Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.
Explanation:
Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.
The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.
Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.
In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
Giraffes and Elephants: Giraffes have adapted a long neck over time letting them eat and access food allowing them to survive. If a dry season was unusually long they would succeed fine because they are able to eat and drink from the trees. Elephants have survived with similar tactics of eating higher up, they have rough skin allowing them to outlast the heat, and only need water after long periods of time.
Answer:
Absence seizures
Explanation:
This is a type of seizure also known as ( Petit Mal seizures).It is common in children, (between 4-14 years) and characterised with intent stare at empty space for few seconds(which may occur in 10 -100 times in a day) and does not caused any significant harm.However,with frequent occurrence it may affect concentration.It does not exceed <u>15 seconds</u>
it is caused by repeated electrical signals in the brain due to interference in the synaptic transmission and also to alterations in levels of Neurotransmitters .
Staring into empty space,
Fluttering of eyelids
Intermittent stoppage of speech are some of the symptoms.
Treatment is with medications.,
