Individuals with two copies of a certain loss-of-function PMM2 allele suffer from hypotonia (weak muscle tone), and about 20 per

cent of these individuals will die of multiple organ failure during their first year of life. The PMM2 gene codes for an enzyme that is involved in the process of _______, which adds sugars to proteins on certain amino acid R groups on proteins. The modification of target proteins by this process is necessary for these proteins to fulfill their functional roles.

Answer:

The answer to this question is that the enzyme responsible for this addition of sugars to proteins is involved in the process of Glycosylation.

Explanation:

As the enzyme is protein substances, they are always being coded for by gene located at the genetic loci of the producing organism. The illustration given in this question shows that the enzyme mentioned is responsible for the addition of sugars to proteins in the muscle so that these proteins can perform there a role for signaling, and ATP production. The process of addition of sugars to the proteins is called glycosylation of protein. The defect in the loss of this function in the enzyme leads to dystroglycan.

Point-source pollution comes from a specific location and is easy to trace. true or false ?
Tems11 [23]

Answer: True

A point source pollution is a single identifiable source of pollution of air, water ,noise and soil. The pollutants being responsible for pollution can be easily traced back to their origin. The pipe, drain, well, container and ditch can allow the tracing back of the source of pollution coming from the sewage drain, household waste, industrial waste and agricultural waste.

Therefore, Point-source pollution comes from a specific location and is easy to trace is true.

Why is it important to study the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift?
Dvinal [7]
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.

It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.

Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.

It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.

Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.

When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
