Loss-of-function mutations in the coding region of the homologous gene in humans result in loss of hair, teeth, and sweat glands
, as in the toothless men of Sind (India). What does this suggest about hair, teeth, and sweat glands in humans? Select the two correct answers. a) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda has been co-opted by evolution to control different aspects of development, as it does in sticklebacks. b) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that human Eda protein and stickleback fish Eda protein contain structurally similar DNA-binding domains. c) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda controls multiple aspects of human development, either directly by controlling each tissue type independently or by controlling a tissue that is a developmental precursor to the affected tissue types. d) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that human hair and teeth might be homologous to stickleback fish bony plates. e) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that hair, teeth, and sweat glands are homologous structures.
c) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda controls multiple aspects of human development, either directly by controlling each tissue type independently or by controlling a tissue that is a developmental precursor to the affected tissue types.
e) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that hair, teeth, and sweat glands are homologous structures.
The Rocky mountains are also called a Divide or Continental Divide of Americas because these mountains separate river system flow in the pacific ocean and the river system which flows in the Atlantic ocean. The Continental divide is also called as the Great Divide.
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. Mass does not change with gravity as weight does due to the act of pulling down on an object making it in fact heavier.
