Answer:

A. inheritance and reproduction

Explanation:

These two terms are interrelated as the act of one (reproduction) gives rise to the other (inheritance). The process whereby offsprings are produced using gametes (sexual reproduction) or without gametes (asexual reproduction) from a an organism called the parent is called REPRODUCTION. Reproduction is necessary to ensure the survival of a particular species.

During reproduction, the genetic material (DNA) in form of chromosomes of an organism is passed down from parents to offsprings in a process called INHERITANCE or HEREDITY. The information needed for certain processes like growth, reproduction, survival and others are contained in the genetic material, and are transferred from the parents to their progenies.

In sexual reproduction, this biological information encoded in the genetic material is passed on via gametes produced by each parent (male and female) during meiosis.

What role does the MutL protein play in DNA repair? (5 POINTS) It performs a proofreading function, similar to DNA polymerase, a
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It recognizes and binds to a pair of "mismatched" nucleotides, preventing their translation.

Explanation:

Mut L protein is involved in mismatch DNA repair. MutL protein is complexed with MutS protein and the MutL-MutS complex recognizes all the mismatched base pairs present in the newly formed DNA strand. The complex can not recognize the "C-C" pairs. MutH protein joins the complex.

The MutH protein also has a site-specific endonuclease activity and cleaves the unmethylated DNA strand towards the 5' end of the guanine base in the GATC sequence to mark the strand for DNA repair. In this way, MutL protein, along with MutS and MutH proteins mark the mismatched DNA bases for repair so that they are not translated into a faulty protein.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

1. Hematoma is an open injury that occurs whenever a large blood vessel is damaged and bleeds rapidly. False

2. You should never remove an avulsion skin flap, regardless of its size. True

3. When possible, ALS providers should administer IV fluid within 3 minutes after the crushing object is lifted off the body. False

Explanation:

1. It is false because, although is true that a hematoma occurs when you have a large blood vessel damaged, i t is a closed injury, not an open one.

2. It is true, you should never remove an avulsion skin flap, regardless of its size. The avulsion may have a serious infection.

3. It is false  because ALS providers should administer IV fluid before the crushing object is lifted off the body.
