gogolik [260]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Plants and animals share many characteristics, but they are different in some respects. Animals usually move around and find their own food, while plants are usually immobile and create their food via photosynthesis. ... Animal cells absorb nutrients from food, while plant cells use plastids to create energy from sunlight.

Ratling [72]
She will give the DNA fingerprinting report to the jury which will have samples of suspect and its profile matching to the evidence found at the scene of crime.


In DNA fingerprinting hair, blood, semen, or other biological samples are required for the comparison of suspect and evidence. It depends on the unique polymorphism in their DNA.
The fragments of DNA are made to run on the electrophoresis gel and the similar bands observed will confirm the matching.
The DNA fingerprinting will provide very exact evidence if the DNA samples matched.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Soma

Explanation:

Soma is the site at which the error of integrating an excitatory signal with other incoming signals occurred. Another name for Soma is perikaryon.

This signal integrates chemical encoding of signal transduction from all other incoming signals and this signal is not integrated properly with other incoming signals to that neuron.

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.
