The scientists mapping the SNPs in the human genome noticed that groups of SNPs tended to be inherited together, in blocks known

as haplotypes, ranging in length from 5,000 to 200,000 base pairs. There are as few as four or five commonly occurring combinations of SNPs per haplotype. Integrating what you've learned throughout this chapter and this unit, propose an explanation for this observation.

Answer:

SNPs have shown that only 0.1 % of DNA sequences are different in the human genome between different individuals, thereby all the inherited phenotypic variation observed in our species is associated with only 0.1 % of differences at the genome level  

Explanation:

Haplotypes are block-like sequences of DNA that are inherited together due to low recombination rates. Moreover, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping is a very useful methodology used to map the site of SNP mutations (i.e., SNP variants). In this regard, it has been observed that there are approximately 10 million common SNPs in the human genome. These SNPs contribute to the wide range of phenotypic variation observed in human populations for different traits (e.g., eye color, hair, weight, height, etc). Moreover, researchers have determined that SNPs can be clustered into haplotypes, thereby haplotypes can be accurately sampled by as few as approx. 300,000 selected SNPs, which are sufficient to represent all of the genetic variation across different human genomes.

Which descriptions apply to prokaryotic cells? Check all that apply.
tester [92]

Answer:

1. Are usually single-celled.

2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles

3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:

1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.

2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.

3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.

Examples include all the bacterias.

What does it mean for a living thing to convert energy?
QveST [7]

Since living organisms require energy and both survival and reproduction... the sun provides the energy for photosynthesis. Cells need sugar as a sources of energy. The cellular respiration is the synthesis of ATP using energy that is being released by the breakdown of sugar to carbon dioxide and water.

Why does water have polarity
alexgriva [62]

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule rather like Mickey Mouse ears. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms.
