How do somatic and inherited mutations differ?

Biology
1 answer:
telo118 [61]3 years ago
7 0

The right option is; C. Inherited mutations exist in all cells in the body and somatic mutations only exist in the cell type that mutated.

Inherited mutations are gene mutations that exist in almost every cell in the body throughout an individual’s life. Inherited mutations are inherited from a parent and can also be transmitted. They are also called germline mutations because they exist in the parent’s egg or sperm cells (gametes).

Somatic mutations are gene mutations that exist in only certain cell types that are mutated, not in every cell in the body and it take place at some time during an individual’s life. Somatic mutations are not inherited and cannot be passed. They are caused due to environmental factors (such as cigarette smoke or ultraviolet (UV) radiation) or due to error during DNA replication.

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

<em>The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with </em><em>DNase </em><em>and </em><em>protease</em><em> respectively.</em>

<u>The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.</u>

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) produced nearly simultaneously by different synapses on the same postsynaptic neuron
lakkis [162]

Answer: summation

Explanation:

The process which determine if an action potential will be generated or not depends on the combined effects of the signal inputs from multiple sources of  synapse or from the repeated signals from the same synapse.  

If the input signals reach the threshold voltage, action potential will be generated. (all –or –none principle).Therefore, this  process is a determinant of  the likelihood of action potential generation  and it is called summation.

Summation is the ability to integrate multiple PSPs at multiple synapses.it is  the process that determine if an action potential will be generated by combined effects of inhibitory or excitatory  signals.

Based on the pathways and voulme of applied stimuli in the presynaptic neuron;

The signals can be temporal summation ( consecutive  signals  produced from the same  synapse)where action potential of high frequency in the PSN generated action potential in the post synaptic neuron, which summate with one another. Or Spatial where signals inputs are from multiple presynaptic cells.

SUNLIGHT
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.

"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.

These statements are true, however:

SUNLIGHT

CARBON DIOXIDE

WATER

MINERALS

OXYGEN

PLANT SUGARS

Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.

Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).

Answer:

3. formation of mRNA in the nucleus

6. secretion of hormone  by tissue

4. initiation of DNA  replication because  of a signal given  by the hormone

2. synthesis of protein  molecule by mRNA  and tRNA

1. secretion of protein  by the cell

5. binding of the  hormone molecule  with its receptor  of the cell

Explanation:

The tissue in the top left releases a hormone. For example, a steroid hormone such as estrogen, which can impact gene expression at the level of transcription. This hormone then travels to a different cell to carry out its function. The hormone is able to enter the cell and binds receptors which recognise it. In this case, these receptors are present in the nuclear envelope. When the hormone has bound the receptor, it initiates a signalling cascade that the cell responds to.

In this case, the effect of the signal from the hormone is to initiate DNA replication. This is a common effect of hormones such as growth factors that signal the cells to proliferate.

The initiation of the signalling can  also affect how genes are expressed. In this case, an mRNA is produced in the nucleus, which is created as a result of transcription. This mRNA molecule then moves to the cytoplasm, where it becomes translated into a polypeptide sequence at a ribosome, with the help from transfer RNAs (tRNAs).

This polypeptide forms a mature protein by progressive folding and potential modifications, and is released by the cell to perform its functions.
