The accumulation of mutations can drive the aging process .

Biology
1 answer:
Mrac [35]3 years ago

Yes accumulation of mutation can drive aging process.

Explanation:

The molecular damage that occurs in cells and tissues for a long time due to DNA damage and epigenetic changes gets accumulated in the cell.

This leads to lowering of the homeostasis in the cell during stress conditions and eventually risks of life-threatening diseases as cancers  or neurodegenerative disorders develop.

Due to mutation in the gene DNA repair mechanism also gets affected this  also contributes to the ageing of cells.

The telomere of the chromosome is shortened after every mitotic division but telomerase enzyme keeps adding the DNA sequence preventing shortening aging and death of the cell. If  the mutation occurs in this enzyme it will increase the ageing of cells at high rate.

2.4 State two reasons why the fern plants are able to
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because ferns are vascular plants i.e they have vascular tissues which are xylem and phloems which help to conduct water and nutrients while mosses are non vascular plants.

2. Ferns sporophytes are differentiated into true leaves, stems and true roots while mosses lack true roots, stems and leaves.

Underground stems are modified part of plants that are derived from stem tissues which grow under the ground. Underground stems grow beneath the soil. Examples include Rhizomes, ginger, tubers e t.c.

What term is used to refer to the process in which dna can be introduced into host bacterial cells?
Anna71 [15]

There are three ways in which exogenous dna can be introduced into a bacterial genome. These are; transduction, transformation and conjugation. Transduction is the introduction of exogenous material into bacteria by viruses; conjugation is exchange of genetic material between bacteria sexual through  reproduction; while transformation is uptake of exogenous dna by bacteria, from its surrounding, through the bacterial membrane.

Cellular reactions can be made spontaneous by
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Cellular reactions are made spontaneous by C  coupling with ATP breakdown to ADP.

Explanation:

ATP is an energy rich compound.ATP undergo hydrolysis to generate high amount of free energy.

         The free energy of ATP hydrolysis is used to make a non spontaneous reaction or thermodynamically unfavorable reaction to thermodynamically favorable manner.

  Thus the cellular reactions are made spontaneous by coupling with ATP breakdown to ADP.

How are electric force and magnetic force similar?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Both electric and magnetic field are conservative forces.

Both obey inverse square law.

Both are non contact forces (Forces can be exerted without contact).

Both are attractive as well as repulsive (Like poles repel, like charges repel; unlike poles attract, unlike charges attract).
