Biology

Digiron [165]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.​

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.  

Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.

<u>DNA recombination</u> is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <u><em>Mutant or mutated DNA</em></u><em> is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence </em>
  • <u><em>Hybrid DNA</em></u><em> is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used. </em>
  • <u><em>Polyploid</em></u><em> refers to cells containing the genome of different species.</em>

Normally, this region is imprinted in the sperm, but not the egg. This means that the DNA on the ____________ copy of the chromo
Nostrana [21]

Answer: The DNA on the paternal copy of the chromosome will be methylated at the imprinting center, while the DNA on the maternal copy of the chromosome will not be methylated in this region.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are DNA structures associated with proteins such as histones. They are found in the nucleus of cells and contain genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. Human beings are diploid, meaning that they possess two copies of each of the 23 chromosomes (a total of 46).

Gametes, which are sex cells such as the sperm (produced by the male) and the egg (produced by the female) that are haploid. This means that they possess only one chromosome of each pair. During fertilization, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to generate a zygote, which will give rise to a new human being. <u>This new individual will possess half of the genetic material from its father and half from its mother. Thus having a total of 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent</u>.

Genetic imprinting modulates gene expression by chemical modification of DNA and/or modification of chromatin structure. Often, genetic imprinting causes a gene to be expressed only on the chromosome inherited from one of the parents. One example of imprinting is DNA methylation, which is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA. <u>Methylation modifies DNA function when found in the promoter gene, repressing gene transcription. This means that a methylated gene will not be expressed</u>, that is, it will not produce a protein encoded by that gene. So, if a region of DNA is imprinted in the sperm cell, the paternal chromosome inherited from this sperm will be methylated in the genes of the offspring. And the offspring will only express the maternal copy inherited, which will not be methylated.

How would you characterize the style of parenting under which you were raised? Was the same style used by both of your parents?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

I have been raised under an autthoritative parenting style, and my parents were both raised under an authoritarian style (it was more evident in my mother, because my father's mum died when he was 13). I think it was authoritative because they didn't let me do whatever I wanted, but they also didn't keep so much control on me, so I had certain level of freedom, as long as I didn't break anything xD

According to selye, some people may develop illnesses such as high blood pressure or a weakened immune system during the _______
Sever21 [200]
I believe the answer for the above question is exhaustion stage.
Hans selye, described three predictable stages the body uses to respond to stressors, called general adaptation syndrome (GAS). The first stage is alarm stage, which provides burst energy, then the resistance stage where the body attempts to resist or adapt to the stressor, and finally the exhaustion stage. During the resistance stage, the body uses its resources of flight off the stressor. It is not until the next stage, exhaustion, that bodily resources are so depleted that stress-related diseases can develop.
