On a field expedition to Yellowstone National Park, you collected water samples from some of the hot springs in the hope of disc

overing new species of thermophilic bacterium. One such bacterium grew in the laboratory and after sequencing the entire genome of this new bacterium by the whole-genome shotgun approach, you use a computer program to search for start/stop signals for translation and homology searches based on similarity to cDNAs in the database. You predict approximately 20,000 genes. Is this an accurate representation of the total number of genes in the organism? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, it is not correct.

Explanation:

No, this is not an adequate representation for the total number of genes in the studied organism. The reason is because we are looking for start/stop signals to make comparisons with a database, and only genes that encode proteins carry start/stop signals; therefore, the 20,000 genes that were predicted correspond only to genes that encode proteins, leaving aside others that do not, so the estimate obtained is not correct.

Answer:

Suppression of Abl reduces the severity of abnormal axonal guidance in PTP mutants

Explanation:

Axon guidance is a neural development subfield relating to the mechanism by which neurons send out axons to meet their right targets.

ABL gene is a protooncogene that encodes a protein tyrosine kinase involved in a variety of cellular processes. PTPs are known to signal a number of cellular processes, including cell development, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation.

Suppression of Abl reduces the severity of abnormal axonal guidance in PTP mutants.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

1Answer:

The correct answer is - D. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.
