Answer:

Option B, Beriberi

Explanation:

Thiamin is caused due to the deficiency of vitamin B-1 /thiamine whose chemical name is thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamin is a water soluble vitamin which occurs naturally and is a very essential nutrient as it plays an important role in energy metabolism and hence regulate the growth, development, and function of cells  

Thiamin is stored in liver for a short duration as its life is extremely short and thus it should be ingested regulary.  

The deficiency of thiamin causes  beriberi and thus food like  whole grains, meat, fish breads, cereals etc. must be taken in sufficient amount regularly.

Mitosis, the process of cell division, is most important for an organism's what?
iris [78.8K]
<span>Cell division serves as a means of reproduction in unicellular organisms through binary fission. In multicellular organisms, cell division aids in the formation of gametes, which are cells that combine with others to form sexually produced offspring. For growth to occur in living organisms, the number of cells have to increase through cell division until it reaches its maximum size. 

The human body also repairs injuries by means of cell division. When skin is cut, the skin cells on either side of the cut divide to make new cells that heal the wound.</span>

aksik [14]

Answer:

A) Brain genomic library and muscle genomic library.

B) Brain genomic library and muscle genomic library - overlap completely.

Human brain cDNA library, and a human muscle cDNA library and other library is partially overlap.

Explanation:

A) The genomic library contains the whole genome content of the organism whereas cDNA library contains the coding genome of the organisms. Brain genomic library and muscle genomic library will constitute the all the genomic sequences of brain and muscle.  The cDNA library is prepared from the mRNA and the coding regions are present in this library.

B) The overlapping in the genome library might occur due to the common sequences present in the genome. Brain genomic library and muscle genomic library might completely overlap with each other as they have more sequence common among each other. All the other library may be partially overlap with each other as they have some common DNA sequences and neither library can have unique sequences.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Use cooking methods that minimize/eliminate contact with water.

Explanation:

Vitamins are important nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Vitamins can be easily leached out and it is therefore recommended that the vegetables should be consumed immediately after purchase or stored in an airtight container.

The use of cooking method that eliminate contact with water such as freezing, keeping in a close container will help retain the vitamins, reduce degradation rate and prevent it form been lost.

Cutting will allow easy definition of vitamins and result in its lost.

Lichens look like moss. But they’re actually two organisms—usually fungi and algae—that live together in a mutualistic relations
Snezhnost [94]
The algae increase the autotrophy by offering photosynthesis to the fungi in the lichen organism.

A lichen is an organism consisting of a symbiotic association between a fungus (the mycobiont) and algae. The mushroom brings water and mineral salts. The alga produces, by photosynthesis, various organic compounds of which it gives a part to the mushroom.
