1. The Human Genome Project has demonstrated that in humans of all races and nationalities approximately 99.9 percent of the gen

Answer:

Copy number variations (CNVs)

Explanation:

Copy number variations (CNV) are variations in the number of copies of specific nucleotide sequences present in the genome of organisms of the same species (or closely related species). The Human Genome Project showed that the human genome contains many CNVs, which are caused by duplications and deletions (indels) of large regions of repetitive (non-coding) DNA regions. Since CNV are usually localized in non-coding DNA regions, they generally are evolutionary neutral (i.e., prone to diverge among organisms) and therefore don't affect the phenotype of the individual. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) represent another type of sequence variation that is abundant across the human genome.

Que sucedería con la especie humana si debido a una futura mutación genética sus células no pudieran realizar los procesos de mi
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

la vida no podría continuar sin los procesos de división celular  

Explanation:

La mitosis es el proceso de división celular mediante el cual se producen dos células idénticas a partir de una sola célula. Durante la mitosis la célula crece y duplica la cantidad de ADN, con lo cual exactamente el mismo contenido de información genética es trasmitido a las sucesivas células que el proceso de mitosis va a dar origen. Por otra parte, la meiosis es un proceso celular en el cual se producen dos divisiones nucleares y citoplasmáticas (meiosis I y meiosis II) las cuales son precedidas por una fase de replicación del ADN. En la especie humana, la mitosis da lugar a células diploides (2n) con dos set completos de cromosomas homólogos, mientras que la meiosis da lugar a cuatro células haploides (n) llamadas gametos (el gameto masculino es el espermatozoide y el gameto femenino es el óvulo) las cuales contienen la mitad del número cromosómico al de la célula de origen. En organismos eucariotas pluricelulares tales como la especie humana, la función de la mitosis es producir más células somáticas (soma: cuerpo) con idéntico material genético, mientras que la función de la meiosis es producir células aptas para el proceso de reproducción, es decir, células con la mitad del material genético que se fusionarán para generar una célula diploide o zigoto a partir del cual y mediante sucesivas mitosis se desarrollará un organismo adulto.

You own a winery in Napa Valley. An assistant accidentally leaves the lid for a vat of wine slightly ajar. Would the yeast insid
anastassius [24]

<span>When the lid for a vat of wine is slightly open, the yeast inside can continue to perform alcoholic fermentation because the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during fermentation will act as a blanket over the wine.  Nevertheless, the air around the fermenter must be still and enough carbon dioxide should be produced to continue alcoholic fermentation. However, at some point, carbon dioxide will fall and can no longer protect the wine. This is the right time to get your wine covered before it will be vulnerable to undesirable microorganisms. </span>

Therefore, open fermentation is good in the early stages of fermentation because yeast need oxygen to synthesize sterols and assimilate fatty acids to ensure the nutrients it needs to multiply and ferment the 70% of the sugar from the fruit. Furthermore, the yeast is responsible in decomposing sugar from the grapes into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
