Why Poaching is illegal?

Poaching is the act of illegally killing an animal. The very prominent subject of poaching is the rhino, some species of which are now virtually extinct due to extensive illegal hunting. However, many other animals are also poached. For example, elephants are poached for the ivory in their tusks. Tigers are poached as trophy animals or for traditional medicine. Sea turtles and lemurs also suffer a similar fate for similar reasons.

Thus, option "D" is correct.

Describe what happens to DNA during the S stage of interphase.

Answers

The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.

The TAS2R38 gene encodes a receptor protein that influences the ability to taste bitterness. The gene has two alleles: a dominant, wild-type allele that enables an individual (taster) to taste bitterness and a recessive, mutant allele that interferes with the ability of an individual (nontaster) to taste bitterness. In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, approximately how many individuals in the sample are expected to be heterozygous for TAS2R38

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1133.

Explanation:

According to H-W equilibrium;

p2 +2pq + q2 = 1 ........... eq.1   and

(p+q)2 = 1 ..............eq.2

Here q = frequency of the recessive allele,

and p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

The genotype of p2 + 2pq shows the dominant(taster) phenotype.

The genotype of q2 shows the recessive(non-taster) phenotype.

q^2 = (2400 - 1482)/2400

= 0.3825  

= 0.618

using eq. 2 we get p= 1-q

=0.382

2pq = No. of heterozygotes/2400

No. of heterozygotes = 1133.1648

The stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a light microscope.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

The cell division that takes place during the growth and development of an organism is in an as MITOSIS. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells that is, body cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. The difference stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a LIGHT MICROSCOPE. These stages includes:

--> PROPHASE: when viewed under a light microscope, each chromosome shortens and thickens and is seen to consist of two chromatids. The Centriole begin to separate.

--> METAPHASE: The nuclear membrane disappears, a spindle forms, the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle fibres at their centromeres.

--> ANAPHASE: The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of cell as the spindle fibres contract.

--> TELOPHASE: A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.


What is the function of histones- proteins that aide in dna replication

Answers

Answer:

Nucleosomes in turn are wrapped into 30-nanometer fibers that form tightly packed chromatin. Histones prevent DNA from becoming tangled and protect it from DNA damage. In addition, histones play important roles in gene regulation and DNA replication. Without histones, unwound DNA in chromosomes would be very long.

g It was noted in the Experimental Pathways feature in Section 10.4 that at least two- thirds of the human genome is derived from transposable elements. The actual number could be much higher, but it is impossible to make a determination about the origin of many other sequences. Why do you suppose it is difficult to make assignments about the origin of many of the sequences in the human genome

Answers

Answer:

TEs are repetitive and mobile elements, thereby it is hard to trace their origins  

Explanation:

Repetitive elements are patterns of nucleotide sequences in the DNA characterized to have multiple copies throughout the genome. DNA mini-satellite and Transposable Elements (TEs) are some examples of highly repetitive DNA. TEs are repetitive mobile elements that have the ability to jump within the genome and occupy a major part of eukaryotic genomes. For instance, there is a type of TEs called retrotransposons which mobilize through a copy-and-paste mechanism, thus increasing their number in a genome. In consequence, TEs represent highly repetitive and dynamic genomic sequences, and thereby it is hard to trace their evolutionary histories.

Describe DNA synthesis in detail

Answers

Answer:

DNA synthesis is the biological process by which a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created. In the cell, each of the two strands of the DNA molecule acts as a template for the synthesis of a complementary strand.

Answer:

The discovery of the double-helical nature of DNA by Watson & Crick explained how genetic information could be duplicated and passed on to succeeding generations. The strands of the double helix can separate and serve as templates for the synthesis of daughter strands. In conservative replication the two daughter strands would go to one daughter cell and the two parental strands would go to the other daughter cell. In semiconservative replication one parental and one daughter strand would go to each of the daughter cells.

Through experimentation it was determined that DNA replicates via a semiconservative mechanism. There are three possible mechanisms that can explain DNA's semiconservative replication.

(a) DNA synthesis starts at a specific place on a chromosome called an origin. In the first mechanism one daughter strand is initiated at an origin on one parental strand and the second is initiated at another origin on the opposite parental strand. Thus only one strand grows from each origin. Some viruses use this type of mechanism.

(b) In the second mechanism replication of both strands is initiated at one origin. The site at which the two strands are replicated is called the replication fork. Since the fork moves in one direction from the origin this type of replication is called unidirectional. Some types of bacteria use this type of mechanism.

(c) In the third mechanism two replication forks are initiated at the origin and as synthesis proceeds the two forks migrate away from one another. This type of replication is called bi-directional. Most organisms, including mammals, use bi-directional replication.

Answers

(EGS) stands Enhanced Geothermal Systems which can greatly increase geothermal energy utilization. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What is EGS?

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), which are also referred to as engineered geothermal systems on occasion, present a significant opportunity for significantly broadening the application of geothermal energy.

In an EGS, fluid is injected into the subsurface under conditions that are carefully regulated. This causes previously closed cracks to reopen, which in turn creates permeability in the rock. The increased permeability of the rock makes it possible for fluid to move freely within the newly fractured rock and for heat to be transported to the surface, where it can be used to create electricity.

Which of the following is an example of genomic imprinting in humans? Which of the following is an example of genomic imprinting in humans? A random pattern of autosomal allele inactivation is observed. In some allele pairs, only the paternal sourced allele is expressed, and in others, only the maternal sourced allele is expressed. The maternal and paternal alleles of a gene pair are both expressed. Human males have only one Y-chromosome and one X-chromosome. One of the two X-chromosomes in females is randomly expressed and the other is repressed.

Answers

Answer:

In some allele pairs, only the paternal sourced allele is expressed, and in others, only the maternal sourced allele is expressed.

Explanation:

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon where alleles are differentially expressed depending on their parental origin (for example, paternally expressed when it is inherited from the father). Genomic imprinting is controlled by epigenetic modifications (for example, DNA methylation, histone acetylation, etc) which works together to preferentially activate the expression of the allele inherited from one parent and simultaneously silence or “​imprint” the expression of the allele inherited from the other parent. In humans, an example of genomic imprinting is the case of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) gene, which is maternally imprinted (repressed), thereby this gene is only expressed from the paternal allele.

Answers

I am pretty sure it is D slows to zero, don’t get mad at me if I’m wrong I’m pretty sure I am correct though.

In the logistic growth model, as a population approaches the carrying capacity, the growth rate of the population will slow down to zero. Thus, the correct option is D.

What is Logistic growth model?

The logistic growth model is a parameter which represents the rate at which the population would grow if it were unencumbered by the environmental degradation. A second parameter, that is K, represents the carrying capacity of the system of species which are being studied.

In logistic growth, a population's per capita growth rate gets smaller and smaller as the population size when it approaches a maximum imposed by the limited resources in the environment, known as the carrying capacity (K). Exponential growth model produces a J-shaped curve, while logistic growth produces an S-shaped curve.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
