Answer:
(c) Inherited a mutation in a gene required for mismatch repair
Explanation:
Gene mutations are occasional changes that occur in genes, that is, the procedure by which a gene undergoes a structural change. Mutations involve the addition, deletion or substitution of one or a few nucleotides of the DNA strand. Mutation provides the emergence of new forms of a gene and, consequently, is responsible for gene variability.
It is common for several members of the same family to have the same genetic mutations, as the gene affected by the mutation may condition a trait that DNA cannot repair. An example of this is the family shown in the question above, where several people were diagnosed with the same type of cancer while still young. What probably happened in this family was that people diagnosed with cancer inherited a mutation in a gene needed to repair incompatibility.
Answer:
<em>Competition without division of resources may lead to extinction.</em>
Explanation:
Some species are better adapted to live in an environment as compared to other species. If resources become scarce then the species with better traits might take up all the resources of a species which are not better adapted. This will cause the species with unfavourable traits to become extinct. To survive in an environment, an organism needs to change and adapt according to the conditions of the environment. Otherwise, the species will become extinct.
Answer:
In order for the sodium motive force to provide useful energy for the cell the organism must contain sodium ion gradient or potential across the membrane.
Explanation:
If the concentration of sodium is high in the inter membrane space than that of matrix then a sodium gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The transport of sodium ions from inter membrane space to matrix through the sodium ion channel result in the generation of sodium motive force,that is used to provide energy to the cell.
True, our ecosystem is not independent. Everything depends on everything else to survive. :)
The mixture would be :
1. Homogeneous; dissolving followed by filtration and distillation
salt dissolve in water and will be the filtrate and chalk will be the residue in the filter paper
hope this helps
