Scientists know that a mutation - or alteration - in a particular gene's DNA may contribute to a certain disease. However, it can be very difficult to develop a test to detect these mutations, because most large genes have many regions where mutations can occur. For example, researchers believe that mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 cause as many as 60 percent of all cases of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. But there is not one specific mutation responsible for all of these cases. Researchers have already discovered over 800 different mutations in BRCA1 alone.
The DNA microarray is a tool used to determine whether the DNA from a particular individual contains a mutation in genes like BRCA1and BRCA2. The chip consists of a small glass plate encased in plastic. Some companies manufacture microarrays using methods similar to those used to make computer microchips. On the surface, each chip contains thousands of short, synthetic, single-stranded DNA sequences, which together add up to the normal gene in question, and to variants (mutations) of that gene that have been found in the human population.
Answer:
- sporangia , zygospore
- Basidiomycota
- hyphae, mycellium
- lichen
- mycorrhiza
- Ascomycota
Explanation:
1. Zygomycetes reproduce asexually through the haploid spores formed in sporangia, or sexually through diploid nuclei formed in zygospore.
2. Basidiomycota are called club fungi because they produce club-shaped reproductive structures like toadstools.
3. The vegetative body of most fungi is called a hyphae, which consists of an interwoven mass of threadlike filaments called mycelium.
4. A lichen is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a single-celled alga or cyanobacteria. The fungus protects the photosynthesizer from harsh conditions while consuming the extra nutrients it produces.
5. A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a plant. The fungus receives energy-rich sugar molecules produced by the plant while passing minerals and nutrients from the soil to the root.
6. Ascomycota, also known as sac fungi, include morels, yeasts, and the species that produces penicillin.
Explanation:
I don't think he provided all the information or some words are misspelled
Answer:
Mangrove forest
Explanation:
Mangrove forest exist only in high saline environment. Lake is a closed type body of water so it is expected with the least variation of salinity.
Produces water should be in the only aerobic section of the diagram. Aerobic respiration end products are carbon dioxide and water. Anaerobic respiration end products are lactic acid in animals and carbon dioxide and ethanol in yeast and plants. (:
