Normal cells die in a nutrient medium containing thymidine and methotrexate, whereas mutant cells defective in thymidylate synth

ase survive and grow. The mutant cells grow because the medium contains the___________ they are unable to make normal cells, however, continue to synthesize their own and thereby convert their limited supply of to________ . The methotrexate inhibits , so cannot be regenerated. Without a supply of___________ for the synthesis of nucleotides and amino acids, the cells die.

Answer:

*Thymidine

*THF to DHF

*THF

Explanation:

Normal cells die in a nutrient medium containing thymidine and methotrexate, whereas mutant cells defective in thymidylate synthase survive and grow. The mutant cells grow because the medium contains the_____Thymidine______ they are unable to make normal cells, however, continue to synthesize their own and thereby convert their limited supply of to__THF to DHF______ . The methotrexate inhibits , so cannot be regenerated. Without a supply of______THF_____ for the synthesis of nucleotides and amino acids, the cells die.

NOTE:

THF means Tetrahydrofolate

DHF means Dihydrofolate

Thymidine which is also reffered to as deoxythymidine, is described as a deoxynucleoside that is composed of the pyrimidine base thymine that is attached to the sugar deoxyribose. Thymidine is a nucleoside made up of pentose sugar, pyrimidine base tymine and deoxyribose, it is one of the the four nucleoside found in exclusively DNA as well as T-loop of tRNA.

Tetrahydrofolate also known as tetrahydrofolic acid can be described as part of folic acid that function as a coenzyme which aid metabolic reactions that includes nucleic acid and amino acids. It is also reffered to as one-carbon metabolism, and it's oone-carbon mechanism is associated to the histidine, serine of amino acid.

Where can you observe environmental changes that are forcing adaptation?
Helen [10]

Answer:

Description

Since its inception, life on earth has had to adapt to changing environmental conditions - this represents a driving force of evolution.

This module examines how organisms detect and respond to changes in their environment, and reviews the different behavioural, physiological and molecular mechanisms underpinning environmental (stress) adaptation.

Understanding these organism-environment interactions forms the very foundations of ecology. Examples are provided from a range of organisms, but a specific focus is given to terrestrial invertebrates (insects) and plants.

The term “environment” covers a broad spectrum of spatial scales, from changes occurring at the cellular level, to large scale geographic differences between major climatic zones (polar, temperate and tropical).

The process of “change”, and adaptation to these changes, will in turn be discussed across a broad spectrum of timescales. These include:

The requirement for rapid adaptation to potentially dramatic shifts in environmental conditions, e.g. when a parasite first enters its host

Longer-term changes and adaptations across seasonal timescales, e.g. hibernation/insect diapause

Adaptation on an evolutionary timescale, e.g. the ‘Red Queen’ hypothesis, across scenarios of past environmental changes, and extending out to current predictive climate change models

The main aims of this module are to provide students with information, guidance, and access to resources, that will allow them to:

Gain an in depth understanding of how organisms respond and adapt to changes in their environment.

Recognize that the term “environment” covers a continuum of spatial scales from molecular environments within cells, to broad-scale geographic environments and climatic zones.

Appreciate that adaptation to environmental change for an individual organism is transient and occurs across a temporal spectrum of seconds to seasons. For species, adaptation is long-term, but not fixed/permanent, and occurs across a timescale of generations.

Interpret the potential impact of climate change on species, communities and ecosystems. Specifically with respect to how the rate of environmental change may limit effective adaptation, and so result in changes in species distribution and abundance patterns

Become effective independent learners, capable of analysing and interpreting the scientific literature to help formulate and express their own ideas

Three discrete types of muscle fibers are identified on the basis of their size, speed, and endurance. Which of the following at
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Long relaxing swim.

Explanation:

Muscle is one of the most important tissue of the body that helps in the control and the coordination of the body movements. Three different types of muscle are smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle.

The red fibers are the slow twitch fibers that contains large amount of stored oxygen in their muscles. These fibers can generate ATP by the fat and the glycogen metabolism. This fiber will help the swimmers to obtain energy at the end of the race to overcome the oxygen deficiency.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

El pelo rizado en los perros, domina sobre el pelo liso. Calcular el porcentaje del fenotipo de los descendientes de una pareja
creativ13 [48]

Answers:

el pelo rizado en los perros domina sobre el pelo liso. una pareja de pelo rizado tuvo un cachorro de pelo tambien rizado y del que se quiere saber si es heterocigótico ¿ con que tipo de hembras tendrá que cruzarse?

4.6/5

296

El cachorro puede ser "Aa" o "AA". Se quiere saber si es "Aa". Para eso, tendría que cruzarse o con un homocigoto recesivo (aa), puesto que es el que da un 50% de probabilidades de que los hijos sean de pelo rizado.

Entonces, si se cruza con un homocigoto recesivo, la probabilidad de la descendencia debería ser 2 cachorros de pelo rizado y 2 cachorros de pelo liso.

La hembra tendría que ser de pelo liso para asegurarse de que sea homocigoto recesivo.

Si todos los cachorros salen con el pelo rizado, entonces el padre es homocigoto "AA".

Si al menos uno sale con el pelo liso, entonces el padre es heterocigoto "Aa"
