The right answer is Scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the consequences.
DDT is a potent insecticide: it kills by opening the sodium channels of insect neurons, destroying them instantly, leading to spasms and then death. Some genetic mutations acting on the sodium channels can make some insects resistant to DDT and other insecticides working on the same principle.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has categorized DDT into the B2 class, that is, potential carcinogen for humans. This supports the fact that the insecticide acts on human DNA.
Nitrogen, even though makes for about 78% of our atmosphere, and is by far the most abundant gas in it, we can not use it because it can not be taken out of the atmosphere as it is. If we take nitrogen in the form as it is in the atmosphere it is useless for both humans and plants. It has to go through a process of ''fixation'' first before we can actually use it in our food.
Answer:
Horsts and Grabens - A narrow block dropped down between two normal faults is called a graben (looks like a small valley). The upraised block is called a horst (looks like a plateau). Normal faults are the dominant structures along the oceanic ridge, and in continental rifts.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is: exonuclease activity.
Explanation:
DNA Polymerase is an enzyme of critical importance for the replication of the DNA. DNA needs to be replicated so, when entering Mitosis, each daughter cell can have a copy of the genetic material they need.
DNA Polymerase has an exonuclease activity in which mismatched nucleotides are removed from the newly replicated DNA strand in order to prevent mutations that can lead to malfunctioning or harmful proteins.
Answer:
a) The enhancer site is a distal control site many nucleotides upstream from the promoter site, and activates the initiation complex of transcription.
Explanation:
Enhancers are the regulatory DNA sequences that are generally located quite away from the coding regions of a gene. These sequences are mostly present upstream of promoter sequences. Enhancers regulate the gene expression by stimulating the formation of an active transcription initiation complex and thereby, increase the rate of RNA synthesis. Enhancers also serve as the binding site for specific regulatory proteins. These proteins bound to the enhancers then activate transcription by interacting with the proteins bound to the promoters.
