Answer:

The correct answer is - A and D.

Explanation:

Genetic imprinting is DNA modifications that result in changing the expression but not the sequence. Factors That affect such changes present both within and outside the cell.

It is a result of the silencing of either maternal or paternal alleles in a pair. This occurs random and leads to phenomenon like X-inactivation. The mechanism involves methylation of the DNA to be silenced. paternal copy of UBE3A is silenced in neurons.

Black death, also known as the bubonic plague was one of the worst pandemics that ever happened, killing around 1/3 of Europe's population. It spread to Europe in the mid 1300's from China.

Black death victims were treated through magic, witchcraft, prayer and other methods. As for the two other options, they used medicine, but not antibiotics and radiation hadn't been discovered yet (it was discovered in the 1900's)

In which process CO2, is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B) Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks glucose into two pyruvate molecules. Pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl CoA and the reaction occurs in the matrix of mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, acetyl CoA enters Kreb's cycle and is broken down into CO2 and H2O. For one molecule of acetyl CoA, two molecules of CO2 are released as a by-product. Therefore, out of three carbon atoms of pyruvate, two are released as CO2 during Kreb's cycle.
