Answer: Option B. 28 days

Explanation:

The moon orbits the Earth in about 28 days.

Moon also takes 28 days to rotate once on its own, that is why it seems still in it's position.  

The moon rotates around the Earth in an elliptical orbit. The moon rotates in slower rate when it is closest to earth and rotates in faster rate when far from earth. The side of moon facing earth surface is called the near side. During new moon phase, when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, the back side of the moon gets hide by daylight.

The moon changes its shape during rotation of earth as per the lunar theory. It involves several phases in the given sequence First Quarter following Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon and Waxing Crescent and repeats.

Hence, the correct option is B. 28 days.

A template strand of DNA contains nucleotides in the following proportions: 14% adenine
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The proportions of  nucleotides in the newly formed complimentary strand will be:

14% Thymine (T), 33% Adenine (A), 21% Guanine (G), 32% Cytosine (C).

Explanation:

In a double stranded DNA, the nucleotides of one strand binds with nucleotides of another strand through hydrogen bonds.

Adenine binds with thymine by two hydrogen bonds (A=T) and guanine binds with cytosine by three hydrogen bonds (G≡C).

So, the complimentary strand must have

  • thymine equal to the amount of adenine in template strand.
  • adenine equal to the amount of thymine in template strand.
  • guanine equal to the amount of cytosine in template strand.
  • cytosine equal to the amount of guanine in template strand.

Brown eyes is dominant to light eyes. Mr. O'Ryan has blue (light) eyes. Mrs. O'Ryan is heterozygous for brown eyes. What are the
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Brown eyes = 0.5

Blue eyes = 0.5

Explanation:

Given, B ( brown eyes ) is dominant over b ( blue/light eyes ). So,

BB = Brown

Bb = Brown

bb = blue/light

Mr. O'Ryan = blue eyes = bb

Mrs. O'Ryan = heterozygous brown eyes = Bb

Their children: Bb X bb :

      B        b

b    Bb     bb

b    Bb     bb

Half of the children will have Bb genotype and brown eyes, other half will have bb genotype and blue eyes. Hence, Kellan O'Ryan has 0.5 probability of blue eyes and 0.5 probability of brown eyes.

The p53 gene is important to the cell cycle in G1 and G2, and cancer. What happens to the cell cycle when a mutation occurs in t
german

Answer:

PFFT this might help? sorry if not mate

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoint controls play a major role in preventing the development of cancer [see Sherr, 1994, for a more detailed discussion]. Major checkpoints occur at the G1 to S phase transition and at the G2 to M phase transitions. Cancer is a genetic disease that arises from defects in growth-promoting oncogenes and growth-suppressing tumor suppressor genes. The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a role in both the G1/S phase and G2/M phase checkpoints. The mechanism for this activity at the G1/S phase checkpoint is well understood, but its mechanism of action at the G2/M phase checkpoint remains to be elucidated. The p53 protein is thought to prevent chromosomal replication specifically during the cell cycle if DNA damage is present. In addition, p53 can induce a type of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, under certain circumstances. The general goal of p53 appears to be the prevention of cell propagation if mutations are present. The p53 protein acts as a transcription factor by binding to certain specific genes and regulating their expression. One of these, WAF1 or Cip1, is activated by p53 and is an essential downstream mediator of p53-dependent G1/S phase checkpoint control. The function of p53 can be suppressed by another gene, MDM2, which is overexpressed in certain tumorigenic mouse cells and binds to p53 protein, thus inhibiting its transcriptional activation function. Other cellular proteins have been found to bind to p53, but the significance of the associations is not completely understood in all cases. The large number of human cancers in which the p53 gene is altered makes this gene a good candidate for cancer screening approaches.
