Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species:
First sequence: ABCDEF
Second sequence: ABFEDC
Third sequence: FEDABC
Fourth sequence: ADEFBC

Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)?

Answer:

The correct answer is "Fist sequence; Fourth sequence; Second sequence; Third sequence".

Explanation:

Inversion of DNA is a process that often occurs during evolution of chromosomes. It occurs when the breakage of a chromosome in two places, results in the reinsertion of a DNA but in a reversed fashion. The evolutionary order of predecessors of inversion of DNA can be established by looking on the number of nucleotides that are different in the sequences of DNA. In this case, the first sequence is the ancestor and it haves the sequence "ABCDEF". The second in the evolutionary order is the fourth sequence since it originates from the first sequence only by changing the "BC" nucleotides to the end of the sequence "ADEFBC". The third in the evolutionary order is the second sequence since it still starts in AB, but has the other four nucleotides different: "ABFEDC". The last in the evolutionary order is the third sequence, which is completely different and reversed respect to the first sequence: "FEDABC".

How does the urinary system control the water in the body
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The kidneys can regulate water levels in the body; they conserve water if youare dehydrated, and they can makeurine more dilute to expel excesswater if necessary. Water is lost through the skin through evaporation from the skin surface without overt sweating and from air expelled from the lungs.

What description best explains why viruses can become more pathogenic to host that were not affected by the virus before?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

New cells are naive to the infectious cells who attack it or they are not well prepared to deal with the different scenarios. But, the cells who are attacked before has the set or sequence of the viral or bacterial genome strand been identified by them, which leads to more safety or protection from these foreign bodies.

Explanation:

  • Mechanism To attack a host cell:

The viruses and other infectious material enters and attacks the host cell, by breaching its membrane wall and installing or leaving a gene of its own inside the cell. Which then combines with the genome of the cell and it goes through the process of replication, translation etc,along with the host cell machinery. Which then spreads the specific gene strand more in the environment

  • <u>Camouflage obtained by the infectious cell to hide it self:</u>

After the genome enters the host cell at first it does not recognizes the strands or foreign cells, as they cover there body with a camouflage sort of membrane and they look more like the body cells.

  • <u>Reactions by the host cell and as a whole the body:</u>

The organisms detects the genome of the infections cells or strand, as they store the data about it in its server or database. As if the next time they were under attack then precautions will be there by the host cell to deal with it.

As for the cell who are never attacked before will be less safe to deal with these foreign bodies.

ladessa [460]

The right options are; makes food for all organisms, adds oxygen to the atmosphere, is a source of medicines and fibers, is a source of building materials and it provides animal habitat.

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and some other autotrophs use light energy in chloroplasts to generate carbohydrates (food) from carbon dioxide and water while oxygen is being released as a by-product. Photosynthesis is essential to all living organisms on earth because it is the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis provides animal habitat, it provides food for all organisms (directly for plants and indirectly for animals). Plants and trees produce their foods through photosynthesis and are used as medicines and fibers, and as building materials.

Marina86 [1]

For most athletes, the period in their yearly training cycle during which it is recommended to begin calorie restriction so as to lose significant amounts of stored body fat is the off-season or early in the preseason. Restriction of energy intake late in the preseason when there is rigorous training or during season when there is competition may impede training, recovery, or performance.
