Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Some examples of primary succession include the formation of a new ecosystem after a volcano, glacier outbursts, or a nuclear explosion. Some examples of secondary succession include succession after a fire, harvesting, logging, or abandonment of land, or the renewal after a disease outbreak.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. Epstein-Barr virus: virus visible inside red blood cells.

Explanation:

The Epstein-Barr virus is a virus or virions that cause several serious diseases such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and kind of cancers. These viruses can be detected by the making smear of blood in the electron microscope.

The electron microscope shows round capsids that have protein encased genetically material that is loosely enclosed in a membrane. These are transmitted through saliva generally.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

Briefly describe how amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling are used in genetic screening.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Amniocentesis is an invasive method that involves the aspiration of 10-20 ml of fetal water through the abdominal wall under ultrasound-guided control. In most cases, the procedure is performed around the 16th week of gestation. The fetal water sample contains fetal cells, mostly cells of fetal skin and the epithelium of the urinary tract.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) biopsy is performed between weeks 11 and 12 of gestation. During biopsy, with ultrasound guidance, the tissue of the chorionic fossa is aspirated mainly across the abdomen (transabdominal pathway). The biopsy specimen is of fetal origin and belongs to the outer layer of blastocyst cells or the trophoblast (outer layer of the placenta). Very often, the biopsy specimen contains tissue of the decidua (mucous membrane of the uterus) that is of maternal origin, and it is necessary to remove the maternal tissue before any treatment of the sample.

Explanation:

The amniocentesis procedure carries a risk of miscarriage of 0.5-1%.  After aspiration of the fruit of the water, the sample is centrifuged to separate the cells from the amniotic fluid. Separate cells are seeded on a nutrient medium (cell culture) that stimulates cell growth. After about 14 days, the cell culture is further used for various genetic or biochemical analyzes such as karyotyping.

The advantage of chorionic biopsy is the amount of biological material, which is sufficient for the whole a number of different laboratory procedures. Also, a great advantage is the timing of the procedure as it allows diagnosis in the first trimester of pregnancy, but the chorionic biopsy procedure itself carries a risk of miscarriage of 1-2%.

Researchers are studying the abnormal activity of kinases in relation to cancer. Theoretically, how might researchers use signal
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that the answer is A.

Explanation:

Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.

I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or  growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that  leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!
