Pneumonia is a leading cause of death.

Answer:

The correct answer is pneumonia.

Explanation:

The elderly suffering from pneumonia makes them susceptible to various other issues. Due to its rapid occurrence and tendency to disperse to other sections of the body, pneumonia can be lethal. Even a mild case of pneumonia results in an extreme blow to the immune system that can cause an underlying condition like a heart condition into a life-threatening problem.  

As older individuals generally possess these additional issues, any kind of pneumonia can possess dangerous consequences.

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends

How are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different from each other?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where offspring comes from a single parent.

B is incorrect because asexual reproduction requires only one individual, while sexual reproduction requires two.

C is incorrect because mutation rates are not lower in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction.

D is incorrect because lots of single-celled organisms, like bacteria, reproduce asexually.
