When we extracted our own DNA last Friday, how did the things we used (Gatorade, alcohol, soap) relate to the things that are us

Answer:

Soap solution functions to dissolve the cell membranes, alcohol is used to precipitate DNA, and Gatorade is a isotonic solution.

Explanation:

In the DNA extraction protocols, the cell membranes that are formed by lipidic bilayers can be dissolved by using detergent solutions that are functionally analog to soap solution, shampoo, etc. On the other hand, alcohol enables to precipitate DNA (because DNA is not soluble in alcohol), while proteins and other cellular components remain in the extraction solution. Finally, Gatorade is a isotonic solution that may be used to prevent the cells from lysing.

what's the difference between these- single or multiple genes, and dominant, recessive or sex-linked genes
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.

Is sickle cell anemia caused by genetic or environmental factors
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Genetic, geographic & cultural factors that cause sickle-cell anemia. It is important to note that even genetic diseases are caused by multiple social, environmental and biological factors. This is particularly true in the case of sickle-cell anemia, a genetically inherited blood disorder usually found in people with West African ancestry (PBS 2001).

Provide an example of how cells balance the redox potential between different cellular components?
crimeas [40]

En la respiración celular, la célula depende totalmente de las reacciones Redox, para ser precisos de la reducción del NAD a NADH y la oxidación de NADH a NAD.

Ahora veamos una situación diferente.

En la fotosíntesis, ocurre la reacción inversa de redox, como se muestra en la siguiente ecuación:

6CO2 + 6H2O + E --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

La energía biológica se almacena y se lanza con la frecuencia por medio de reacciones redox. La fotosíntesis implica la reducción del CO2 en azucares y la oxidación del H2O en oxigeno molecular (O2), mientras que en la respiración es lo inverso, la oxidación de azucares a CO2 y H2O.

Entre los pasos redox de la fotosíntesis, compuestos deducidos del CO2 reducen el NAD lo que crea entonces, la creación gradiente de protones, que conduce a la síntesis del ATP y es mantenida por la oxidación del O2.

En los seres vivos, el término redox se utiliza para describir el equilibrio NAD-NADH y NADP-NADPH.

El estado redox contribuye al equilibrio de los sistemas metabólicos. En el caso de alteraciones en las reacciones redox, puede producirse HIPOXIA, que es el déficit del O2 en la sangre, CHOQUE, que es el mal circulamiento de lal sangre y la SEPSIS.
