Approximately what percentage of the human genome actually codes for proteins?

Biology

6 0

The correct answer is: 2.5%

The vast majority of the human genome (97.5%) is comprised of non-coding DNA with different functions. Non-coding DNA includes telomeres, introns, non-coding RNA genes and gene regulatory sequences.

• Telomeres-ends of DNA with protective role (prevents shortening of DNA),

• Non-coding RNA genes-e.g. genes for tRNA,

• Gene regulatory sequences such as promoter, enhancers and silencers.

Assume that you have 1 mL of a solution of amylase (an enzyme) at a concentration of 15 mg protein/mL. Calculate the volume of d
lidiya [134]

Answer:

42,5 mL

Explanation:

We need to use the serial dilution formula beacuse we start with a stock concentrate solution and we need to prepare a new less concentrated one.

DF=\frac{Vi}{Vf}

<u>DF in the dilution factor, Vi is the initial volume and Vf is the final volume.</u>

The first step is to have the same measurment unit so we need to convert 345 µg to mg.

we know that 1 µg equals 0,001 g, hence:

345 µg = 0,345 mg

now the final volume is 0,345 mg  protein/ mL and the inital volume is 15mg protein/mL, both of them are in the same unit so we can use the formula

DF= \frac{15mg protein/mL}{0.345mg protein/mL}

DF= 43,5 mg protein/ mL

Now since the question said that we already have 1.0mL of the amylase stock solution we need to subtract that 1.0mL to the 43,5 mg protein/mL

43,5mL-1,0mL = 42,5 mL

So, we need 42,5 mL of diluting buffer if we want a final concentration of 345 µg protein/mL (0.345 mg protein/mL)

Discuss the significance of family in the life of the adult​
blondinia [14]

Explanation:

Family is important because it provides love, support and a framework of values to each of its members. Family members teach each other, serve one another and share life's joys and sorrows. Families provide a setting for personal growth. Family is the single most important influence in a child's life.

How does the human heart level of organization relate to cells? To organ systems
ANEK [815]
It is hard to understand this question but ill give you my best answer. The hearts level of organisation to cells is immense, the heart pumps blood to every cell in the body (so they can respire) through a system of Arteries, veins and capillaries. The blood is pushed by the force of the heart through the arteries, the main (and largest) tubes for transportation to segments of the body further away from the heart. This goes into a smaller system of veins that brake off into a tree kind of pattern to reach every cell. These later brake off into the capillaries that have walls only 1 cell thick. This is how blood is transported to each cell that requires energy and oxygen to respire.

<h2>Cycads and Palm</h2>

Explanation:

The resemblance between cycads and palm trees is only superficial

  • Cycads are basically woody plants which have roots, a stem, leaves and reproductive structures known as cones
  • The main roots of cycads are thickened and fleshy and as they may have storage capacities they are often termed tuberous
  • Along with the fleshy stem they may have contractile properties which serve to regulate the level of the stem in the ground
  • Specialized, upright-growing, branched roots, known as coralloid roots, are also produced by all species of Cycads
  • The stems of cycads may be completely subterranean or emerge from the ground and be trunk-like
  • The leaves of most cycads are once-divided (pinnate) and often develop an attractive palm-like crown
  • Palm trees are a type of evergreen plant belonging to the Arecaceae family of plants
  • Palm trees have branch-less stems and large evergreen leaves
  • Generally, leaves of palm trees are either pinnate (feather-like leaves) or palmate (fan-like fronds)
  • Another way to identify the type of palm tree is by the trunk shape, some of the tallest species of palm trees have long slender single trunks and dwarf varieties have usually short fat palm trunks
  • Some smaller palm tree species may have clustered trunks with 3 or 4 short trunks growing together
  • There are also some dwarf palm trees that just have bushy pinnate fronds growing out the ground and don’t have any trunk at all
