The BRCA-1 genes in humans encode proteins that have role in maintaining DNA stability. Mutation in this gene results in formation of non-functional protein, which is not able to repair damaged DNA, resulting in a significantly increased risk of breast cancer. BRCA-1 is a/an: Group of answer choices Proto-oncogene Homeotic gene Oncogene Tumor suppressor gene
Answer:
tumor suppressor gene
Explanation:
A tumor suppressor gene is capable of modulating cellular processes during cell division and/or replication, thereby avoiding uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor development. For example, the p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes a protein (p53) which is well known to regulate critical cellular processes such as, for example, cell cycle arrest and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Moreover, breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor suppressor genes that regulate the repair of damaged DNA through the Homologous recombination (HR) pathway. In consequence, mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can increase the risk of developing breast cancer.
Difference between plants in a tropical location, a temperate location, or the tundra?
Answer:
a tropical location as an area near the equator a temperate location is any area that that lies between the tropical and polar zones and a tundra is the coldest of all the biomes.

Excessive sugar intake is related to development of dental caries because
A. oral bacteria produce acids that dissolve tooth enamel when they metabolize sugars.
B. sugar leaches calcium and phosphorus out of teeth.
C. salivary amylase dissolves tooth enamel during carbohydrate digestion.
D. sugars make the saliva more alkaline, causing damage to tooth enamel.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Dental caries is a chronic dynamic disease or process that occurs in the tooth structure in contact with microbial deposits. Among the factors that favor the development of dental caries is the excessive consumption of simple sugars. The sugars consumed with the diet constitute the substrate of the oral microflora and initiate the process of cariogenesis. Streptococcus can ferment sugars in the diet to produce primarily lactic acid as the end product of metabolism. This lowers the pH and demineralizes tooth enamel. Cariogenic microorganisms are characterized because they are capable of transporting carbohydrates in competition with other microorganisms, which could be present in the plaque; the rapid fermentation capacity of this substrate made up of sugars and starch and its acidic capacity - acid products - and acidic acid - capable of performing various functions under conditions of extreme acidity. The marked decrease in pH will contribute to the demineralization of the tooth, favoring the appearance of carious lesions in hard tissues: enamel, dentin and cementum.
.Discuss the THREE types of evidences of evolution to show that all organisms are related to each other: fossil record, comparative anatomy, AND molecular evidence. ALSO, give an example of each.
Answer:
1. fossil record:
Fossils are organisms that get buried in sedimentary rocks. These are formed at different times. The study of fossils existing in the different rock layers indicates the time period when they existed. Thus different life forms have been formed at different times in the history of the earth.
fossil bird Archaeopteryx is considered as a connecting link between reptiles and birds indicating that birds evolved from reptiles.
2 comparative anatomy:
Homologous organs - such organs that have different embryonic origins but play different roles.
The forelimbs of whale, bat, deer, rabbit
Homologous organs - such organs that are the same in structure and embryonic origin but play similar roles.
wings of a bird and wings of the insect. The wings of the birds are modified
3. DNA sequence can be helpful in finding relations among organisms. Biogeography also helps in identifying the geographical distribution of organisms, to know how and when species may have evolved.
A triplet of bases in a template strand of DNA is GAT. What would be the corresponding codon for mRNA?
СТА
CUA
CTU
CUA (This one is wrong)
I don't know why there are two CUAs, but if someone could please help. This is confusing for me. Please explain & no false answers. Thanks much in advance!
Answer:
CUA
Explanation:
Chances are your teacher accidentally put the same option twice and marked one of em incorrect. You infact selected the correct answer because CUA is correct.
DNA has 4 bases: ATGC (Apples on Trees = A - T, & Cows eat Grass = C-G)
RNA has 4 bases: AUGC (RNA lacks the base T so A binds with U instead).
So for template strand GAT, the mRNA made from this codon has complimentary pairing based on RNA so G binds with C, A binds with U, and T binds with A.
A triplet of bases in a template strand of DNA is GAT, the corresponding codon for mRNA - CTU
DNA is a two-stranded molecule. Each strand is a polynucleotide composed of A (adenosine), T (thymidine), C (cytidine), and G (guanosine) in a sequence.
Adenine always bonds with thymine, and guanine only bonds with cytosine. In RNA however, uracil is substituted for thymine instead. So, in transcription, adenine turns into thymine, and guanine turns into cytosine, and vice-versa.
Thus, A triplet of bases in a template strand of DNA is GAT, the corresponding codon for mRNA - CTU

