Transposable elements can induce mutations by all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT: disrupting a gene when inserted into it. facilitating recombination between transposons, producing chromosomal mutations. producing double-stranded breaks during excision, leading to chromosomal mutations. Activating genes with their own promoter, dysregulating them.
Answer:
Activating genes with their own promoter, dysregulating them.
Explanation:
Transposable Elements (TEs), also known as transposons, mobile elements or jumping genes, are genetic sequences able to move within a host genome by a mechanism called 'transposition'. As a result of their transposition, TEs may cause diverse genetic alterations and disrupt host gene expression at the integration site. Some of the most common deleterious effects induced by TE transposition include, among others, insertional mutagenesis, duplicated sequences, chromosome translocations, etc. Moreover, although it has been shown that some types of TEs contain transcription factor binding sites (as well as cis-regulatory motifs), they don't have promoter sequences that activate host gene expression upon TE transposition.

The incidence of V. vulnificus infections is increasing, especially in northern parts of the United States, compared to 20 years ago. Can you think of any reason why this might be happening?
Answer:
The effects of climate change may be associated with the increased incidence of V. vulnificus infection
Explanation:
Vibrio vulnificus is a harmful bacterium that causes a serious disease due to eating contaminated seafood, which is the main cause of seafood-related deaths in the USA. V. vulnificus is naturally present in the flora of coastal waters around the world and this bacterium has been isolated from a variety of seafood (e.g.., fish, oysters, shrimp, etc). Epidemiologic studies have shown that the incidence of V. vulnificus infection has increased dramatically since 1996. During this same period, climate change has been responsible for the increase in salinity and temperature of the coastal waters (i.e., the natural habitat of this bacterium). In consequence, it is reasonable to suppose that the change in climatic conditions may be associated with the increased incidence of V. vulnificus infection.
What was happening in history when this mutation took off in parts of Europe and Africa?
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I’M REALLY STRUGGLING
Answer:seventy-seven thousand years ago, a craftsman sat in a cave in a limestone cliff overlooking the rocky coast of what is now the Indian Ocean. It was a beautiful spot, a workshop with a glorious natural picture window, cooled by a sea breeze in summer, warmed by a small fire in winter. The sandy cliff top above was covered with a white-flowering shrub that one distant day would be known as blombos and give this place the name Blombos Cave.

Compare the reactants and products in the chemical equations below. Which statement best describes the relation between matter and energy?
Answer and Explanation:
Chemical reactions are very complex processes which include the collision of molecules. During the chemical reactions, bonds between the breakdown of the atom and transformed in new ways. The chemical compounds that react together during the chemical reactions are called reactants, shown on the left side of the equation. They are broken down during the reaction and used as the reaction progresses. The chemical compounds that are formed from the rearrangement and breakdown of the reactants are called products. The products are shown on the right side of the chemical equation. As compare to the reactants, the products are more stable molecules. For example, in the reaction between H2SO4 and Zn, these two chemicals are the reactants, while ZnSO4 and H2 are the chemical reaction products.
Zn + H2SO4 ZnSO4 + H2
(Reactants) (Products)
The matter is a material that everything is made of matter. A property that matter has is known as energy. The same quantity of matter can have a diverse quantity of energy. Both energy and matter are identical. For example, if we add some energy into an ice cube, it will turn into liquid. After that, if we add more energy, liquid will turns into steam.
What has to happen to atmospheric
nitrogen in order for it to become
available to plants?
Answer:
To be used by plants, the N2 must be transformed through a process called nitrogen fixation. Fixation converts nitrogen in the atmosphere into forms that plants can absorb through their root systems.

What is phagocytosis in regard to the immune system of humans?
Answer:
Phagocytosis is the process of introducing larger particles into a larger cell. The process takes place by twisting the cell membrane of the "host" and enveloping the particles with a phagocytic bubble. Leukocytes use phagocytosis to take in and incapacitate bacteria that enter our body, so phagocytosis plays an important role in the immune system, as it prevents harmful cells from affecting humans.
Answer:
the process by which neutrophils ingest a bacterium
Explanation:
Neutrophils ingest bacteria via a process known as phagocytosis, or "cell eating." (also, I took the quiz)

Imagine that you are standing in a field and you see a group of butterflies. You notice an individual butterfly that looks significantly different from the others in the population. Its difference allows the butterfly to escape predation more efficiently than the other butterflies. How might this trait have arisen in the individual
Answer:
Explanation:
Mutation is a sudden change in the genome of an organism that is heritable.
Mutation occur due to a spontaneous change in the sequence of a gene, it can occur during DNA (deoxyribonucliec acid) replication, mitosis, meiosis. Some mutation are beneficial, some are detrimental while some could be deleterious. Mutation is a rare occurrence usually one in several hundreds or thousand
The unique traits that was reveal in the bird is due to mutation, it is beneficial because it kept it away from predation it is a rare case.
Why does Type 1 diabetes result in high blood pressure?
HELP!!!
Explanation:
Some diabetics neglect to take insulin doses specified for them throughout the day or follow some wrong practices that reduce its effectiveness, which causes a decline in its role in processing glucose to produce the energy needed to perform daily activities, which leads to its deposition in the bloodstream.

An example of a(n) is the brain, spinal cord, and nerves working together.
Answer:
system
Explanation:
An example of an organ system is the brain, spinal cord, and nerves working together.
A system is a level of organization in living organisms in which body organs work together to perform similar functions. The organ system represents the highest level of body organization as opposed to organ, tissue, and cell level of organization.
The cell is the smallest unit of organization of the body of living organisms. At the tissue level, cells aggregate together to perform similar functions while at the organ level, similar tissues come together to perform somewhat similar roles in the body of organisms.
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves each represent an organ. When these work together in the body of organisms, the level of organization is described as organ systems or simply systems.
What is the correct "height" or "size" for a piece of oils rigs to become a candidate for "rigs to reef." Remember, oil rigs can be cut into different sizes or parts.
Answer and Explanation:
An oil rig is a type of piston ring which is situated in the ring grooves. The oil ring is commonly used on small engines to wipe excess oil from the wall of the cylinder during the piston's movement. Through the opening of rings, excess oil returned to the oil reservoir. These rings are not used on the two-stroke cycle engines. These rings are one-piece or two-piece. An oil ring seals the combustion chamber through inherent pressure and controlling the consumption of oil. The inherent pressure of the oil ring is very high on the piston. These rings use an expander, high-pressure unit and inherent pressure. The oil rings are also used to spread the oil around the liner surface. These rings can be cut into various sizes. An oil ring has an axial.
The color of a light wave is determined by its wavelength. On the COLOR tab, slowly drag the Light wavelength slider back and forth and observe the effect on oxygen production. How does the color of light affect the rate of photosynthesis
Answer:
The color of light determines how effective chlorophyll pigment will be at absorbing light.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a metabolic process that requires light, which is an electromagnetic radiation. Light on the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by wavelength. Each region/color of light occurs at a specific wavelength.
Hence, chlorophyll pigment, which is the major photosynthetic pigment effectively absorbs blue and red light in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Hence, the rate of photosynthesis will be affected negatively if the color of light is not the one stated above.

(20 POINTS) How would your body repair a skinned knee?
Answer:
As soon as you cut or scrape skin anywhere on your body, special blood cells called platelets spring into action. Platelets stick together like glue at the cut, forming a clot. This clot is like a protective bandage over your cut that keeps more blood and other fluids from flowing out.
