatures are favorable. This growing season only lasts about three months.Many animals of the taiga biome have to migrate to warmer areas or hibernate during the long, cold winters.Animals of the taiga have many specialized adaptions including lots of thick fur or feathers and the ability to change colors during different seasons.Scientists believe that the taiga biome was completely covered by glaciers many years ago.The taiga forests are endangered due to logging and mining by humans. When trees are cut down in the taiga, it takes a very long time to restore itself because of the very short growing season.Although there are not many animals in the taiga biome, it inhabits millions of insects. Birds migrate there to feed off these insects every year.<span>The temperature change in the taiga is extreme. It is either summer (hot) or winter (cold). The spring and fall are too short to notice.</span></span>

atroni [7]

Answer:

DNA is located in the nucleus, but can also be found in other cell structures called mitochondria. Since the nucleus is so small, the DNA needs to be tightly packaged into bundles known as chromosomes.

(a) What cell structures best reveal evolutionary unity?
xeze [42]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Evolutionary unity-  DNA

2. specialized cellular modifications- plant cells have chloroplasts and large central vacuole.

Explanation:

<u>Case I </u>

Evolutionary unity is a concept which explains that all the organisms possess some common structure or universal structure or molecules.

The best characterized evolutionary molecule is DNA molecule which took the role of genetic material in past and is passed on to the daughter cells and still is made up of the same components which are a five-carbon sugar, four types of nitrogenous bases and a phosphate group. This DNA molecule is present in almost every organism except for a few viruses.

<u>Case II </u>

The specialization of the cellular components depends on the function a cell has to perform which became established in the population. The plant cells depended on the sunlight to prepare food for themselves which was done by the chloroplast organelle which is absent in the animal kingdom.
