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.

¿Qué se puede agregar a un átomo para hacer que un electrón sin valencia en el átomo se convierta temporalmente en un electrón d
NNADVOKAT [17]

Energía.

Explicación:

Generalmente, los electrones giran continuamente en las capas de los átomos. Si estos electrones se encuentran en las capas más externas de un átomo, se denominan electrones de valencia.

Son necesarios para las reacciones químicas de un átomo en particular con otro, a través de sus pérdidas o compartidas.

En los átomos sin valencia, sus capas más externas no tienen electrones en sus capas más externas, tales átomos son estables.

Sin embargo, si se suministra cierta cantidad de energía a dicho átomo, el electrón gana energía y, por lo tanto, se excita.

Por lo tanto, se mueven de niveles de energía más bajos a niveles de energía más altos, y hacen que el átomo sin valencia se convierta en valencia temporalmente, a medida que se mueven hacia la capa más externa.

Answer:

Energy.

Explanation:

Generally, electrons revolves continuously in the shells of  atoms.if these electrons are located in the outer most shells of an atom,they are refereed to as the Valence electrons.

They are needed for chemical reactions of a particular atom with another,through their loses or sharing.

In Non -valence atoms their outermost shells do not have electrons at their outermost shells,such atoms are stable.

However, if  certain quantity of energy is supplied  to  such atom, the electron  gains energy and therefore becomes excited.

They therefore move from lower energy levels to higher energy levels,and makes the non- valence atom becomes valence temporarily, as they move into the outermost shell.

Why would it be expected that a swordfish would exhibit higher methyl mercury levels than a tilapia? (site 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Mercury is a liquid metal that is released into the environment by both natural processes such as volcanic activity, weathering of rocks, etc and human activities such as waste materials from factories. The mercury that reaches the ocean and other water sources is converted into methylmercury by bacteria. Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that interferes with the nervous system and is easily absorbed by the human body.

The methylmercury is taken up by planktons. Small fishes consume large quantities of plankton. Tilapia is a small, short-lived freshwater fish. The methylmercury level in tilapia is lower than that of other fish. When large, long-living predatory fishes such as tuna, shark, king mackerel, swordfish, etc consume many smaller fish with low mercury levels, this causes accumulation of methylmercury at extremely high levels in their tissues over time i.e., the amount of mercury in such bigger fish biomagnifies.  

So large, long-lived predators like swordfish and shark often have the highest methyl mercury levels than a small, short-lived tilapia.

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c
AleksAgata [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Nondisjunction occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to segregate during anaphase I or sister chromatids fail to segregate during anaphase II. The result is an addition or loss of one or more chromosomes. Nondisjunction is associated with disorders like Down's syndrome due to an extra chromosome, Klinefelter's syndrome or Turner's syndrome. These phenomenon where one has three members of homologous chromosome is called trisomy.
