Key points: Cells have a variety of mechanisms to prevent mutations, or permanent changes in DNA sequence. During DNA synthesis,
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

The above mentioned key points are mechanisms by which cells used to correct replication error and repair damaged DNA.

Proof Reading: while printing a page, the typesetter set the types and impression is taken, proof reading is done to correct mistakes if any, and the final printing is done. A similar follow up mechanism is done after DNA synthesis. If DNA polymerase detects an incorrect nucleotide pair, it will remove and replace with the correct nucleotide immediately.

Mismatch Repair:even after DNA synthesis, mismatch area(insertion or deletion) can be identified on the newly synthesized DNA.

In the mismatch repair, specific proteins scan the newly synthesized DNA strand. The mismatch area is identified and loop.

The second protein complex remove the mismatch segment. Finally correct segment is synthesized by the help of DNA polymerase, SSBs and ligase.

DNA damage repair mechanism: when DNA get damaged, there's a repair process that fix the damage. This includes Direct reversal, excision repair and Double stranded break repair

What is the next step in muscle contraction after the actin changes shape?​
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The myosin filament or more precisely the myosin head can now bind to the actin forming the cross bridges followed by a power stroke during which actin slides over myosin.

Explanation:

The muscle contraction can be explained by sliding filament theory bu Huxley and Huxley. The two muscle proteins which take part in muscle contraction are myosin and actin.

Myosin:  It is a hexameric protein. Each monomer is called meromyosin. Each meromyosin has two important parts, a globular head with a short arm and a tail. The head forms cross bridges with the actin filament. Myosin head acts as ATPase enzyme. When ATP binds, head acts as enzyme hydrolyzing the ATP to produce energy. The head also has the site for binding of actin.

Actin filament: It contains three proteins, filamentous actin, tropomyosin and troponin. Filamentous actin contains active site for myosin binding but at rest, tropmyosin covers the myosin binding site. This prevents the cross bridge formation. Tropomyosin are held in place by troponin molecules.

When calcium is available, the binding of calcium to a TpC sub-unit of troponin causes the shifting of tropomyosin-troponin complex. Now actin can attach to myosin head and slide over myosin.

The actin filaments slide over the myosin filament by the the formation of cross bridges and during this process the I-band gets reduced whereas the A band remain the same. The lengths of actin and myosin filaments remain unchanged.

Which of the following is NOT a symptom of ketoacidosis?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Decreased breathing (a) is not a symptom of ketoacidosis.

Explanation:

Ketoacidosis is a condition involving the levated production of ketones in the organism, usually as a consequence of type 1 diabetes.

The build up of ketones in the blood is mostly due to the breakdown of fatty acids by the body to acquire energy. Since ketone is an organic acid, its high levels decrease blood pH leading to several symptoms.

Frequent urination (polurya), fruity odor to breath, dehydratation and electrolyte imbalance are some of the symptoms. Decreased breathing rate is not a symptom, actually, ketoacidosis leads to rapid breathing.

Increasing the rate of breathing reduces the amount of CO₂ in the blood, which increases its pH making it less acidic.
