The correct answer is: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) or XXY syndrome.

This syndrome usually occurs randomly and it may come in different forms:

• When there is an extra X chromosome in each cell

• When there is an extra X chromosome in some cells (mosaic Klinefelter)

• When there is more than one extra X chromosome.

Men with this syndrome often don’t have visible symptoms but can also lead to infertility. On the other hand, some of them have symptoms such as weaker muscles, greater height, less body hair, breast growth…

A mutation that inhibits Ras from hydrolyzing GTP will
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e. "result in permanent activation of Ras".

Explanation:

Ras function is regulated by the GTP/GDP cycling rate, in a way that Ras is inhibited by the substrate GDP. Once Ras hydrolyzes GTP, GDP is produced and Ras is inhibited by GDP. A mutation that inhibits Ras from hydrolyzing GTP, would lock Ras in a permanently activated state because no GDP would be produced and there will be no substrate to inhibit Ras.

C3 fracture resulting in loss of sensation and inability to move arms and legs is known as what type of paralysis?
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is quadriplegia.

Explanation:

The paralysis of both the legs and arms has been known as quadriplegia. The main reason for quadriplegia is the injury to the spinal cord, however, other conditions like strokes and cerebral palsy can also result in similar paralysis. The degree of damage depends upon the part of the spinal cord injured and the amount of destruction done.  

With the injury to the spinal cord, the brain loses the tendency to communicate with it and so the movement and sensation get impaired. Quadriplegia takes place when the region of the neck of the spinal cord gets injured like a C3 fracture. An extreme spinal cord injury may obstruct the process of breathing and hampers the movement of limbs.  

An individual with complete quadriplegia loses the tendency to move any part of the body underneath the neck, even some are not able to move their neck.

The physical feautre of the land surface whether it is sloping,rolling,flat or level is called
timurjin [86]
A landform is a feature on the Earth's surface that is part of the terrain. Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills.

A plain is nothing but a low-lying relatively flat land surface with very gentle slope and minimum local relief. About 55% of the earth's land surface is occupied by plains. Most of the plain have been formed by deposition of sediments brought down by rivers.

Plateaus are elevated flatlands. In other words, it is flat land which is standing high above the surrounding area. Furthermore, they may have one or more sides with steep slopes. Also, depending upon the plateau, their height varies from a few hundred meters to several thousand meters.
