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.

The various hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary that regulate the secretion of hormones from other endocrine organs are
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b. tropins

Explanation:

The anterior pituitary gland secretes many hormones. Some of these hormones regulate the secretion of hormones from other endocrine glands. These hormones are called tropins. For example, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a tropin from anterior pituitary that makes the thyroid gland to release its hormones. Adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) and gonadotropins from anterior pituitary gland target the adrenal cortex and gonads respectively.

How do you think the density of ice affects the survival of water dwelling organisms in environments where temperatures fall bel
aleksley [76]

Water at 4 degrees centigrade has the highest density of all other water temperatures. This is why ice (whose temperature is below 0 degrees) floats on very cold water. This phenomenon is significant in the Artic and Antarctic where ice shelves float on cold ocean waters in the poles. Animals that live in these regions (such as seals and polar bears) use these ice shelves as hunting platforms.

What does it mean if there are few differences in the amino acid sequence
seraphim [82]

The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by DNA. In a protein that is present in all species, the amino acid sequence will be different. Once a protein has been chosen, the amino acid sequence of that protein in different species are compared. More similarities, or fewer differences, indicate that two species are closely related. (sorry if im wrong!)
