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?

Arlecino [84]2 years ago
3 0

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.

Thesis statement: People view transgender people as if they have an advantage when it comes to sports. Transgender women should be aloud to join a biological female sport because at the end of the day they are a female and we have to accept that.

this is you’re own opinion so i can’t really tell you what to exactly write, just write what you think and you’ll be okay.

Five ch2 groups bonded in a ring" describes the structure of _____.
levacccp [35]
I think they describe a structure of cyclopentane. Cyclopentane is a highly flammable alicyclic hydrocarbon with a chemical formula C₅H₁₀, consisting of a ring of five carbon atoms each bonded to hydrogen atoms above and below the plane. It occurs as a colorless liquid with a petrol-like odor.

Olympic athletes train in Colorado Springs, Colorado because this location is at high altitude and near the 14,000 foot Pikes Pe
Stels [109]

Answer:

A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.

Explanation:

<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.

One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.

The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase

<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>

The correct option is A.

The potential must be strong enough to send a(n) potential to the CNS.
salantis [7]

It is true that the potential must be strong enough to send a potential to the CNS. The stronger the potential, the more it will excite the transmitter in relaying the message to another neuron, therefore, if this happens, the more will it be easier to pass the message.
