Both men and women conceived during the widespread famine of the Dutch Hunger Winter were more likely to be obese by age 5050 an

d more likely to die from stroke or cardiovascular disease. They also experienced more cognitive decline later in life. Fifteen genetic loci associated with growth and metabolic disease were compared between siblings prenatally exposed to the famine and those siblings who were not prenatally exposed.
1. What evidence suggests that these are epigenetic effects?

a. missense mutations within genes encoding histone proteins
b. single nucleotide polymorphisms within loci involved in growth and metabolic disease
c. transposon insertion into loci involved in growth and metabolic disease
d. changes in the methylation patterns of loci involved in growth and metabolic disease

2. Which additional pieces of evidence would help to demonstrate that these effects are due to epigenetic changes?

a. changes in the post-translational modification of metabolic enzymes
b. differences in the expression of metabolic genes
c. mutations in the DNA regions associated with cardiovascular health
d. changes in histone acetylation patterns

Answer:

1. d. changes in the methylation patterns of <em>loci</em> involved in growth and metabolic disease

2. b. differences in the expression of metabolic genes

d. changes in histone acetylation patterns

Explanation:

Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression which are not dependent on DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms involve DNA methylation, histone modifications (acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc) and regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) pathways. These epigenetic mechanisms work together and mutually reinforce each other in order to modulate gene expression (either by activating or suppressing gene expression). In consequence, transcriptome data (e.g., genes differentially expressed in particular tissues/cells or stages of development) is an important piece of evidence indicating the existence of epigenetic modulation.

What is true of matter in ecosystems?
Sidana [21]
D.Elements continuously cycle between the physical environment and living organisms.

Ecosystem is encompassing all the life on earth in the physical environment that supports it. An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span> </span>

Ed was in a bicycle accident, he had no sensations in his injured leg. He can move the limb normally. Based on the functional cl
____ [38]
There are two types of neurons in our legs: motor neuron and sensory neuron. These send and receive messages to and from each other and the brain.  

After Ed's accident, he can't move his injured leg since the motor neuron is dysfunctional. The sensory neuron is functional so he can feel his limbs but can't move them since when the sensory neuron sends a message to the motor neuron, it isn't able to deliver the message to the brain to make the leg move. This is why he can still feel his limbs but is not able to move them.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Clinical examination

Explanation:

Clinical examination is performed by the medical practitioner in which the practitioner examines the patient for a medical condition based on the physical condition of the patient.

The examination involves the three steps: a history of the patient, examination of the symptoms based on the medical reports and the possible explanation of for the cause.

Since in the given question, the dietician after noticing the physical health assessed the nutrition therefore the doctor is performing the clinical examination.
