lly resistant offspring. How can this be explained? A) mutations were planned out by the bugs B) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had the mutation C) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had no mutations D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random.

Mutation is defined as a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a genome in an organism.

Mutation can be randomly caused by DNA replication errors, exposure to carcinogenic materials or radiations, transposons et cetera. It can sometimes occur spontaneously which are termed as a spontaneous mutation.

Mutation does not always result in loss of function. It may also result in a gain of function such as resistance to any chemical.

Similarly, in bed bugs the mutations which allow their survival against chemical pesticides are random.

What is the goal of the pentose phosphate pathway, explain.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: Pentose phosphate pathway produces ribose-5-phosphate sugars that are used in the production of DNA and RNA molecules.

Explanation: Pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol like glycolysis, with its end products being ribose-5-phosphate sugars and NADH used in production of RNA and DNA.

Difference between these pathways are that the pentose phosphate is anabolic. It uses alot of energy, NADPH and ATP for building. Unlike glycolysis its primary function is not energy production, which on the other hand glycolysis is catabolic, primarily leading to the the production of energy.

Given the preliminary diagnosis of furious rabies, how should you proceed with the nurse who your patient bit?
Damm [24]
Wash the wound with soap and water. Administer vaccination. If the patient who bit the nurse had furious rabies, the patient was excited and hyperactive. The patient will die in a few days. Human to human transmission through bites is potentially possible, but has never been confirmed, according to the World Health Organization. Still, rabies causes death, so wash the nurse's wound thoroughly for 15  minutes with soap, water, detergent and iodine, administer rabies vaccine and administer immunoglobulin against rabies.

Small molecules and proteins can act as cellular communication signals by binding to cell receptors. a protein binds to its rece
mariarad [96]

The correct answer is signal transduction.

Signal transduction also called cell signaling refers to the conduction of molecular signals from the external of the cell to its internal. The signals perceived by the cells must be conducted efficiently into the cell to make sure an effective response. This step is stimulated by cell-surface receptors.

There are three phases in the procedure of communication or cell signaling, that is, reception, transduction, and response.
