Answer: ENDOTOXIN

Explanation: Meningitis is a nervous system disorder that occurs when there is an infection and inflammation of the meninges,these meninges are the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord,they are the pia mater, dura mater,and the arachnoid mater.

This infection and inflammation of the meninges is causes by inversion of microorganism, bacteria precisely,when these bacteria that are gram negative invade the meninges,the cell wall of the bacteria dies off exposing the cellular contents, this exposure introduces a toxin known as LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE directly in to the meninges which disrupts the normal functioning of the meninges, infection further sets in and inflammation is triggered as well.

2. In the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as an electr
atroni [7]

Answer:

NAD+ act both as coenzyme as well as electron acceptor compound and get reduced to NADH by accepting electron.

Explanation:

NAD+ act as co enzyme of various biological catalyst such as malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase etc.

             NAD+ can act as co enzyme only in its oxidized form but not in its reduced form called NADH.

         Many reaction needs NAD+ to occur such as conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate to 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate, malate to oxaloacetate.

              That"s why NAD+/NADH ratio is kept very high because if this ratio bychance get  low then it will hamper the normal redox potential of NAD+/NADH.As a result many biochemical reaction will not take place.

Which of the following statements describes the central dogma of molecular biology?
BARSIC [14]
<span>Q1. The answer is A.Biological information in a cell passes from DNAto RNA to proteins. The biological information is the part of DNA. During transcription, DNA is transcribed into RNA which now serves as a template for the synthesis of proteins. Thus, the central dogma of molecular biology describes how biological information in a cell passes from DNA to RNA to proteins.
     
Q2. The answer is D. 46. In a human diploid somatic cell (2n), there are 23 chromosomes present in two copies - 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. So, in a normal human karyotype there will be in total 46 chromosomes (23 pairs in 2 copies: 23 × 2 = 46).
   
Q3. The answer is A. inbreeding. Inbreeding is a breed from closely related organisms. Inbreeding causes a decrease of genetic variation by increasing homozygosity. This way, it can cause the genetic defect by bringing two recessive alleles together.</span>
