Metagenomics (check all that apply): Group of answer choices Can leverage Next Generation Sequencing technology to identify and
ikadub [295]

Answer:

- Can leverage Next Generation Sequencing technology to identify and characterize organisms

- Has resources to support analysis at the DOE-JGI site.  

- Can identify microbiologic organisms without traditional isolation and culturing of individual organisms.

Explanation:

Metagenomics can be defined as the study of whole genomes of biological communities recovered from environmental samples. This genomic field has enabled the discovery of new species (microorganisms) and their effects on the environment. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies allow to obtain huge amounts of genomic data, which has been a limitation in genomics and metagenomics. Metagenomic NGS (mNGS) is a technique used for sequencing nucleic acids present in a biological sample containing mixed populations of microorganisms. Finally, the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) is a referent in metagenomic analysis, especially in genome assembly data obtained from microbial communities. This Science User Facility has developed a series of bioinformatics tools and databases in order to analyze metagenomic information.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, cerebellum.

Explanation:

Alcohol acts as a CNS depressant. When more amount of alcohol is taken and the levels of alcohol rise within the body, some sections of the brain get influenced and a reduction in the functioning is witnessed in that particular part.  

The region of the brain accountable for coordinating movement and also some kinds of learning seems to be sensitive specifically to the consumption of alcohol. Thus, cerebellum is the part of the brain, which gets most affected due to the consumption of alcohol. Therefore, test is performed to witness the balance of an individual, as cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for appropriate posture and balance.
