Imagine that DNA is composed of equal proportions of six different types of nucleotide, instead of the normal four. The six nucl

eotides are A, C, G, T, X, and Y. In this new type of DNA molecule, A pairs with T, C pairs with G, and X pairs with Y. What would be the average size of the DNA fragments produced when this new DNA is cut by a restriction endonuclease with an eight-base recognition sequence?

Answer:

The average size of the DNA fragments produced when this new DNA is cut by a restriction endonuclease with an eight-base recognition sequence would be 1679616.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes can be described as the enzymes which are specific to certain DNA sites and cut the DNA from that particular site.

Normally, the average size of a DNA fragment cut by a restriction enzyme is calculated by the formula 4^{no.of base recognition sequence}.

As the number of bases has changed to 6 and the restriction enzyme has eight base recognition site then the formula will be:

6^{no.of base recognition sequence}

i.e

6^{8}  = 1679616

A nurse is providing instructions to an asian patient regarding obtaining a stool specimen for testing for occult blood. as the
Svetach [21]
In the Asian culture, they have a formal respect system where they maintain a distance from others. Many are uncomfortable with a direct eye to eye contact. The patient is not being rude, they are only doing as their culture dictates. With this being said, the nursing action that is most appropriate is to continue with the instructions and conversation. If the nurse decides to walk around to face the patient, this is considered a direct conflict in their culture. Do not stop giving the instructions on the stool specimen and offer the patient to come back as they will be offended. Also, never tell the Asian patient to look at you as you are talking as they may find it degrading. So the answer to the question is; continue with the instructions and verify that the client understands.

Scientists are now studying human DNA in labs all over the world. Which are current goals for the scientists at these labs? Sele
Virty [35]

Answer:

B. identifying the regions of human DNA that are transcribed into RNA

C. identifying the regions of human DNA that bind to proteins

D. analyzing the regions of human DNA that vary among individuals

Explanation:

The double helix structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule was characterized and published in April 1953 by Francis Crick and James Watson. Moreover, the Human Genome Project was a project aimed at completing mapping and sequencing of the human genome. This project was completed and published in April 2003. Nowadays, scientists are focused on identifying which genes are expressed (i.e., transcribed into RNA) in specific cell types/tissues. For this purpose, it is imperative 1-to identify the promoter and enhancer regions that bind to specific proteins (transcription factors) in order to activate gene expression, and 2-to understand how genetic variation is related to gene expression patterns in specific cell types and/or in response to specific environmental stimuli.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:Diversity-Stability Theory

Biologically diverse communities are also more likely to contain species that confer resilience to that ecosystem because as a community accumulates species, there is a higher chance of any one of them having traits that enable them to adapt to a changing environment.