Amal was on a picnic to Hatta with his parents and family friends. While playing, he collected some muddy water from the Wadi in his beaker, which he wanted to make pure and clean. A) What do you think will happen to the mud in his beaker if left overnight? B) What is this process called?
Answer:
See the answers below
Explanation:
A) The mud in Amal's beaker will settle down at the bottom of the muddy water if left overnight with clear water occupying the surface. This is because the particles of mud are insoluble in water and will settle down at the bottom of the muddy water if left undisturbed for a while.
B) The process is called sedimentation. The settled mud particles are referred to as the sediments and the clear water at the top can be decanted off to separate the sediment from the water.

Describe how pollution can cause acid rain, and how acid rain affects the ecosystems of surrounding areas?
Pollution specifically air pollution can cause acid. Gases such as sulphur (IV) oxide and Nitrogen (IV) oxide when they are released into the atmosphere and comes into contact with precipitation, that is rain water causes acid rain. Sulphurous acid and Nitric acid is formed thus the rain falls in acidic form.
Acid rain when it falls on the leaves of the flora (plants) causes removal of the green colouring matter (chlorophyll) thus making plants to be deficient of food. Food in plants is made my the process of photosynthesis, removal of chlorophyll in plants kills them due to lack of food.
Also when acid rain finds it's way into the water bodies through surface runoff, aquatic animals such as fishes die due to lack of favourable environment and oxygen deficiency in water. Acidity in the soil also kills important decomposers therefore soil aeration is altered.

If you are interested in the evolutionary relationship of animals that have four limbs, which of the following would be the outgroup? Group of answer choices Sharks Ray-Finned Fish Amphibians Crocodiles Dinosaurs
Answer:
First outgroup → Ray-Finned FishesSecond outgroup → SharksExplanation:
The outgroup is the most distant taxonomic group that shares no traits or characters with the lineages of interest, which compose the ingroup. You can compare the outgroup with the ingroup to determine the evolutive relationship and which characters are primitive or derived.
Even though the outgroup shares a common ancestor with the ingroup, this is placed far away in evolution, making the outgroup to be the taxonomic group less related to the other lineages. The lineages in the ingroup share another common ancestor that is more recent in history.
To select the outgroup, you need to focus on what you are interested in. There might be several outgroups, but you should choose the one that is more related or closer to the ingroups. This selection is important because you need to make comparisons to understand the evolution of specific traits.
In the exposed example, we need to focus on animals that have four limbs. Then, we might assume that the ingroup is composed of Amphibians Crocodiles Dinosaurs. Sharks and Ray-Finned Fish do not have four limbs, so they might be considered outgroups.
From these two outgroups, sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton, while Ray-Finned Fishes have a bony skeleton. This fact makes ray-finned fishes more related to the ingroup than the sharks. So,
First outgroup → Ray-Finned FishesSecond outgroup → SharksLee has difficulty seeing the board when he sits at the back of the class.

What different gland and hormones are involved in the production of amino acids
Answer:
Amino acid generated from tyrosines and tryptophan (end in '-ine') and includes adrenaline and norepinephrine. The (produced by the adrenal medulla). Thyroxine (production from the thyroid gland) and melatonin are also included in the amino acid hormones (produced by the pineal gland).
Explanation:
The main control over hormone production and release is negative feedback. The stimulation causes the release of a chemical in negative feedback systems; once it reaches a specific level, the substance sends a signal stopping further discharge.
This ensures a narrow range of the levels of hormones in the blood.
For example, blood glucose is controlled via negative feedback to secrete insulin and glucagons.

In interstitial growth of cartilage ______. Multiple choice question. only new cells are produced only new matrix is produced news cells and new matrix are produced
Answer:
The correct answer is ''news cells and new matrix are produced''
Explanation:
Interstitial growth consists of the production of new layers of cartilage in the inner layer of the perichondrium. This process occurs because chondrocytes meet in the form of small groups, called isogens or cell nests, they are capable of dividing and the cartilaginous matrix is distensible. Daughter cells initially occupy the same gap but as they secrete new intercellular matrix they separate. These daughter cells can divide again, forming so-called isogenic groups, which are frequently found in growing cartilage.
