Answer:

Vitamin C

Explanation:

Vitamin C is known as the ascorbic acid performs various functions in humans and is present as the constituent of the skin epidermis.

Vitamin C protects the skin from photodamage caused by the harmful UV radiations and helps in the synthesis of collagen, a type of connective tissue in the human body. Vitamin C is involved in the hydroxylation of collagen synthesis which is important for the support of the epidermis and extracellular stability.

The deficiency of Vitamin C causes scurvy characterized y the fragility of blood vessels and bleeding.

Thus, Vitamin C is the correct answer.

Why is the distribution of solar energy different?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The more focused the rays are, the more energy an area receives, and the warmer it is. The difference in solar energy received at different latitudes drives atmospheric circulation. Places that get more solar energy have more heat. Places that get less solar energy have less heat. :)

d)...CAC GGC GGC GGC GGC GGC ATC GC...

Explanation:

Trinucleotide repeat is a genetic mutation where a crack of three nucleotides is repeated, next to each other, so many times that it leaves the DNA molecule unstable.

This mutation is capable of causing errors in the reading of DNA, which results in disorders and syndromes in the affected organism.

The three strands of DNA shown above show this mutation.

Qué tipo de anomalía cromosómica es el síndrome de down y Cómo se manifiesta? ¿Qué tipo de anomalía cromosómica es el síndrome d
sashaice [31]

Answer:

El síndrome de Down es el resultado de un niño nacido con un cromosoma adicional agregado al número esperado de cromosomas (generalmente destinado a ser 46).

El síndrome de Angelman se produce cuando un niño nace con una mutación en el 15º cromosoma heredado de los padres.

Explanation:

En el síndrome de Down, se agrega un cromosoma adicional al complemento de cromosomas que un niño debe heredar de sus padres. Se supone que un niño tiene un complemento de 46 cromosomas (23 cada uno) de ambos padres. Una vez que hay un aumento en este número, se establece el síndrome de down. Es una condición cromosómica común. Puede manifestarse como una trisomía, causada por la no disyunción durante la división celular, lo que resulta en 3 copias del cromosoma 21 en lugar de 2 copias, mosaicismo, donde una mezcla de células se clasifican en 2 grupos que contienen un complemento completo de 46 cromosomas y el otro un el cromosoma adicional lo hace 47 y la translocación ocurre cuando un cromosoma 21 adicional o parte del 21 se une al cromosoma 14. Los niños generalmente tienen cabezas y orejas pequeñas, cuellos cortos, caras planas, etc.

En el síndrome de Angelman, el cerebro se ve afectado en gran medida, debido al efecto de la mutación en el sistema nervioso. La pérdida de la función en el 15º cromosoma es responsable del síndrome de Angelman, que resulta en la incapacidad del niño para hablar, mantener el equilibrio, moverse, un desarrollo deficiente tanto física como intelectualmente.
