Answer:

Deletion of a DNA base from a gene affects an organism by changing the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

Explanation:

A DNA fragment forms a gene, with a specific sequence of nitrogenous bases, which determines the synthesis of a specific protein. When a deletion of a base occurs in such a gene, it affects:

  • Transcription of the mRNA, which will have the sequence of altered bases.
  • During translation, the mRNA codons will encode at least one different amino acid.
  • The structure of the synthesized protein, which will be altered by changes in its amino acid sequence.

In summary, the <u>deletion of a base in the DNA</u><u> will affect the </u><u>protein</u><u> to be synthesized by </u><u>changing the amino acid sequence</u><u> of its structure</u>.

The other options are not possible, because the deletion of a base in the DNA of a gene

<em>     Does not influence the number of chromosomes that the gametes will have. </em>

<em>     It does not produce long chains in the chromosomes. </em>

<em>     It does not affect the ribose structure of the nucleic acids.</em>

Write a paragraph on how Blood Glucose goes with Negative Feedback
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Here are some explanations from 0nline so if you want rewrite in your own words

hope this helps  :))

blood glucose-

"The control of blood sugar (glucose) by insulin is a good example of a negative feedback mechanism. When blood sugar rises, receptors in the body sense a change. In turn, the control center (pancreas) secretes insulin into the blood effectively lowering blood sugar levels."

"If the blood glucose level is too low, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon. This travels to the liver in the blood and causes the break-down of glycogen into glucose. The glucose enters the blood stream and glucose levels increase back to normal. This is an example of negative feedback."

body temperature-

" Body temperature is regulated by negative feedback. The stimulus is when the body temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius, the sensors are the nerve cells with endings in the skin and brain, the control is the temperature regulatory center in the brain, and the effector is the sweat glands throughout the body."

"Body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain. If the hypothalamus detects that the body is too hot, the response is that the body begins to sweat to try and reduce the temperature back to the correct level."

"Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances."

"Negative feedback brings a system back to its level of normal functioning. Adjustments of blood pressure, metabolism, and body temperature are all negative feedback"

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A) The two genes are unlinked and are assorting independently, leading to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring.

Explanation:

The χ2 value means nothing on its own--it is used to find the probability that, assuming the hypothesis is true, the observed data set could have resulted from random fluctuations. A low probability suggests the observed data is not consistent with the hypothesis, and thus the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis that you are testing are two genes are unlinked and are assorting independently, leading to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring.

During photosynthesis, the energy used to pump protons comes from ___________, whereas in cellular respiration it comes from ___
Annette [7]

During photosynthesis, the energy used to pump protons comes from ______light_____, whereas in cellular respiration it comes from ______NADH/FADH₂_______.

<h3>What are the steps in photosynthesis?</h3>
  1. The first step in photosynthesis is the absorption of light by chlorophyll bound to chloroplast thylakoid proteins. The absorbed light energy is used to remove electrons from electron donors such as water to form oxygen.
  2. The electrons are then transferred to the primary electron acceptor, quinine (Q.). Electrons are further transferred from the primary electron acceptor to the final electron acceptor (usually NADP⁺).
  3. Proton transfer from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma via the F₀F₁ complex generates ATP from ADP and Pi.
  4. The NADP and ATP produced in steps 2 and 3 provide the energy, and the electrons power the process of reducing the carbon to a six-carbon sugar molecule.

The first three steps of photosynthesis, are directly dependent on light energy and are thus, called light reactions, while the reactions in the last step are independent of light and thus are termed dark reactions.
