Answer:
Explanation:
Taigas have few native plants besides conifers. The soil of the taiga has few nutrients. It can also freeze, making it difficult for many plants to take root. The larch is one of the only deciduous trees able to survive in the freezing northern taiga.
Question 2: Because the offspring most often will look like it's parents.
Answer:
The correct answer is d) genomic imprinting.
Explanation:
Genomic imprinting is a biological process by which specific modifications in the germ line that produce differences in the expression of the genetic material that is biochemically marked indicating its parental origin. The Prader-Willi syndrome is one of the best known and most studied examples in relation to pathologies produced by genomic imprinting. Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic disease that is fundamentally neurological. Its appearance is due to a deletion of a fragment of chromosome 15 derived from the father.
Answer:
A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.
Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.
<u>DNA recombination</u> is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.
The other options are not correct because:
- <u><em>Mutant or mutated DNA</em></u><em> is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence
</em>
- <u><em>Hybrid DNA</em></u><em> is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used.
</em>
- <u><em>Polyploid</em></u><em> refers to cells containing the genome of different species.</em>
Answer:
Incorrect
Explanation:
In the bone modelling process, osteoblasts a responsible for bone formation and osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption. In the young adult during growth, the formation of bone exceeds the resorption of bone to maintain bone mass. Therefore,
As we get older, bone formation decreases due to reduction in osteoblastic activity and numbers and bone resorption increases as a result of sex hormone deprivation, this will result in decreased bone mass (osteoporosis). Therefore, osteoclastic activity would have to exceed osteoblastic activity in order or osteoporosis to develop
