To trace our maternal lineage, we observe mutations that have accumulated in our mitochondrial dna (mtdna). in the dna isolation

and amplification lab, we amplified a highly variable and non-coding region in the hyper-variable segment i of our own mtdna using polymerase chain reaction. why did we choose to amplify a non-coding region rather than a coding region to determine our lineage?

In the coding region, natural selection tends to eliminate all of the mutations because of the high importance these regions have. The coding region contains genes that synthesize proteins and the changes in the DNA sequence can have devastating effects on the cell. Therefore, there are very few differences in the sequences of coding regions that can help us trace the lineage.
On the other hand, in the non-coding regions, the mutations often accumulate because they have little effect on the cell and the adaptive value of the organism. This enables us to trace up the lineage by comparing the sequences and seeing the differences in the sequences.

Answer:

I'd Say A because it talks about slowing down the plants and removing stuff from the soil. Fire and smoke only cause problems for the surrounding area by blocking the sun and burning the ground, removing materials plants need for life. Then when it rains all the acidic stuff kills the ground as well.

Explanation:

Hope this helped.

Explain how and why hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions affect plant and animals cells?
lesya692 [45]
When placed into an hypertonic solution, animal cells will shrivel up, while plant cells will stay firm thanks to their air-filled vacuole. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will take on water and appear more plump. In an isotonic solution, they'll stay the same.

Exposure of zebrafish nuclei to meiotic cytosol resulted in phosphorylation of NEP55 and L68 proteins by cyclin-dependent kinase
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISASSEMBLY OF THE NUCLEAR ENVELOPE

Explanation: The disassembly of the nuclear envelope is triggered by the cyclin‐dependent kinase at the onset of mitosis. At this point, Integral nuclear membrane proteins diffuse/move into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after nuclear envelope breakdown. The nuclear envelope reassembles around compact chromosome mass at late anaphase/telophase and the chromosomes condenses and become visible.

Amyloid fibrils are associated with many fatal degenerative diseases of humans and livestock. Livestock diseases such as scrapie
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Amyloid fibrils have a high amount of β-sheet structure.

c. Because most newly synthesized proteins fold correctly, the accumulation of misfolded proteins (or fragments) tends to occur slowly, thus explaining the slow onset of disease.

e. Proteins that form amyloid fibrils are normally soluble.

Explanation:

Amyloids can be defined as fibrillar protein aggregates composed of a β-sheet secondary structure. In general, the amyloid fibrils are composed by soluble proteins that are assembled to form insoluble resistant to degradation fibers. In humans, defective amyloid proteins produced by misfolding are known to produce diseases (amyloidosis) capable of altering the function of tissues and organs. Systemic forms of amyloidosis are common in neurodegenerative disorders.
