A nuclease (also archaically known as nucleodepolymerase or polynucleotidase) is an enzyme capable of cleaving the phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides of nucleic acids. Nucleases variously effect single and double stranded breaks in their target molecules. In living organisms, they are essential machinery for many aspects of DNA repair. Defects in certain nucleases can cause genetic instability or immunodeficiency.[1] Nucleases are also extensively used in molecular cloning.[2]

Depiction of the restriction enzyme (endonuclease) HindIII cleaving a double-stranded DNA molecule at a valid restriction site (5'–A|AGCTT–3').

There are two primary classifications based on the locus of activity. Exonucleases digest nucleic acids from the ends. Endonucleases act on regions in the middle of target molecules. They are further subcategorized as deoxyribonucleases and ribonucleases. The former acts on DNA, the latter on RNA.[2]

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

No lactose individuals have two biological parents that are lactose intolerant

Explanation:

In this case lactose intolerance would be coded for a recessive gene (r). if both parents are lactose intolerant the would both be the genotype (rr) . For individual to be lactose intolerant atleast one parent most be lactose tolerant posesing the dominant (R) gene. Which both parents in this example lack.

The Punnett square predicts the ratio of genotypes in the offspring based on the genotypes of the parents. Which Punnett square

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

A Punnett square is shown. The columns are labeled Upper D and d. The rows are labeled d and d. Clockwise from upper left the boxes contain: Upper D d, d d, d d, Upper D d.

Explanation:

Punnett square is used to depict the cross between two organisms. Progeny genotypes can be determined by punnett square. Columns and rows are labelled according to the alleles present in the genotype of respective parents, in this case the mom and the dad.

It has been given that the mom is heterozygous for dimples trait. Since, heterozygous genotype has two different alleles together, mom's genotype must be Dd. Dad is homozygous for no dimples so he can either be DD or dd depending on the dominance nature of the trait. Out of the given options, only the selected option has one heterozygous genotype (Dd) and one homozygous genotype (dd) together hence it is the correct option.

What is the spreading of tumor cells to distant parts of the body via blood and lymph referred to as?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The correct answer is (c) metastasis.Metastasis is the spreading of tumor cells to distant parts of the body (from one organ to another, that is not even directly connected with it) via blood and lymph. When the doctor says that the cancer is metastatic, it means the cancer cells are spreading and can be dangerous.
