Biology

Katarina [22]3 years ago

Answer:

C. They all use a cut and paste mechanism.

Explanation:

DNA transposons can go through a replicative or nonreplicative transposition.

The replicative transposition uses a "copy and paste" mechanism that consists of the introduction of a new copy of the transposable element in a new position, meanwhile <u>the old copy remains in the original position</u>. This determines an increase in the number of copies.

The nonreplicative transposition uses a "cut and paste" mechanism that consists of the cleavage of the transposable element from its position and its <u>insertion in a new position</u> without increasing the number of copies.

Retrotransposons, on the other side, move through RNA intermediates generated by the reverse transcriptase.

Gloria is experiencing pain in the upper right portion of her abdomen, has greasy diarrhea, and bleeds excessively when she mens
Volgvan
Bile

Based on the above symptoms, it can be inferred that Gloria lacks bile. Pain in the upper right portion of the abdomen usually corresponds to problems with the liver. The liver produces bile (also known as gall), which is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid that helps most vertebrates with digestion. It increases the absorption of fats and fat-soluble substances such as vitamins A,D,E, and K. It is also necessary for the excretion of bilirubin, which is a byproduct when red blood cells are recycled by the liver. 

Bile deficiency can cause the fats in the food to be undigested and these fats end up excreted as part of feces. It can also lead to vitamin deficiency and a gradual build-up of toxins in the liver.
