Answer 1

Answer:

The CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system can be used to edit genes and correct mutations associated with inherited diseases. However, this technology also has the potential to edit genes in germline cells in order to irreversibly modify the human species and the natural evolution of life

Explanation:

The CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9) system is a natural prokaryotic defense system used by bacteria to defend against invading DNA. In the laboratory, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been repurposed to create a versatile genome-editing tool that allows us to modify the genome of mammalian cells in a targeted fashion. The CRISPR-Cas9 is a simple gene-editing tool that consists of a single guide RNA (sgRNA) that guides the Cas9 enzyme to the exact genomic location where Cas9 needs to make a cut, which is then repaired by different DNA repair mechanisms. During DNA repair, nucleotides can be replaced and/or deleted, thereby producing desired genomic modifications. The CRISPR-Cas9 has an enormous potential to repair mutations in genes associated with inherited genetic disorders and cancer (i.e., oncogenes might be reversed in vivo by using this technology). However, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system is also a subject of concern due to its dual use. For example, this technology can be used to modify the genome of germline cells by inducing mutations that can be passed across generations, thereby irreversibly modifying human DNA and altering the normal course of evolution.

Scenario 2:

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. Although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. Mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your DNA to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. The results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. If Mike’s DNA showed that he shares similarities in a segment of DNA with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. These tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies.

What does the QRS complex represents as??​

Answers

Answer:give me brainliest

Explanation:

A combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave, the “QRS complex” represents ventricular depolarization. Ventricular depolarization occurs in part via an accessory pathway (AP) directly connecting the atrium and ventricle and thus capable of conducting electrical impulses into the ventricle bypassing the AV-His Purkinje conduction system.This term can be confusing, as not all ECG leads contain all three of these waves; yet a “QRS complex” is said to be present regardless.

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) glial cell

B) interneuron

C) sensory neuron

D) motor neuron.  

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The brain sends instructions to the muscles that control voluntary movement through nerve cells called motor neurons. The function of the motor neuron is basically to carry the information that comes from the descending pathways of the spinal cord, in order to generate an activation in the tissues of the skeletal and visceral muscles of all parts of the body. Motor neurons need the information sent to them by sensory or efferent neurons. Since in order to perform the appropriate muscle movements for the situation, our brain must receive information from the outside. By sending sensory stimulation through interoreceptors, motor neurons can regulate visceral activity, stimulating or inhibiting the activity of their effector tissues. In this way, our nervous system integrates the information from both types of neurons and allows us to move and react according to the demands and circumstances of our external context.

A sample from a stock of a bacterial colony in liquid media was diluted by a factor of 106, and 2 ml of this dilution was spread on a Petri dish of solidified media. 56 colonies were observed. What was the concentration of bacteria of the initial stock?

Answers

Answer:

28 × 10⁶ colonies/ml

Explanation:

Let C be the concentration of bacterial in the initial stock. When it is diluted by a factor of 10⁶, the new concentration is C' = C/10⁶.

When 2 ml of this concentration is spread on a Petri dish of solidified media, 56 colonies were produced. The number of colonies, n after spreading the 2 ml of C' is C' × 2 ml = 2C' = 2C/10⁶.

So, n = 2C/10⁶.

Since the number of colonies after spreading on a Petri dish of solidified media is 56, n = 56 colonies.

So, 2C/10⁶ = 56

Making C subject of the formula, we have

C = 56 × 10⁶/2

C = 28 × 10⁶ colonies/ml

So, the initial concentration of bacteria is 28 × 10⁶ colonies/ml

When a paper cut breaks the skin, it introduces outside microorganisms into the cut. The body recognizes the break in the skin. Mast cells produce histamines, which cause more blood and lymph fluid to flow to the wound. This increased flow brings phagocytic white blood cells to the area, which destroy invading organisms until the blood can clot and the skin can heal over the cut, preventing more organisms from entering the body. If a cut is too deep or too wide, special care such as stitches and antibiotics could be needed to prevent infection.

1. In a parent pea plant with the allele pair Gg, what is the probability that one gamete will contain the G allele? Why?
2. In a parent pea plant with the allele pair GG, what is the probability that one gamete will contain the g allele? Why?
3. In a parent pea plant with the allele pair gg, what is the probability that one gamete will contain the g allele? Why?

Answers

Answer:

If the gamete will get either G or g, the probability will be 1/2 of getting G.

Explanation:

all question 3 answer is that. Because all 3 of question are same. only repeated three times

In a parent pea plant with the allele pair Gg, the probability that one gamete will contain the G allele is 0.5. This is because there are two possible outcomes in which one must definitely fall. So, it is 1/2.

What is Allele?

Alleles may be characterized as the alternative form or versions of a gene that are responsible for particular traits in living organisms. They carry a code of genetic sequences within generations.

In a parent pea plant with the allele pair GG, the probability that the gamete will contain the g allele is zero. This is because there is no presence of allele g that can be determined within any gametes. So, it is not possible to get g in the pair allele of GG.

In a parent pea plant with the allele pair gg, the probability that one gamete will contain the g allele is 1 or 100%. This is because both carry g alleles. So, the probability is 100%.

a. Umbilical artery
b. Umbilical vein
c. Ductus venosus
d. Ductus arterious
e. Foramen ovale

Answers

Answer:

1. Functions:

a. Umbilical artery >> carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta

b. Umbilical vein >> transports oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus

c. Ductus venosus >> allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver

d. Ductus arterious >> allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's non-functioning lungs

e. Foramen ovale >> oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the pulmonary circulation

2. After the bird:

1. Umbilical artery >> medial umbilical ligament

2. Umbilical vein >> round ligament of the liver

3. Ductus venosus  >> ligamentum venosum

4. Ductus arteriosus >> ligamentum arteriosum

5. Foramen ovale >> fossa ovalis

Explanation:

The umbilical artery is a paired artery localized in the abdominal and pelvic regions, which carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta through the umbilical cord. The medial umbilical ligament is the obliterated part of the umbilical artery that arises from the internal iliac arteries. In utero, the umbilical arteries carry waste products back to the placenta, whereas the umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. The round ligament of the liver (also known as ligamentum teres hepatis) is a remnant of the umbilical vein that  exists in the embryonic stage, it connects the left lobe of the liver to the umbilicus. The ductus venosus is a slender shunt that allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver, it connects the intra-hepatic portion of the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The ligamentum venosum is an extrahepatic, slender, and fibrous remnant of the fetal ductus venosus that travels between the left portal vein and the inferior vena cava. The ductus arteriosus is a fetal artery that connects the aorta to the pulmonary artery. The ligamentum arteriosum is a nonfunctional vestige of the ductus arteriosus, it is attached to the superior surface of the pulmonary trunk. The foramen ovale is an oval-shaped, small, opening in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart. The fossa ovalis is a vestige stricture of the foramen ovale of the embryonic heart, which forms a depression in the right atrium of the heart.
