Hunter-Best [27]2 years ago
7 0

Zebra fish is used as an experimental animal model to investigate the genetic cause of human diseases. It is a fresh-water fish found in rivers and ponds of India. There is no similarity in appearance between zebra fish and humans but actually 70% of genes are similar in humans and in zebra fish. Many genes act in the same way in both the organisms in the development of features such as mouth, eyes, brain spinal cord, liver pancreas. Therefore, any disease causes change in body parts of human may experience similar genetic disease in zebra fish.

<u>Answer:</u>

70% of the human genome is the same as found in the zebrafish.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The genetic make-up of zebrafish has shown that 70% of the human genetic make-up is similar to the genetic makeup of zebrafish. The protein coding of genes in both vertebrates is related.

Almost 84% of the genes which cause human genetic diseases are correlated with zebrafish genes. That's why zebrafish experiences the same genetic diseases as humans.

How do plasma cells form, and how do they help fight pathogens
xz_007 [3.2K]
<span>Plasma cells, they are also called  plasma B cells,  or effector B cells, are white blood cells that secrete large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Plasma cells originate in the bone marrow; B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell. Once released into the blood and lymph,</span>

What is the function for common carotid arteries for frogs?​
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Carotid arteries also branch off the aortic arches and supply the head region. Veins bring blood to the left and right atria. Both atria then empty into the single ventricle. Blood from the ventricle thus enters either the pulmonary or body circulation.
