Explain what a karyotype is and

Biology
1 answer:
mezya [45]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Clinical cytogeneticists analyze human karyotypes to detect gross genetic changes—anomalies involving several megabases or more of DNA. Karyotypes can reveal changes in chromosome number associated with aneuploid conditions, such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).

Karyotype is a test to identify and evaluate the size, shape, and number of chromosomes in a sample of body cells. Extra or missing chromosomes, or abnormal positions of chromosome pieces, can cause problems with a person's growth, development, and body functions.

How plastics are harmful for environment​
liberstina [14]
Plastic can lead to the destruction of habitats and wildlife. In the ocean, many sea animals and birds are dying from choking on these toxins. It can take hundreds or even thousands of years to break down the plastic, causing the environmental damage to be long lasting.

Word bank: sugar, carbon dioxide, light energy, oxygen, atp, water
statuscvo [17]
My guess is that you're wanting the formula for respiration (which is basically the opposite of the formula for photosynthesis)?
So on the left (reactant/inputs) side should be: sugar and oxygen
On the right (products/outputs) side should be:
Carbon dioxide, water, light energy/ATP

Mutations in DNA include deletions and insertions. These types of mutations:
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

____ 15. which excretory organ eliminates water and some chemical wastes in perspiration?
Nastasia [14]
I think the answer is skin. Skin contains sweat glands which secrete a fluid waste called sweat or perspiration; nonetheless, its primary functions are temperature control and release of pheromone. Its role as a part of the excretory is therefore minimal. Additionally, sweating also maintains the levels of salt in the body.
