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.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

B. Virus.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since bacteria (A.) reproduce via asexual reproduction via mitosis and the animal (D.) and vegetal (C.) cells could reproduce via sexual or asexual reproduction depending on the organism, they do not need a host to start the replication of the DNA and therefore reproduce. In such a way, it is widely known that viruses need a host that facilitates the replication of their DNA or RNA (depending on the virus) since they only have their genetic information but they do not have neither the RNA nor the DNA polymerase that favor such process, that is why they need a host.

Best regards.

Estupefacientes o psicotrópicas productoras de dependencia física o síquica, capaces de provocar graves efectos tóxicos o daños
gladu [14]

Answer:

Drogas.

Explanation:

Las drogas son sustancias que tienen un efecto modificatorio sobre el estado normal de la psique. Por tanto, estas sustancias influyen en el comportamiento o la experiencia del usuario, pudiendo tener un efecto alucinógeno, pero también sedantes o una mixtura entre ambos.

El término se usa generalmente para indicar sustancias que tienen un efecto muy fuerte (por ejemplo, heroína, cannabis, mescalina, alcohol). Aunque los estimulantes cotidianos como el café y el chocolate también pueden tener un efecto en la psique, generalmente no se clasifican como sustancias psicoactivas debido a su efecto relativamente leve.

Los medicamentos que tienen un efecto sobre la psique se denominan psicofármacos. No obstante, los medicamentos que no se clasifican principalmente como psicofármacos, como los antihistamínicos, los agentes anti-mareo y los betabloqueantes, pueden también tener un efecto psicotrópico.
