A. Nutrients and other materials pass through the cell membrane through the process of diffusion. This allows the cell to perform all the activities it requires for daily maintenance and living. The concentration gradient allows the cell to regulate just how much of a certain material passes through it.
Answer:
The correct option is the number 2. Cystic fibrosis
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the glands that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices, this genetic disorder makes the secretions more sticky and thick, they accumulate and produces blockage in the tubes, ducts and passages, in particular in the lungs and pancreas.
The mucus block the ducts that carry digestive enzymes from the pancreas to the small intestine. Without these digestive enzymes, the intestines are not able to completely absorb nutrients in the food. The result is often, little increase in weight and growth, intestinal obstruction, particularly in newborns (ìleo meconium), among others.
Cystic fibrosis also affects the epithelial cells of the sweat glands, children suffering from this disorder may have a kind of salt layer on the skin. They can also lose abnormally high amounts of salt when they sweat on hot days.
There are four bases found in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Adenine forms a base pair with thymine, and cytosine forms a base pair with guanine. There is a one-to-one relationship in these base pairings (Chargaff’s rule), which means that if you know the percentage of any one of them within a given DNA sample, you can calculate the percentages of the other three. In this case, you're given the percentage of guanine, and you want to find out the percentage of adenine.
Since guanine base-pairs with cytosine and since there must be as much cytosine as there is guanine, 41% of the bases in this gene are cytosine as well. That means that adenine and thymine <em>together </em>make up the remaining 18% (100% − 41% G − 41% C) of the base pairs. If there must be an equivalence in the number of thymine and adenine bases per Chargaff's rule, then half of the remaining base pairs must comprise adenine and the other half comprise thymine. Half of 18% is 9%.
Thus, adenine makes up 9% of the bases in this gene.
Answer:
