How does gene therapy work to reverse the causes of cancer we learned about today?

Biology
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In gene transfer, researchers introduce a foreign gene directly into cancer cells or into surrounding tissue. The goal is that the newly inserted gene will cause the cancer cells to die or prevent cancer cells and surrounding tissue from funneling blood to tumors, depriving them of nutrients they need for survival.

What is the explanation of why avery, macleod, and mccarty's in vitro transformation experiment showed that dna, but not rna or
astraxan [27]

The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the  Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

How does static electricity work?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

"Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. One way to discharge them is through a circuit. ... Remember, objects with the same charge repel each other."  ~  www.loc.gov

Essentially saying that if you have a lot of friction, it will create a positive and negative electric charge, this electric charge also contains a small magnetic field which is static electricity.

Understanding what you do about the structure of DNA so far, do you think that every organism's DNA will look and act the same?
Over [174]
Every organism’s DNA will not look and act the exact same way. If the parent reproduces asexually is the only exception to that rule. However, if all organism’s DNA resembled and acted as a deer’s DNA, then all organisms would be deer. Therefore, there are genetic differences that separate species and ensure different behaviors from organism to organism. While the DNA will be similar by using the same four nucleic bases, there is an entirely different combination of those bases from organism to organism.

Crickets "chirp" by rubbing their wings or legs over each other. This phenomenon is known as stridulation. It is a means by whic
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

a. As the temperature rises, the cricket chirp occurs more rapidly therefore increasing. It is correct.

b. As the humidity rises, the cricket chirp frequency occurs more rapidly therefore increasing. It is incorrect. The increase in humidity does not affect the chirp frequency in crickets.

Explanation:

As temperature increases, the frequency of cricket chirp increases too. After listening to the audios, we can see that in the first audio, where the temperature is 14° Celcius, the frequency is 24 chirps in 15 seconds. In the second audio, with 19° Celcius, the frequency is 28 chirps in 15 seconds. In the last audio, where the temperature is 24° Celcius, the chirp's frequency is 34 chirps in 15 seconds. In conclusion, if the temperature increases, the chirps' frequency increases too.

As humidity increases, the frequency of the chirp does not. In the three audios, the number of chirps in 15 seconds was 20. We can conclude that humidity does not affect the frequency of chirps frequency.
