Answer:

A) An early step in the path to thromboxanes is blocked by ibuprofen.

Explanation:

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules that are produced by oxidation of  arachidonic acid or other twenty-carbon essential fatty acid. Eicosanoids are involved in immune responses: they inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever, they also regulate pregnancy, childbirth, control cell growth..

Synthesis of  prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane (subfamilies of eicosanoids) is inhibited by aspirin and some anti-Inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.

2. Suppose that you and 19 of your classmates (giving a final population of 10 males and 10 females) are on a cruise, and your s
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.25%

Explanation:

20 people start the new population. So there are 20 genes or 40 alleles for the recessive disorder phenylketonuria. 2 out of 40 alleles are recessive for the condition hence frequency of the allele = 2/40 = 0.05

Frequency of the allele does not change when the population increases so it is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it, if q is the frequency of recessive allele, q² = frequency of the recessive condition

Here, q = 0.05 So,

q² = (0.05)² = 0.0025

In percentage, it is 100 * 0.0025 = 0.25%

Hence, incidence of phenylketonuria in the new population is 0.25%

38 through 40 need help
harkovskaia [24]

38. There are three main steps to DNA replication: initiation, elongation, and termination. In order to fit within a cell's nucleus, DNA is packed into tightly coiled structures called chromatin, which loosens prior to replication, allowing the cell replication machinery to access the DNA strands.

39. Cancer is primarily a disease of ageing epithelia, and of ageing individuals. We now possess detailed insights into the changes in cell regulatory genes and DNA repair systems which accumulate with time and which manifest in malignancy.

40. Proto-oncogene: A normal gene which, when altered by mutation, becomes an oncogene that can contribute to cancer. Proto-oncogenes may have many different functions in the cell. Some proto-oncogenes provide signals that lead to cell division. Other proto-oncogenes regulate programmed cell death (apoptosis).  Proto-oncogenes (unmutated oncogenes) stimulate cell division in a regulated manner. Proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, and cyclins. Oncogenes are mutated forms of these genes that result in unregulated stimulation of cell division. Tumor suppressor genes prevent cell division.

Have a good day xD
