Amniocentesis is a process in which amniotic fluid is taken from the mother's womb to identify any genetic abnormalities in the

fetus. How would the discovery of the human genome contribute to this process?

Answer:

The correct option is <em>"the exact location of a particular disease-causing gene can be determined."</em>

Explanation:

The discovery of the human genome will let us know the sequence of normal genes in a human. By comparing to this sequence, one can easily know if there is any abnormality in the fetus. The exact location where a fault has occurred can be recognized if the sequence of the normal human genome is known. Hence, the discovery of the human genome is very beneficial to the process of amniocentesis.

If you were designing a method to specifically inhibit prokaryotic transcription, but not eukaryotic transcription, interfering
kobusy [5.1K]

The correct answer is: B) recognition of the prokaryotic promoter by RNA polymerase

The similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription are that DNA is template used for the mRNA synthesis and that this is process is facilitated by the enzyme RNA polymerase.  

One of the difference between this process in eukaryotes and in prokaryotes is the promoter region: eukaryotes contain TATA box and CAT box, while prokaryotes don’t (they have  Pribnow box that is similar to the TATA box). Promoter region in prokaryotes is always upstream to the start site, while in eukaryotes it can be downstream.

Naddika [18.5K]
Flagella and cilia have the exact same structures and functions, and the names merely indicate how many are present on a given cell. When found singly or in a pair, these cell protrusions are called flagella<span>.</span>
