Answer:
B
Explanation:
RNAi is a cellular mechanism for post-transcriptional gene silencing. After transcription of a gene into mRNA, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) can target the mRNA to form dsRNA. This mRNA then becomes a target of ribonucleases such as the Dicer that break it apart. These mRNA, therefore, do not reach the cytoplasm for translation by ribosomes. This mechanism is hence harnessed and manipulated by scientists to study genes by silencing them.
Answer:
C. local endemios
Explanation:
The most easily measurable distribution pattern in species can be considered the one at the local endemios. The reason why the local endemios are the easiest for measuring the distribution is because they live in small area, and only in that particular area, nowhere else in the world. This makes it very easy for measuring their distribution, as the area in which they live is very limited, has clearly defined natural borders, and all of the population is located in there.
True. The crust of the Earth has some permanent magnetization, and the Earth's core generates its own magnetic field, sustaining the main part of the field we measure at the surface. So we could say that the Earth is, therefore, a "magnet."
Answer:
B. locus ceruleus.
Explanation:
A nucleus present in the pons of brainstem responsible or involved in physiological responses to panic and stress is known as locus ceruleus.
Basically, locus ceruleus is responsible for the primary production of norepinephrine in the brain. The nucleus transfers the norepinephrine to whole cerebral cortex along with various other structures like amygdala, cerebellum, hippocampus, and spinal cord.
So, when there is a panic disorder due to norepinephrine dysregulation at the brainstem area which will be definitely locus ceruleus.
Answer:
c) microevolution
Explanation:
Microevolution is the change in allelic frequencies within a population over time.
If natural selection favored birds with beaks and small bodies, that means that the frequency of that phenotype (beak and small body) increased while the frequency of birds with body and large beaks decreased.
In this example we see that in the Darwin's finches population, the allelic frequencies - reflected in the phenotype - changed over time as a consequence of the drought.
