A malaria outbreak causing allele frequencies to change is an example of

1 answer:

<span>This would be an example of a mutation, because the changing of allele frequencies would be a change within the gene itself, which would be a mutation in the DNA. This is evidenced by the fact that there is now a form of human resistance to malaria, due to changes within human DNA itself.</span>

Which statement is false about fungi?

alekssr [168]

Answer:

C) Most fungi get their nutrients by ingesting small pieces of other living organisms.

Explanation:

Most fungi are saprotroph, it is, they obtain nutrients by decomposing non-living organic matter -i.e. dead plant or animal matter- and absorbing soluble organic compounds; carbohydrates are the preferred carbon source.

A smaller percentage of fungal species are parasites, and obtain nutrients from living hosts (other living organisms).

What happens to proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum

nikklg [1K]

The correct answer is A. They are synthesized.

In the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are synthesized on to the surface of a rough endoplasmic reticulum. With the help of ribosomes which contains mRNA, the small bounded organelles enter the chamber where mRNA which contains proteins is being released.
Endoplasmic reticulum also regulates the quality of the proteins.

if a retrovirus could infect one of any of these kinds of cells, which would amplify it the most within the first 2 hours?

ryzh [129]

Cancer cells are the best target to amplify the most within first 2 hours. Highly oncogenic retroviruses are recombinants of viral and host genes.

Retroviruses are viruses with RNA rather than DNA in their genomes that infect cancer cells. Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that is used to integrate into the DNA of the host cells. It is enhanced to a greater extent the more cell replication takes place. More retroviruses are then produced by the cell, infecting further cells. Many diseases, including AIDS and various types of cancer, are linked to retroviruses.

Low-incidence cancer-causing retroviruses lack inserted host information. Instead, it seems that they alter the expression of potentially carcinogenic host genes, which in turn results in cancer. Retroviruses incorporate proviral DNA into the chromosomal DNA of their host during the course of their regular life cycle. Integrations take place across numerous locations. Although most integrations are benign, some can cause cancer. Many of these seem to encode tyrosine phosphorylating protein kinases.
