Answer:
Explanation: Without gene duplication, mutation of genes would not exist. This would prevent organisms from adapting to their environment, making survival much more difficult if not impossible.
Answer:
C4 plants—including maize, sugarcane, and sorghum—avoid photorespiration by using another enzyme called PEP during the first step of carbon fixation. ... PEP fixes carbon dioxide into a four-carbon molecule, called malate, that is transported to the deeper bundle sheath cells that contain Rubisco.
Explanation:
The correct answer is: A. A change in a cell's genetic material.
Mutations occur in DNA as a result of mistakes during the DNA replication (when repair mechanisms don’t fix it) or as the result of environmental factors (e.g. UV light). Mutations can have positive impact, by increasing the genetic variation or can have negative effect, causing the diseases or cancer.
The answer is LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
Arteriosclerosis is the build up of cholesrol on the inner walls of the arteries. In the long run, arteriosclerosis reduces the diameter of the blood vessels, causing high blood pressure.
The endothelial cells of arteries have receptors that facilitate binding and transportation of the LDL hence facilitation of their accumulation in the blood vessels.
Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder which is caused by the presence of extra copy of chromosome 21. Therefore also called as Trisomy 21.
Alzheimer's disease is a most common form of dementia(reduction in brain functioning). It is caused by mutation in single gene APP (Amyloid Precursor Protein) present on chromosomer 21.
