Answer: They exists in all the cells of the body.

Explanation:

There are basically two different types of cells in the body one is somatic cell and other is germ cells.

The germs cells are the cells found in the eggs and sperms that is transferred to the offspring.

The somatic cells can be defined as the cells which is found in the all the cells of the body but it is not transferred from one generation to another.

What would be the result of a mutation that deactivates the regulatory gene of a repressible operon in an escherichia coli cell?

leonid [27]

The correct answer is: B) continuous transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator

A regulatory gene is gene that encodes for a protein, such as a repressor (or activators) that controls the transcription of another gene or group of genes.

The regulatory gene of a repressible operon encodes for the repressor that inhibits gene transcription. So, when that repressor isn’t active, transcription occurs continuously.

Using the terms DNA, trait, code, pattern, gene, describe why each organism is unique

Rom4ik [11]

Each organism is unique because of genetic variation. Each set of genes we inherit from our parents codes for a specific trait. And our DNA is a blueprint for these traits. Not everybody contains the same genes and that is why we are all so beautifully unique.

3. What did scientists find in the burial site? The scientist found nine skeletons.

What did they not find?They did not find two of them which was believe to be that of Princess Anastasia and her brother Prince Alexei

4. What did the mitochondrial DNA testing show? DNA testing showed that it certainly was Nicholas, Alexandra and the three children, these was discovered through the bones found in the grave

What do scientists believe happened to Anastasia?Scientist believed that Princess Anastasia along with her brother Prince Alexei were cremated aright after they were being killed

5. Why do you think it took so long for this mystery to be solved? it took so long for this mystery to be solved because the technology available can not be compare to DNA technology because modern technology and advancement had made it more better and convenient .

What factors played a role? DNA technology played a role

You have been growing some animal cells in a test tube. The cells grow for several days, then do not appear to grow as well. You

svetlana [45]

Answer:

D. There is no enough oxygen in the culture fluid

Explanation:

The cells in the test tube need to carryout one of the important metabolic processes of living organisms - respiration. The process involves the breakdown of glucose to generate energy for other metabolic processes in the cell.

Respiration can be carried out in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) or in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic). Human cells are primarily aerobic but can carryout respiration anaerobically in the presence of inadequate oxygen.

For aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon-dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP:

$C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + ATP$

In the absence of oxygen, the glucose becomes converted to lactic acid and a smaller amount of ATP is produced as compared to aerobic respiration.

Hence, lactic acid gradually builds up in the absence of oxygen due to anaerobic respiration.

The correct option is D.

A, B, C, D and E are pathogens of different diseases for human beings. The route of entry of pathogens in human body is differen

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Microorganisms which causes diseases is known as pathogen.

Explanation:

PATHOGEN -: Pathogens are agents that live in a host and are responsible for causing infections or diseases in that host, such as a human being. Microorganisms such as bacteria , viruses , fungi or protozoa, or other organisms such as parasites, worms and even contagious proteins such as prions, may be pathogens.

Viruses: Viruses are micro-organisms that are composed of nucleic acid and covered by a protein sheet. A lipid (fatty) outer layer is also present in some viruses. Enveloped viruses are called these. Non-enveloped viruses are considered those that do not have this lipid outer layer. Only inside their host's living cells are viruses able to replicate. EXAMPLE -: Influenza (influenza A and B viruses) and the common cold (rhinovirus) are examples of infections caused by viruses.

Bacteria: These are microorganisms which have a nucleus containing DNA surrounded by a cell wall or membrane. Among bacteria, the composition of the cell wall differs. If they are able to access food and nutrients, they have a more complex structure than viruses and can multiply beyond the host. EXAMPLE -: Foodborne diseases can be caused by bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli, while Staphylococcus aureus can cause skin infections.

Fungi: Fungi are single-celled or multicelled species that can live outside a host. They consume food and nutrients created after digestive enzymes have been secreted into their atmosphere. example-:  The foot of the athlete (Trichophyton mentagrophytes) and yeast infections (Candida albicans) are examples of infections caused by fungi.

Prions: These are infectious agents made up entirely of proteins and capable of transferring to other prion proteins their infectious properties. EXAMPLE -: Extreme infectious diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) can be caused by prions.

Protozoa: Protozoa are single-celled organisms that display habits that are similar to animals, such as the ability to travel through water, and are capable of harvesting other microorganisms. They are able to live outside the human host, but when they enter the human host and spread, causing infections and diseases, they may also be parasitic in nature.  EXAMPLE -: Malaria and giardia include common infections

Yes , pathogen enter into the body directly -: Direct contact infections spread when, through direct physical contact with blood or body fluids, disease-causing microorganisms move from the infected person to the healthy person. Touching, kissing, sexual contact, contact with oral secretions, or contact with bodily lesions are examples of direct contact.
INCUBATION PERIOD OF A PATHOGEN -:The period of incubation is the interval between exposure to a pathogenic organism, a drug, or radiation, and when the first signs and symptoms are evident.
