Dr. Bert Vogelstein and his partners study the causes of cancer. In 2017, they published a study of 32 types of cancer. The stud

y concluded that most cancer cases are caused by DNA replication errors. In fact, 66% of the cancer cases they studied were caused by random DNA replication errors. Environmental factors such as diet, sunburns, and smoking caused 29% of the cancers. The last 5% of cancers in the study were caused by inherited factors.
Briefly describe the steps of DNA replication and point out one place in the code where an error can occur.

Answer:

Error or mistakes during DNA replication is accountable for two-thirds or 66% of the cancer cases. These random and unpredictable errors called mutations that occur during the division of a cell as an error in copying of DNA.

DNA replication has three main steps:

Opening and separation of DNA strands of a helix - carried by an enzyme known as helicase that breaks the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases of the helix of DNA.

The priming of the template strand - DNA primase helps RNA primers to bind to both strands at 3' end as soon as it separated

strat assembling the segments of new DNA on strands called elongation of the strands with help DNA polymerase I and after forming new strands the termination of the replication.

Errors or mistakes can occasionally take place if DNA polymerase inserts a wrong base during elongation of the strands.

Look up and record the boiling point of acetic acid, and explain why only some of it evaporates from the reaction mixture.
REY [17]

Answer:

Heating the mixture to a temperature above the boiling point of acetic acid, but below 100°C (the boiling point of water). The vapours from the acetic acid rise, and go into a tube. They are then condensed within the tube, and run off into a separate storage area. Because water can exist as a gas at pretty much any temperature above 0°C, it will result in an impure mixture, but repeatedly doing this will get the acetic acid to the desired purity.

The combustion of Ibuprofen C13H18O2 produces water and carbon
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

277.7 g of CO2

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

C13H18O2 + 11O2 ---> 13CO2 + 9H2O

From the equation of reaction

1 mole of ibuprofen produces 13 moles of CO2

Molar mass of ibuprofen is 206g

Molar mass of CO2 is 44g

13 moles of CO2 weighs 572g

Therefore, 100g of ibuprofen will produce (100×572)/206 of CO2

= 277.7g

A red blood cell has a round structure. A muscle cell has a long, thin structure. Which statement best explains why these two ty
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The red balloons have a biconcave disk structure, which is what is worded in the question seems to me a little wrong.

On the other hand, the elongated structure of muscle cells is due to a greater initial length in order to perform muscle contractions in a better way, or to perform their function at sea.

Something very important that the differences is that the red balloon does not have a nucleus (the muscle cell is multinucleated and has more mitochondrial load) and this structure is characteristic for being able to transport gases such as oxygen and disseminate them better in the body.

Explanation:

Red blood cells also have a shorter half-life than muscle cells, they are responsible for traveling throughout the body and renew their hemoglobin component after 120 days in the spleen.

On the other hand it is important to note that both work together when performing physical exercise, one donates oxygen and the other consumes it, considering that the muscle cell has more capacity to withstand hypoxic moments, that is why it supports lactic fermentations in anaerobic processes .

In summary, the red globule has this shape to act as gas transport, and the muscle cell to have a better start in contractile function.
