During the Human Genome Project, scientists created a gene map showing the relative location of each known gene on every human c

hromosome. This map led to the discovery that the human genome is made up of about how many genes?

Answer:

Approximately 20,500 genes

Explanation:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year international research effort aimed at determining the entire DNA sequence of the human genome. The HGP was launched in 1990 and completed in April 2013. This project helped to identify and physically map all the genes of the human genome. The sequence obtained from the HGP has been a very useful point of reference in order to identify and characterize mutations associated with genetic disorders. The HGP predicted approximately 20,500 genes (each of them produces an average of three proteins), which are distributed in the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells of our body.

a person's____will be the same on Jupiter and earth, a person's_____will be greater on Jupiter than on earth.​
NemiM [27]

Answer:

A person's mass will be the same on Jupiter and Earth, a person's weight will be greater on Jupiter than on Earth.

Explanation:

Mass is universal, meaning it can't change, but weight is used to measure how heavy something is, so, on a planet like Jupiter, since the gravity is more, you'll weigh more there.

Body cells may produce additional body cells by means of _________. Organisms that reproduce sexually produce gametes by means o
victus00 [196]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

A) mitosis; meiosis

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell produces two daughter cells with equal number of chromosomes as that of parent cell. It is essential in repair of damaged tissue and growth of living organisms. This is because body cells produce additional body cells with same genetic material.

Meiosis is another type of cell division that is specific to the sexually reproducing organisms. It is a reductional division as the diploid parent cell produces four haploid, reproductive cells ( called gametes such as eggs and sperms). This means that gamete formation in sexually reproducing organisms occurs through meiosis.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

aspartate, lysine, arginine and asparagine residues

Explanation:

The activity of adenylyl cyclase (adenylate cyclase) is regulated by the conformation changes on the protein sub-units of the quartenary structure of the enzyme. These consist the amino acid groups that make the structure. For  instance, the amino acid aspartate, lysine, arginine and asparagine all experience change of some sort. The residues stabilize the transition state of the enzyme. The proteins, while the enzyme carries the catalytic activity, mat become slightly mutated.

Kryger [21]

Answer: Option E) Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion engage selective transport proteins to move non-lipid soluble solutes like glucose across the lipid bilayer along concentration gradient (from high to low concentration) without the supply of energy (ATP).

Thus, transport proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer help move large quantities of glucose rapidly in intestinal cells by facilitated diffusion.
