The right answer is A. It requires more coal mining.

In order to manufacture synthetic gasoline, the Fischer-Tropsch process involves the catalysis of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to convert them to hydrocarbon. In this chemical process, the most common catalysts are iron, cobalt or ruthenium, as well as nickel, but the latter will tend to form methane CH4 (this is called methanation). The interest of conversion is to produce synthetic crude oil from coal or gas. This process has a very good yield but requires very heavy investments, which makes it economically vulnerable to downward fluctuations in the price of oil.

Even though cancer genomes are overall hypomethylated, explain why some genes are hypermethylated in cancer cells. Drag the term
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Hypermethylation of___ promoters will lead to reduced expression of the correspondent genes. Some genes such as Cell Cycle stop genes _and__DNA repair genes_need to be expressed. When they__are not expressed_, this can lead to cancer.

Explanation:

Oncogenes are genes that may trigger cancer, where they are generally overexpressed (i.e., expressed at high levels). Although there are well-documented exceptions to this rule, DNA methylation generally represses gene expression by preventing the binding of transcription factors to promoters. It is known that the hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes including, for example, cell cycle stop genes and DNA repair genes, may lead to cancer. Similarly, hypomethylation of oncogenes such as, for example, Cyclin D1 (a cyclin-dependent kinase involved in cell cycle progression), may also contribute to carcinogenesis.

How does crossing over add to the genetic diversity of sexually reproducing organisms?
bulgar [2K]
Rossover is the first way that genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Crossover takes place in sexual reproduction. Chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other. When they break at the same place (locus) in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination. That is the normal way for crossover to occur. Genetic recombination ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity is created.<span>
