Answer:

Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera, are a basal animal clade as a sister of the Diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells

Guys! i need URGENT help!
zepelin [54]

Answer:

When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, the water becomes more acidic and the ocean’s pH (a measure of how acidic or basic the ocean is) drops. Even though the ocean is immense, enough carbon dioxide can have a major impact. In the past 200 years alone, ocean water has become 30 percent more acidic, faster than any known change in ocean chemistry in the last 50 million years.

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

You perform the following dihybrid cross: A blaBx Ab/aB. The A and B genes control different traits. What phenotypic ratio would
Luda [366]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

In the given question the genotype of parental allele is- AbaB X AbaB. The alleles formed will be- AB, Ab,aB, ab in which the crossover allele will be AB and ab.

1. Unlinked genes

Now of these alleles are unlinked then the alleles will assort independently of each other therefore performing the punnett square we will get dihybrid ratio as 9:3:3:1 in which  

1. A_B_ are 9

2. aaB_ are 3

3. A_bb are-3

4. aabb- 1

Since the crossover allele are AB and ab therefore A_B_ are 9 and aabb- 1 represent recombinant genotype.

2. Linked genes

When the genes will be linked then chances of crossing over will be reduced as a result of which only two type of allele will be formed which are-  Ab and aB and the recombinant frequency will become less.

Crossing these allele will  form Aabb , AaBb , AaBb  and aaBB  genotypes. The recombinant ratio will decrease as A_B_ is 2 and aabb is not present.

Thus, option-4 which states that the unlinked ration is  9:3:3:1  and linked ratio is  <9: >3: >3: <1 is correct.
