Human populations in low-UV environments tend to have more lightly pigmented skin. One explanation is that the selective pressur

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Lightly pigmented people tend to be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

Explanation:

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE:

Human skin is the largest organ of the body which makes boundary line between environment and internal conditions. Human skin cell produces pigment called melanin when ever it is subjected to Sun. More the melanin pigment produced more will be the skin darkens. Ultraviolet (UV) radiations also come from Sun and responsible for more pigmentation.

ANSWER EXPLANATION:

According to the question darkly pigmentation only occurs when their is high level of UV radiations. High level of UV radiations are also responsible for Vitamin D production.

People with lightly pigmented means that there environment has low level of UV radiations which are the requirement of Vitamin D production. Hence due to low UV radiations peoples with light pigmentation's are also be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

Which of the following statements best describes proactive interference?

Wewaii [24]

The correct option is A.
Proactive interference refers to the tendency of the knowledge that one had learned previously to prevent one from subsequent learning. Thus, proactive interference is the difficulty that comes with learning new things due to the stuffs that one had learned before. For instance, an individual may find it difficult to learn Spanish because he has previously learn German.<span />

How many possible open reading frames (frames without stop codons) are there that extend through the following sequence? 5'... C

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

There are 4 reading frames without stop codons.

Explanation:

1) To find the possible reading frames you need to separate your sequence in codons (trios) for the 5'-> 3' sense, first, excluding the first nucleotide, then excluding 2 nucleotides and then not excluding nucleotides.

5'... C TTA CAG TTT ATT GAT ACG GAG AAG G... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CT TAC AGT TTA TTG ATA CGG AGA AGG... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CTT ACA GTT TAT <u>TGA</u> TAC GGA GAA GG... 3'

2)Then you find the complementary sequence (which you already have)

3'... GAA TGT CAA ATA ACT ATG CCT CTT CC... 5'

3'... GA ATG TCA AAT AAC TAT GCC TCT TCC... 5'

3'... G AAT GTC AAA TAA CTA TGC CTC TTC C... 5'

3) Next, you have to obtain the reverse complementary

CCT TCT CCG TAT CAA TAA ACT GTA AG NO STOP CODON

CC TTC TCC GTA TCA ATA AAC TGT AAG NO STOP CODON

C CTT CTC CGT ATC AAT AAA CTG <u>TAA</u> G

4)Now you need to find start (AGT in terms of DNA) and stop codons(<u>TAA</u>, <u>TAG,</u> <u>TGA</u>, also in terms of DNA), in 5->3 and de reverse complementary.

<em />

<em>As you can see, you have for open reading frames that lack of stop codon, unfortunately, they also lack of AGT, the start codon.</em>

I added a table where you can find thestart and stop codons as well as the proteins that they translate to in terms of RNA.

I hope you find this information interesting and useful, good luck!
