Answer:

beacsue they have unknown long term risks

Explanation:

The benefits of using GMOs include crops having higher harvest yields which can feed more people in the world, and making food more nutritional. The risks of using GMOs include both the unknown long term risks of eating GMO crops and the negative effects that they can have on an environment.

What statement most directly demonstrates a way that the geosphere is involved in the nitrogen cycle
Ulleksa [173]

B. bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates are found in the soil  

This statement best demonstrates a way that the geo-sphere is involved in the nitrogen cycle.

A nitrogen cycle is defined as the movement of nitrogen between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geo-sphere in different forms. Ammonia is converted to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Then the plants absorb these nitrates from the soil and use these to build up proteins.

What are the steps in filament theory
Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The steps of the sliding filament theory are:

Muscle activation: breakdown of energy (ATP) by myosin.

Before contraction begins, myosin is only associated with a molecule of energy (ATP), which myosin breaks down into its component molecules (ADP + P) causing myosin to change shape.

Muscle contraction: cross-bridge formation

The shape change allows myosin to bind an adjacent actin, creating a cross-bridge.

Recharging: power (pulling) stroke

The cross-bridge formation causes myosin to release ADP+P, change shape, and to pull (slide) actin closer to the center of the myosin molecule.

Relaxaction: cross-bridge detachment

The completion of the pulling stroke further changes the shape of myosin. This allows myosin and ATP to bind, which causes myosin to release actin, destroying the cross-bridge. The cycle is now ready to begin again.

The repeated cycling through these steps generates force (i.e., step 2: cross-bridge formation) and changes in muscle length (i.e., step 3: power stroke), which are necessary to muscle contraction.

Answer: False

In cellular respiration, <span>organic molecules are break down and it uses an electron transport chain for the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Here, the hydrogen ions are pumped into the mitochondrial intermembrane space and they flow back through ATP synthase that produces most of the ATP associated with cellular respiration.</span><span>

Describe how mutations lead to genetic variations.
pickupchik [31]

Describe how mutations lead to genetic variations.

Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of any organism. These DNA sequence comprise genes which control all the traits of an organism such as height, weight, eye color or which specific protein will be formed in body at which time. Everything is controlled by tiny pieces of DNA. If there occurs any change in the DNA sequence of an organism, it can be lethal to it, for example: In case of cancerous mutations where proteins controlling cell division are badly affected. Other mutations are simply passed to the offspring leading to genetic variations in the offspring. This is how mutations leads to the changes in genetic of an organism.

Which appears to be more dangerous: the BRC1 or BRC2 mutation?

The BRC1 and BRC2 are mutations or changes in the BRCA gene of humans mostly females. BRCA gene is basically a tumor suppressor gene which in some cases undergo mutations of different types. Some of which can be unharmful while BRC1 and BRC2 are typically very dangerous mutations because they increase the chances of a woman to develop breast cancer. Woman with BRC1 and BRC2 mutations have five times more risk of developing the breast cancer than other women. Studies suggest that BRC1 mutation is more dangerous than BRC2 mutations because a greater number of patients seen have BRC1 kind of mutation. Moreover, BRCA1 is associated with triple-negative breast cancer response in which a person cannot be fully treated with some drugs like which does not respond to hormonal trastuzumab and hormonal treatments.  

Analyze a woman’s risk of dying of cancer if she carries a mutated BRC1 gene.

The risk of a woman to die with cancer due to with BRC1 mutation are quite high. This is because 18 percent of the women which develop breast cancer due to BRC1 mutation die while only 2.8 percent of the women who develop breast cancer due to BRC2 mutations die. This indicates substantially higher risk of BRC1 patients of dying as compared to BRC2 patients.

How do heredity and inheritance relate to the data presented in these charts?

Please add charts.

What data would you need to see in order to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of preventive surgeries?

There are several preventive surgeries used to prevent the chances of breast cancer in women. However, the genetic history of a person and her family’s genetic history is important to see before drawing some effective preventive surgery.

What does the age at diagnosis tell you about the mutation?

By looking at different cases of breast cancers and analyzing the data of different countries, we noticed that,  the onset of disease takes several years because it is a genetic level mutation and the onset of mutation starts in earlier years of a woman’s life however she fully becomes a victim and notices it in late years of her life. This is why it cannot be easily diagnosed in early years even it is present there.

Explain how breast-cancer genes are still present in the population, despite cancer-related surgeries and deaths.

The genes responsible for breast cancer such as BRC1 and BRC2 are inherited from parents to offspring in a dominant fashion which means only one copy of gene is enough for the onset of the disease. Also because the disease is caused due to genetic level mutations, even if the doctors remove the cancers through surgeries they are not able to remove each and every affected gene from an organism which is passed from parents to offspring and still present in population.

Hope it helps!
