Answer:

BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes

Explanation:

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are tumor suppressor genes that encode breast cancer susceptibility proteins involved in repairing double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) by the mechanism of homologous recombination. This mechanism uses the sister chromatid of the homologous chromosome as template for repairing DSBs. It has been shown that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes alter the molecular mechanism of homologous recombination DNA repair, thereby mutations are not repaired appropriately and persist in the DNA of tumor cells.

1. What is the Photosynthesis EQUATION? What is being consumed and what is produced?
Alla [95]
1. 6CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 02

2. The idea of photosynthesis or light dependent reactions is to convert solar/light energy into chemical energy by the form of ATP and NADPH. CO2 and Water are consumed and react to release Glucose and 02. Approximately 36-38 ATP produced.

3. Water is the source of hydrogen atoms in the glucose (sugar) created by the photosynthesis reaction.

4 .
Step 1) The light absorbed by chlorophyll causes a transfer of electrons and H+ from H20 molecules already present. This causes the H20 to split into molecular 0xygen (02) and a H+ ion.

Step 2.) The O2 is released (we breathe it) and the H+ bonds to NADP+ creating NADPH

Step 3) ATP is formed through photophosphorylation. (ADP gets a phosphate group added to it creating ATP)

Step 4.) The NADPH and the ATP created here go on to fuel the reactions in the second part of photosynthesis - The Calvin Cycle

5. The Calvin cycle is a metabolic process that uses the carbon from carbon dioxide, along with energy in the form of ATP, to produce sugar.
A G3P molecule contains three fixed carbon atoms, so it takes two G3Ps to build a six-carbon glucose molecule. It would take six turns of the cycle.

6. To help synthesize carbohydrates for energy

7. In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP +, respectively

Hey!! Could someone help me? I need a definition and examples of geology!!
Alex73 [517]

Geology is a branch of natural science that studies rocks, how they form, etc.

This field of study enabled us to know the age of Earth, the different layers that make up earth amongst many other things.


Hope it helped,
