Answer:

D. Important for bone growth

Explanation:

Bacteria that live in the human gut also produce small quantities of K-2. Both forms of vitamin K are essential for blood clotting and bone health.

A new life form was discovered on Mars, one based upon Silicon instead of Carbon. Explain what properties Silicon has that allow
Vesna [10]

Group IV of the Periodic Table of the Elements contains carbon (C), silicon (Si) and several heavy metals. Carbon, of course, is the building block of life as we know it. So is it possible that a planet exists in some other solar system where silicon substitutes for carbon? Several science fiction stories feature silicon-based life-forms--sentient crystals, gruesome golden grains of sand and even a creature whose spoor or scat was bricks of silica left behind. The novellas are good reading, but there are a few problems with the chemistry.

CRYSTALLINE CREATURES? Silicon can grow into a number of lifelike structures, but its chemistry makes it unlikely that it could be the basis for alien life-forms.</span>

Indeed, carbon and silicon share many characteristics. Each has a so-called valence of four--meaning that individual atoms make four bonds with other elements in forming chemical compounds. Each element bonds to oxygen. Each forms long chains, called polymers, in which it alternates with oxygen. In the simplest case, carbon yields a polymer called poly-acetal, a plastic used in synthetic fibers and equipment. Silicon yields polymeric silicones, which we use to waterproof cloth or lubricate metal and plastic parts.

Hypoxia is known to cause a disruption of somitogenesis. If a mouse embryo were temporarily exposed to low levels of oxygen duri
Pani-rosa [81]

The answer to this question is: abnormal development of the caudal (tail) vertebrae

Somitogenesis refers to the process during embryo development in which somites form. These somites are cells that will give rise to structures associated with the vertebrae body plan. Somites form sequentially from the head to the tail, where each new somite forms on the caudal or tail region of the previous one.  

Somitogenesis represents the first sign of segmentation of the developing vertebrate embryo. During somitogenesis, the unsegmented paraxial or presomitic mesoderm in the trilaminar embryonic stage is segmented in order to form pairs of somites. Moreover, caudal vertebrae refer to the bones that form the tail of vertebrates, which derive from caudal somites.

Embryo hypoxia refers to the condition in which the developing embryo does not receive sufficient oxygen (O2) supply. It has been shown that hypoxia during embryo development can increase the incidence of malformations. In this case, embryo hypoxia affects normal caudal somite segmentation, thereby leading to defects in the caudal (tail) vertebrae.

In dna replication, two copies of a dna molecule are produced. in each copy, one strand is new and, the others parental. this pr
pishuonlain [190]
The answer is semiconservative replication. Semiconservative meaning that half of the original molecule (one of the two strands in the double helix) is conserved in the new molecule. Replication is the process by which double stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. It is one of the most basic process that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each stand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.
