g UV radiation causes covalent dimerization of two subsequent ______ bases in DNA. This dimer is recognized and repaired by ______.
Answer: The options are not given.
Here are the options.
a. C and C ;;;; DNA photolyase
b. T and T ;;;;; DNA photolyase
c. C and C ;;;; DNA photoisomerase
d. T and T ;;;;; DNA photoisomerase
e. None of the above
Explanation:
UV light damages the DNA of cells that are exposed by making bonds to be formed between adjacent pyrimidine bases, usually thymines, in the DNA chains. The thymine dimers inhibit or hinder the DNA correct replication during reproduction of the cell.
UV radiation causes covalent dimerization of two subsequent T and T because Thymine bases of DNA directly absorbs a UVB photon . UVB light causes thymine base pairs close to each other in genetic sequences to bond together into pyrimidine dimers, thereby causing a disruption in the strand, which reproductive enzymes cannot copy.
UV-induced thymine dimers can be repaired by photoreactivation, in a process where energy from visible light is used to split the bonds forming the cyclobutane ring through the action of DNA photolyase, an enzyme that repaired damaged cause by uv radiation to dna.
While not an official step in the process, Acetyl CoA formation is a transition between glycolysis and krebs, and occurs only in the presence of oxygen.

Why are G protein only found in Eukaryote cell ?
Answer:
they bind to protein-coupled transmembrane receptors with higher complexity than those found in prokaryotes
Explanation:
G-proteins are proteins found inside the cells that function as molecular switches which are activated by binding to guanosine triphosphate (GTP), while they are inactive by binding to guanosine diphosphate (GDP). The G-proteins bind to G-protein-coupled transmembrane receptors (GPCRs) in the cytoplasmic region. The GPCRs are a very diverse group of proteins that are activated by extracellular molecules ranging from small peptides to large proteins, including pheromones, neurotransmitters, light-sensitive compounds, etc, thereby allowing them to respond to diverse stimuli from the extracellular environment. In consequence, it is reasonable to suppose that the signaling pathways in which G proteins are involved have a higher complexity level than those observed in primitive prokaryotic organisms.

Vaccination is a process of injecting a dead or weakened form of a pathogen into the body. How does this help strengthen the immune system? It allows the body to increase its internal temperature. It allows the body to regulate the inflammatory response. It allows the body to keep pathogen information for future infections. It allows the body to increase its desire to eat healthy food.
Answer:
It allows the body to keep pathogen information for future infections.
Explanation:
Vaccination is the process whereby a substance called VACCINE is injected into body in order to prepare the immune system for resistance against infections. A vaccine contains the harmless or dead version of a pathogen called ANTIGEN, which functions to give the immune system defense mechanism against that form of pathogen in future.
The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system of the body to fight against the antigens in the same way it will fight against an actual pathogen in the future. Hence, the body keeps the information on how to combat such pathogens when there is an actual infection.

Explanation:
A research team discovered that a novel hormone X stimulates an enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins in the small intestine. However, when hormone X was added to a test-tube mixture containing the enzyme and proteins, no breakdown occurred.
Required:
a. Why is this the case?
b. Name ONE signal transduction pathway that hormone X is using to transfuse its signal. (write all the steps and intermediates)
Answer:
a. It is a hormone that acts upstream in the signaling pathway (i.e., acting as a ligand by binding to cell receptors)
b. Dopamine-mediated pathways
Explanation:
It is well known that many cellular transduction pathways are activated via binding of signaling molecules (ligands) to receptors capable of triggering signaling cascades into the cell. For example, dopamine is a signaling hormone (neurotransmitter) involved in diverse brain processes (i.e., motor control, emotional response, etc). It is a neurotransmitter that binds to dopamine receptors and then stimulates the enzyme adenylate cyclase in a process that subsequently activates the production of the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Finally, cAMP acts as an intracellular signal transductor that play roles in many biological processes by transferring into the cell the effects of dopamine.
21. When looking at the effect of pH on sucrase activity, what was the wavelength of light
used in the spectrophotometer?
Answer:
540nm
Explanation:
Sucrase is one of the digestive enzymes responsible for the digestion of sucrose containing foods. Its major function is the catalysis of the hydrolysis of sucrose into its subunits; fructose and glucose.
Enzymes, as biochemical catalysts always function maximally at an optimum pH. As the pH of the system departs from the ideal pH for any enzyme, the activity of that enzyme decreases accordingly.
The activity of sucrose is studied using a spectrophotometer of wavelength about 540nm. As the pH of the solution departs from the specific ideal pH of sucrase, its activity decreases as stated above.
Saprobic microorganisms are important decomposers of plant litter, animal matter, and dead microbes. This is an example of a(n) ______________.
Answer:
The correct answer would be - heterotrophs (chemoheterotrophs)

