If a mutation results in an organism with new characteristics, what might eventually be formed?

Temka [501]

If a mutation results in an organism with new characteristics then eventually a new species will be formed if more such mutations will continue to accumulate in the individual. Mutations result into the accumulation of variations in an individual and when such variations keep on accumulating in a particular organism consistently it leads to formation of a new species or we can say that evolution has occured.

Describe the process of skeletal muscle contraction by assembling the following 10 events in the proper order in paragraph form.

balu736 [363]

5) muscle fiber is stimulated at the neuromuscular junction triggering an action potential

7) APs travel down the T-tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Released acetylcholine (due to action potential within motor neuron) from the motor neuron initiates depolarisation within the sarcolemma, which is spread through the muscle fibre via T tubules.

8) in response to an AP, calcium ions are released into the cytosol/space around the myofibrils

Depolarisation causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions necessary for the contraction

3) calcium ions bind to the T and T system

1) T and T system undergoes a conformational change, exposing the myosin binding sites on actin

6) myosin head/cross-bridges bind to actin

The binding sites for the myosin heads located on actin, are covered by a blocking complex (troponin and tropomyosin) that can be unblocked by the calcium binding

2) myosin heads/cross bridges bind to actin and flex, shortening the sacromere

4) actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sacromere, shortening the muscle fiber

As the individual sarcomeres become shorten the muscle fibres as a whole contracts

10) myosin head continues to attach, flex, release, extend, and reattach as long as calcium ions are present

9) calcium ions actively transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Relaxation of a muscle fiber occurs when a Ca ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum .

huntington disease is a dominant disease caused by expansion of the trinucleotide repeat region of the htt gene that results in

Travka [436]

By haphazardly introducing a transgene harboring a disease-causing mutant variant of the HTT gene into the genome of a mouse or primate, it is possible to produce an animal model with the majority of the symptoms of this condition. Here option B is the correct answer.

Huntington's disease is an uncommon, genetic condition that results in the gradual degeneration of brain nerve cells. Huntington's illness, which frequently results in mobility, cognitive, and psychological problems, has a substantial impact on a person's functional capacities.

A DNA region known as a CAG trinucleotide repeat is involved in the HTT mutation that causes Huntington's disease. Three DNA-building building pieces that are repeated several times in a row make up this region.

Complete question:

Huntington's disease is a dominant disease caused by the expansion of the trinucleotide repeat region of the Htt gene that results in the production of a Huntingtin protein with an expanded number of glutamines. An animal model with most features of this syndrome could be created by

A - knocking in a wild-type copy of the Htt gene to a mouse or primate genome.

B - randomly inserting a transgene containing a wild-type allele of the Htt gene to a mouse or primate genome.

C - randomly inserting a transgene containing a disease-causing mutant allele of the Htt gene into a mouse or primate genome

D - knocking out one copy of the wild-type Htt gene from a mouse or primate genome.

E - knocking out both copies of the wild-type Htt gene from a mouse or primate genome.

What is a gene? Can someone tell me what is Euchromatin? Is Euchromatin also called a Gene? What's the difference between these

julsineya [31]

Answer:

In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA.

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin that is enriched in genes, and is often under active transcription. Euchromatin comprises the most active portion of the genome within the cell nucleus. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic.

The genes present in heterochromatin are usually inactive. The genes present in euchromatin are either already active or will be active during growth. Heterochromatin is transcriptionally-inactive. Euchromatin is transcriptionally. (This one here is the difference)
