Answer:

Option C, Lungs

Explanation:

When silica dust is inhaled it causes silicosis which in severe cases is disabling. When Silica enters the lungs , scar tissues are formed which lead to difficulty in taking oxygen. This problem usually arises when crystalline silica is inhaled continuously for a period of 15 to 20 years. Its symptoms are not visible and thus can only be determined through chest X-Ray. However, after prolonged exposure lung dysfunctions causes breathing problem, fatigue, chest pain or  respiratory failure

Hence, option C is correct

how do the strategically placed covalent and hydrogen bonds present in dna facilitate the functioning of the molecule
Sergio [31]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • DNA is a double stranded molecule. Covalent and hydrogen bonds pray important roles in the functioning of DNA molecules.
  • <em><u>Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the nucleotide bases, sugars, and phosphate groups occurring both within each component and between components.</u></em>
  • <em><u> Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.</u></em>
  • Hydrogen bonds helps the complementary base pairs in DNA; guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine to connect to one another. The hydrogen bonds between these complementary pairs helps keep the two strands of DNA helix together.

Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - duplication.

Explanation:

CMT or Charcot-Marie- Tooth is an inherited disease of muscular wasting that affects the arms and legs of an individual due to nerve damage mostly peripheral nerves that leads to smaller and weak muscles. This inherited disease is found to be due to the mutation that takes place on chromosome 17.

The mutation is duplication type due to fact that the short arm of chromosome number 17 takes place and copy the new copy of p-arm or short arm.
