Answer:

Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are mainly in the cell nucleus.

Luden [163]

Answer:

b. A second marker in the knock-out cassette, that if inserted into the genome results in cell death when plated on selective media.

Explanation:

General recombination, also known as homologous recombination, refers to the naturally occurring process of exchange of genetic material between pairs of homologous DNA sequences. This process (homologous recombination) can be exploited by genetic engineering to insert DNA segments of interest at target genes. Moreover, a cassette is a mobile DNA segment containing almost a gene and a recombination site, which is integrated into the <em>locus</em>/<em>loci</em> of interest by homologous recombination. A cassette may contain a DNA segment called 'negative marker' which prevents growth under particular conditions, while a positive marker permits growth under certain conditions. In consequence, a second marker consisting of a drug cassette may be used as a negative marker in order to evidence its insertion by inducing cell death when they are plated in selective conditions.

In some cases, a hormone is unable to have its effect unless the target cell has a simultaneous exposure to a second hormone. Wh
postnew [5]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. Permissive.

Explanation:

The permissive effect or interaction of a hormone is in which hormone can not show or exert its complete effect without the presence of another hormone on a specific target site or cell.

The interaction of a hormone can occur in two more ways - synergies and antagonism where synergy occurs when two hormones perform the same action on a target cell and impact are amplified, and antagonist has the opposite role in the presence of another hormone.

Thus, the correct answer is - d. Permissive.

Which hormone increases osteoclast activity to release more calcium ions into the bloodstream?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: both parathyroid hormone and calcitrol.

Explanation:

In the body calcium homeostasis, which is generally defined as the maintenance of specific internal conditions, is mediated by the endocrine system through hormonal control; hormones are usually specialized signal molecules derived from lipids or amino acids. This regulates the calcium flux between the bloodstream and the bone; and the hormones responsible, change the ratio of osteoclast activity to osteoblast activity -osteoblasts build bone while osteoclasts breakdown or degrade bone.

Hormones responsible include calcitonin (from special parafollicular cells in the thyroid gland), cacitrol (activated vitamin D) and the parathyroid hormone (from the  parathyroid glands).  These affect the absorption of calcium from the gut, or kidney reabsorption; both parathyroid hormone and calcitrol act by causing the release of calcium ions into the bloodstream as the bone is degraded by osteoclasts.
