DNA Damage: Causes and Effects
The most significant consequence of oxidative stress in the body is thought to be damage to DNA. DNA may be modified in a variety of ways, which can ultimately lead to mutations and genomic instability. This could result in the development of a variety of cancers including colon, breast, and prostate. Here we discuss the various types of damage to DNA, including oxidative damage, hydrolytic damage, DNA strand breaks, and others.

The greenhouse gas, methane, is released by cattle as a product of their metabolism. What effect would an increase in cattle ran
telo118 [61]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Methane is one of the green house gases, and a very powerful one. It is even more potent at influencing global temperature than the most famous green house gases, CO2. Methane's chemical structure is in a way that gives it the ability to trap heat.

This means that an increased release of methane gas into the atmosphere, which is mostly done when cattles defeacates or passes gas, can drastically influence the warming on Earth.

Compare each patient's cdna sequence to the wild-type cdna sequence. Each patient has one nucleotide-pair substitution mutation.
Lera25 [3.4K]

The mutation is a change in the nucleotidic sequence. In the exposed example, Patient 1: nucleotide 143, T<u>T</u>C⇒T<u>G</u>C. Patient 2: nucleotide 143, T<u>T</u>C⇒T<u>C</u>C. Patient 3: nucleotide 147, TT<u>C</u> ⇒ TT<u>G</u>.

<h3>What is a mutation?</h3>

A mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants.

Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual.

These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

<h3>Solving the problem</h3>

We know that each sequence initiates with nucleotide number 103 and ends in nucleotide 162.

So first, we will number the nucleotides, from 103 to 162. Each nucleotide has a number in increasing order.

Now, we will identify the mutations in each of the strands by comparing them with the wild-type sequence. The mutation occurs in one of the nucleotides, so we must look for the change in the bases.

Finally, we will identify the nucleotide location of each mutation.

                   nucleotide                 wild-type                mutated

<u>                       location                 nucleotide              nucleotide      </u><u>           </u>

Patient 1            143                         TTC                         TGC

Patient 2           143                         TTC                         TCC

<u>Patient 3           147                          TTC                        TTG                         </u>

Explain why a person with nerve damage could lose the ability to control some skeletal muscles
grin007 [14]
The nervous system is responsible for the many actions and movement of the body. It is an organ system that sends and receives, even also influences many cellular and organismic phenomenon.
A nerve damage at a specific area for example a nerve damage was incurred for your right hand, since the nerves in that area were destroyed or were paralyzed the dendrites are unable to receive and the terminal buds are unable to send a specific neurotransmitter called the acetycholine for the muscle cells to initiate and process the enzyme which enables the muscle to interact and react.

Mineral matter and organic matter together make up about 50 percent of soil. What two substances make up the other 50 percent?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

Key Points

The chemical composition of the soil, the topography, and the presence of living organisms determines the quality of soil.

In general, soil contains 40-45% inorganic matter, 5% organic matter, 25% water, and 25% air.

In order to sustain plant life, the proper mix of air, water, minerals, and organic material is required.

Humus, the organic material in soil, is composed of microorganisms (dead and alive) and decaying plants.

The inorganic material of soil is composed of rock, which is broken down into small particles of sand (0.1 to 2 mm), silt (0.002 to 0.1 mm), and clay (less than 0.002 mm).

Loam is a soil that is a mix sand, silt, and humus.

Key Terms

loam: soil with no dominant particle size that contains a mixture of sand, silt, and humus

humus: a large group of natural organic compounds found in the soil composed of decaying plants and dead and living microorganisms

Soil Composition

Plants obtain inorganic elements from the soil, which serves as a natural medium for land plants. Soil is the outer, loose layer that covers the surface of Earth. Soil quality, a major determinant, along with climate, of plant distribution and growth, depends not only on the chemical composition of the soil, but also the topography (regional surface features) and the presence of living organisms.

Soil consists of these major components:

Components of soil: The four major components of soil are shown: inorganic minerals, organic matter, water, and air.

inorganic mineral matter, about 40 to 45 percent of the soil volume

organic matter, about 5 percent of the soil volume

water, about 25 percent of the soil volume

air, about 25 percent of the soil volume

The amount of each of the four major components of soil depends on the quantity of vegetation, soil compaction, and water present in the soil. A good, healthy soil has sufficient air, water, minerals, and organic material to promote and sustain plant life.

The organic material of soil, called humus, is made up of microorganisms (dead and alive), and dead animals and plants in varying stages of decay. Humus improves soil structure, providing plants with water and minerals. The inorganic material of soil is composed of rock, slowly broken down into smaller particles that vary in size. Soil particles that are 0.1 to 2 mm in diameter are sand. Soil particles between 0.002 and 0.1 mm are called silt, and even smaller particles, less than 0.002 mm in diameter, are called clay. Some soils have no dominant particle size, containing a mixture of sand, silt, and humus; these soils are called loams.

Soil Formation

Soil formation is the result of a combination of five factors: parent material, climate, topography, biological factors, and time.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Describe the five factors that account for soil formation

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Key Points

Parent material is the organic and inorganic material from which soil is formed.

Climate factors, such as temperature and wind, affect soil formation and its characteristics; the presence of moisture and nutrients is also needed to form a quality soil.

Topography, or regional surface features, affects water runoff, which strips away parent material and affects plant growth (the steeper the soil, the more erosion takes place).

The presence of microorganisms in soil creates pores and crevices; plants promote the presence of microorganisms and contribute to soil formation.

Soil formation takes place over long periods of time.

Key Terms

rhizosphere: the soil region subject to the influence of plant roots and their associated microorganisms

bedrock: the solid rock that exists at some depth below the ground surface

horizon: a soil layer with distinct physical and chemical properties that differ from those of other layers
