The answer to this question would be phantom pain 

An amputated leg sometimes still giving a fell of leg or pain even though the leg wasn't there anymore. That happened because the nerve fiber that carries the stimulus from that area is still alive. Something might induce the remnant of the nerve to send a signal of pain but the brain interprets the location to be in the removed limb.

If you wrote a brief essay discussing the impact of recombinant DNA technology on genetics as we perceive the discipline today,
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct applications are A, B, C, F, G and H.

Explanation:

The technology named Recombinant DNA Technology in the example is a technology which involves the combining process of the DNA segments. This segment then can be inserted into another living cell to replicate in there by itself or it can be added or integrated to a chromosome and then put into the cell for replication. Given this ability to manipulate and replicate these modified DNA molecules, this technology can lead to;

  • A: can be used to give the plants an advantage over certain diseases or bugs that prevent their growth.
  • B: can be used to modify/isolate and understand the functions of genes.
  • C: can be used to swap and modify genes in the human body, giving them different abilities.
  • F: can be used to match the DNA samples taken from the crime scenes by trying different combinations and possibilities.
  • G: can be used in pharmaceutical industry, for example, making the bacterias produce insulin hormones by modifying their DNA and using this for the people with diabetes.
  • H: can be used in gene therapy which is a process where a person's DNA is altered and put back in their body to help them produce certain enzymes/hormones/proteins thus curing specific diseases.

In a small, isolated population of piranhas, one individual is born with a synonymous mutation in a gene that codes for the beta
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Genetic Drift.

Explanation:

  • In any population of any species having two or more alleles encoding for different genes, the frequency of occurrence of each allele among the individuals of a population can vary.
  • The frequency of one allele may be far more or far less than the frequency of other alleles.
  • The frequency of any particular allele is dependent on factors like random mating among individuals as well as natural selection, that tends to increase the frequency of those alleles which provide a survival advantage to the individual in a given environment.
  • Genetic drift can be defined as a phenomenon due to which the frequency of an allele encoding for a particular gene undergoes drastic change (increase or decrease) in a population due to random mating as well as natural selection.
  • In the given statement, one individual of an isolated population of piranhas underwent synonymous mutation in the beta-globin encoding gene.
  • A synonymous mutation can be defined as such a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene that does not affect the sequence, structure or function of the protein encoded by it.
  • The increase in the frequency of the mutated form of the beta-globin gene after five generations to 5% indicates that due to the impact of random mating or natural selection or both, this has happened.

Explanation:

The non-specific immune system is the system that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and protects you, regardless of the organism you encounter. This system is composed of the general defenses of the organism that work continuously, creating barriers that protect the body from the entry of any pathogen or foreign substance. This system is composed of T cells, which are true killers of pathogens and which guarantee efficient and complete safety.
