A cactus can either have long needles (L) or short needles (). A cactus

Biology

Ugo [173]3 years ago

Your answer will be C.

Why? Because the question tells you that the cactus L's mean that they are long and as shown in the first box there are only 2 long ones. The (I) means that it's short and as shown on the second, third and forth box it shows that there are 3 short (I).

Hope this helps.

In colorectal cancer, some tumor suppressor genes are inactive. This is an important factor resulting in uncontrolled cell divis
tresset_1 [31]

Answer/Explanation:

(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein

To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.

To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.

(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.

To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.

To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR

Placing a catheter into the aorta or directly into an artery or vein is called
Iteru [2.4K]
Nonselective catheter placement

 This can also be placed only into the aorta from any approach. Catheter placed into the arterial vessel and not manipulated to another arterial site. This also refers to the catheter that remains in the accessed vessel or that has made it into the aorta. In contrast to the selective catheter placement which is placed into a branch off the aorta or access the vessel. Each vessel arise from the aorta represents different vascularities.