Saprobic microorganism are free living organisms that get their energy from decomposing rotten or dead organic matter such as plant litter, animal matter and dead microbes. It is performed with the help of enzymes or chemicals they release to decompose such matter. they also known as chemoheterotrophs.
Thus, the correct answer would be - heterotrophs (chemoheterotrophs).
The backbone vertebrae, skull, and rib cage make up the _______ skeleton. Among other types of cells, bone marrow produces _______ blood cells, which carry oxygen in the blood. _______ can eventually become osteocytes. If bones rapidly deconstruct faster than new bone tissue grows, this can lead to less dense and more fragile bones. When severe, this condition is called _______. _______ such as the MCL and ACL connect bone to other bone at joints.
ANSWERS :
1.axial
2. red
3. Osteoblasts
4. osteoporosis
5. Ligaments
6. Osteoblasts are cells that build bone tissue, and are called osteocytes when they become surrounded by the bone that they have built. Osteoclasts are cells that break down bone tissue. The building and breaking down of bone tissue continues throughout a person’s lifetime and makes bones strong. If osteoclasts break down more bone than osteoblasts build, this can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis, causing bones to be fragile and break more easily.
Answer:
1. axial
2. red
3. Osteoblasts
4. osteoporosis
5. Ligaments
Explanation:
The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate including skull, and rib cage.
Bone marrow produces red blood cells, which carry oxygen in the blood.
Osteoblasts can become osteocytes, which are the third type of bone cells.
Osteoporosis is a bone resorption disease in which bones rapidly deconstruct faster than new bone tissue grows, and decreases the mechanical strength of bones.
Ligaments connects one bone to other at joint such as medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that joins knee.
Hence, the correct answer for the question is as follows:
1.axial
2. red

A purebred tall pea plant is cross-pollinated with a tall, heterozygous pea plant. Use a Punnett square to determine the probability the offspring inherita
recessive short allele. (I point)
75%
25%
0%
50%
Answer:
The correct answer is - 25%
Explanation:
A cross between true tall pea plant and heterozygous tall pea plant is the cross of tall allele whic is TT and heterozygous which is Tt, so the gametes will be formed would be - T and T by true tall plant and T, and t allele by heterozygous plant.
The Punnett square of this cross is attached with the answer, where 2 heterozygous offspring and two tall offspring produced. In which there is only two recessive short allele formed in this generation out of 8 alleles.
So the probability of short allele would be:
= (2/8) *100
= (1/4) *100
= 25%

What growth information leads to your answer? The colonies are able to grow on minimal medium containing no additional supplements. The colonies are able to grow on complete medium.
Answer:
A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation,[1] or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens.[2] Different types of media are used for growing different types of cells.[3]
The two major types of growth media are those used for cell culture, which use specific cell types derived from plants or animals, and microbiological culture, which are used for growing microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi. The most common growth media for microorganisms are nutrient broths and agar plates; specialized media are sometimes required for microorganism and cell culture growth.[1] Some organisms, termed fastidious organisms, require specialized environments due to complex nutritional requirements. Viruses, for example, are obligate intracellular parasites and require a growth medium containing living cells.

What part of the brain is known as the pleasure center?
A. Brain stem
B. Hypothalamus
C. Thalamus
D. Midbrain
SUBMIT
Answer:
B. Hypothalamus
Explanation:
The hypothalamus contains the pleasure center of the brain, the nucleus accumbens. The hormone dopamine is released from this part of the brain in response to or anticipation of pleasurable activities such as eating good food, monetary rewards as well as when taking psychoactive drugs.
The release of dopamine affects other feelings such as happiness, focus, being alert as well as staying motivated. it also affect some voluntary actions as well.
Constantly seeking out activities that stimulate dopamine release may lead to addiction to such activities as in drug addiction.
