After reading the paragraphs below, answer the questions that follow. Bloom syndrome is a rare disease characterized by growth d

eficiencies, genomic instability, and the early development of cancers. The BLM gene encodes the BLM protein, which when mutated may result in Bloom syndrome. To detect whether or not a cell has a specific region of a gene, researchers add radioactively labeled DNA molecules that can bind to their complementary DNA sequences. To detect a mutant version of the BLM gene, researchers added the radioactive DNA molecule 5' - GCTAGCTAAGCCCA - 3' to cells.
What DNA sequence were the researchers trying to detect?

3 - GCTAGCTAAGCCCA - 5'

5 - GCTAGCTAAGCCCA - 3'

5 - CGATCGATTCGGGT - 3'

3 - CGATCGATTCGGGT - 5'

Bloom syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth deficiency, immunodeficiency, genomic instability, and the early development of cancers of many types. BLM, the protein encoded by BLM, the gene mutated in BS, is localized in nuclear foci and absent from BS cells. BLM encodes a DNA helicase, and proteins from three missense alleles lack displacement activity. BLM transfected into BS cells reduces the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges and restores BLM in the nucleus. Missense alleles fail to reduce the sister chromatid exchanges in transfected BS cells or restore the normal nuclear pattern. BLM complements a phenotype of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae sgs1 top3 strain, and the missense alleles do not. This work demonstrates the importance of the enzymatic activity of BLM for its function and nuclear localization pattern.

Transpiration is the evaporation process used by plants for cooling and to regulate the amount of water within its body. Factors
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Transpiration is the process of water movement in the plant in which water is released from the leaves to the environment in the form of vapours.

The transpiration is important to the plant as:

1. Cooling Effect: Transpiration help lower down the temperature of the plant by evaporating water.

2. The ascent of Sap: leads to the uptake of water in the plant.

3.  Removal of Excess Water: removes extra water from the plant.

4. Maintain turgidity: helps maintain turgidity which leads to maintains shape and structure.

5. Photosynthesis: supplies water for the photosynthesis.

The process also has disadvantages to the plants as:

1.  Wilting: the excess loss of water causes wilting of leaves during noon.

2. Reduced Yield: the wilting reduces the formation of fruits, flowers and seeds.

3. Wastage of Energy: Loss of water leads to the waste of energy which is used in the conduction of water and absorption.

The climate change has changed the ability of the plants to undergo transpiration and plants has adapted to maintain equilibrium by producing hair, thorns, thick cuticle, sunken stomata, cladodes and phylloclades.

How it’s possible to compress a given amount of air into a smaller space?
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A gas is one of the three states of matter on earth and in the universe.

Gases are easily compressible and they can fit into just any container available.

This is because of their fascinating properties.

  • The particles of gases are very far apart and are held together by weak attractive forces unlike liquids and solids.
  • Gases are always in constant motion and their particles are random.
  • They do not have a fixed shape and structure.
  • When pressure is applied on them, they are easily compressed and fit into any container they are placed.
