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.

Explain why there is glucose ni urine​
sattari [20]

This could be because someone has Glycosuria. Glycosuria is what happens when your kidneys can not take out enough sugar from your blood vessels and in turn passes it through urination. This is usually not a good thing to have as it could tell you that your kidneys do not function as good as they should. This is something that is not dangerous to your life, but does need to be looked at because it tells you that your kidneys are weaker than they should be and might lead to other complications later in life.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>E. Stimulation of T-cell by APC</span>

The initial exposure of the body to an infectious agent e.g. through a vaccine, triggers an immune response most of which rapidly diminishes after the vaccination.  However some cells of the immune system called lymphocytes remain with a memory of that pathogen.As a result, if the same pathogen infects a vaccinated person, the memory cells remember and recognize it and rapidly spring into action triggering a much more rapid response specific to that pathogen than the initial exposure, effectively dealing and neutralizing the pathogen.
