Every pathogen either virus or bacteria has its own specific DNA and DNA sequencing recognizes similarities while study sequence of nucleotide.

Further explanation

DNA sequencing

It is a phenomenon in which a piece of DNA is taken and its nucleotide bases (guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine) are determined. It is useful to study genetic information of an organism. Earlier technique of RNA sequencing was used.

Invention of DNA sequencing

Frederick Sanger was the first person who used this technique and was invented in 1970s. This technique is used in various field of biology such as molecular biology, Medicine, evolutionary biology, biotechnology and forensics.

Advantages of DNA sequencing

 It provides accurate information

 Genome remains same throughout life so it is done once in life

 It is not an expensive method so we can say that it saves money

 Genomic information can be obtained which is required for various purposes as health care

 Identify defective genes

Disadvantages of DNA sequencing

 It is a very time taking technique

 It cannot detect translocation, deletion and insertion

Explain the effect that hypoglycemia has at the cellular level, specifically on cellular respiration.

Fofino [41]

When a person is diagnosed of hypoglycemia, it indicates that a person has a low (below normal) blood glucose or low blood sugar in the blood. When a person is hypoglycemic, cellular respiration cannot take place. The oxygen that normally combines with glucose, which are supposedly converted to energy (ATP, adenosine triphosphate) during cellular respiration, accumulates in the bloodstream resulting to an increase pH and inactive enzymes -- essentials of cellular respiration.

Although the answer to this question remains uncertain, one theory is that an ancient land bridge may have allowed fauna from what is now China to reach Java. The theory is that the present-day Philippine Islands once formed part of a land bridge between mainland China and present day Java. This allowed vertebrates from the Chinese mainland to colonise Java. Supposedly, this occurred around the Pleistocene.
