Answer:
Down syndrome in humans is due to ADDITIONAL, PARTIAL OR FULL COPY of the 21 st chromosome.
Explanation:
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder in which an individual has a total of 47 chromosomes instead of 46 that is, 23 pairs of chromosomes which is found in normal individuals. This occurs as a result of the presence of additional, partial or full copy of chromosome 21. There are generic variations that occurs in chromosome 21 leading to down syndrome, these include:
-->Trisomy 21 : the individual has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two copies due to abnormal cell division that occurred during development of sperm or egg.
--> Mosaic Down syndrome: the individual has some cells with an extra copy of chromosome 21 and it's caused by abnormal cell division after fertilization.
--> Translocation down syndrome: This type of down syndrome occurs when chromosome 21 gets attached to another chromosome which occurs during or after conception.
Generally the symptoms due to the presence of this extra genetic material includes:
--> short heights
--> poor muscle development
--> short neck
--> short fingers with small hands and feet
--> increased risk to development of dementia
--> greater tendency to develop obesity

Explanation:
based on the information on the map where are the most stable ecosystems usually found?
The correct answer is C. Near the equator.
Explanation
The image shows a world map in which there is a horizontal black line in the middle that represents the equator line and some red areas. These areas are the most stable ecosystems in the world since due to their proximity to the equator the incidence of the sun's rays is more direct. Also, in these areas, there is no weather pattern defined by seasons, but climates are defined by altitude, that is, meters above sea level. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Near the equator.

A consistent response in many organisms to changing environmental temperatures is the restructuring of cellular membranes.In some fish, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the liver microsomal lipid membrane contains predominantly docosahexaenoic acid, 22:6 at C-2 of the glycerol-3-phosphate backbone and then either a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acyl group at C-1. Which of the following statements are False?
a. At 10 degrees Centigrade a lower percentage of PE molecules contain saturated fatty acyl groups at C-1 when compared to fish acclimatized at 30 degrees Centigrade.
b. At 10 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules contain saturated fatty acyl groups at C-1 when compared to fish acclimatized at 30 degrees Centigrade.
Ñ. At 30 degrees Centigrade a lower percentage of PE molecules had monounsaturated acyl groups at C-1 compared to that observed at 10 degrees Centigrade.
d. At 30 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules had monounsaturated acyl groups at C-1 compared to that observed at 10 degrees Centigrade.
e. The purpose of membrane restructuring with a change in temperature is to maintain fluidity of the membrane.
Answer:
The false statements are :
b. At 10 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules contain saturated fatty acyl groups at C-1 when compared to fish acclimatized at 30 degrees Centigrade.
d. At 30 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules had monounsaturated acyl groups at C-1 compared to that observed at 10 degrees Centigrade.
Explanation:
The false statements are :
b. At 10 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules contain saturated fatty acyl groups at C-1 when compared to fish acclimatized at 30 degrees Centigrade.
d. At 30 degrees Centigrade a higher percentage of PE molecules had monounsaturated acyl groups at C-1 compared to that observed at 10 degrees Centigrade.
Reason -
When temperature decreases, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids increases and saturated fatty acids decreases that also decreases the fluidity of the membrane and thereby make it stiff.
When temperature increases, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids decreases and saturated fatty acids increases that makes the cell membrane more fluidic.
So, the temperature changes restructures the membrane with respect to fluidity of membrane.
Therefore,
At 10° Celsius, at C-1 of glycerol, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids increases and saturated fatty acids decreases.
At 30° Celsius, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acid decreases and saturated fatty acid increases.

What features of eukaryotes provide additional opportunities for the regulation of gene expression compared to bacteria? Select all that apply. Select all that apply. interaction with external environment transcription and translation are coupled processes separated processes of transcription and translation presence of chromatin opportunity for posttranscriptional and pre-translational regulation activation of all genes in genome
Answer:
separated processes of transcription and translation presence of chromatin opportunity for posttranscriptional and pre-translational regulationExplanation:
Since there is no nucleus surrounding the genetic material in prokaryote cells, the transcription and translation processes occur simultaneously. Transcription stops when a protein is not necessary. So the control of protein synthesis is regulated by transcription and not translation. Once the transcription is on, all the following steps must follow it.
Transcription is the process that controls the genic expression in bacteria.
Eukaryotes do possess a nuclear membrane that separates the genetic material from the rest of the cell. The transcription process occurs inside the nucleus membrane, while the translation process occurs outside. In the cytoplasm occur the translation process and protein synthesis. Genic regulation can happen in any of these processes in different regions of the cells.
In eukaryotes, the regulation of the genic expression control might happen at different levels:
Epigenetic level: When DNA molecules open and nucleosomes separate to join the transcriptional factorsTranscription level: When the messenger RNA is being transcriptedPost-transcription level: When mRNA goes to the cytoplasm Translation level: During the protein elongationPost-translation level: Once the protein synthesis is over.The changes that occurred in Yellowstone National Park after all of its wolves

Identify the true statements regarding liver glycogen phosphorylase a. Protein phosphatase 1 is abbreviated PP1. The binding of glucose to liver phosphorylase a shifts the equilibrium from the active form to the inactive form. Liver phosphorylase a concentration decreases when glucose enters the blood. As the concentration of phosphorylase a decreases, the activity of glycogen synthase increases. Liver phosphorylase a is regulated by AMP, adenosine monophosphate. When PP1 is bound to phosphorylase a, both PP1 and phosphorylase a are active.
Answer:
Liver phosphorylase a concentration decreases when glucose enters the blood.
The binding of glucose to liver phosphorylase a shifts the equilibrium from the active form
As the concentration of phosphorylase a decreases, the activity of glycogen synthase increases. to the inactive form
Explanation:
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a phosphatase enzyme known to remove phosphate groups from serine/threonine amino acid residues. PP1 plays diverse biological roles including, among others, cell progression, control of glucose metabolism, muscle contraction, etc. In glucose metabolism, PP1 regulates diverse glycogen metabolizing enzymes (e.g., glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, etc). In the liver, glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in glycogenolysis by releasing glucose-1-phosphate. Glycogen phosphorylase a is converted (and inactivated) into the b form by PP1, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphate bond between serine and the phosphoryl group. In the liver, glucose binds in order to inhibit glycogen phosphorylase a, thereby inducing the dissociation and activation of PP1 from glycogen phosphorylase a.
Many scientists say that there is a good reason for gaps in the fossil record. Can you explain why some extinct animals and plants were never fossilized?
Answer:
For an organism to become a fossil, it must not decompose or be eaten. This can happen if the organism either lives within or is moved to a place where it can be buried and kept from decaying. When an organism is buried quickly, there is less decay and the better the chance for it to be preserved.

The purpose of mitosis is to ___, while the purpose of meiosis is to ____.
a) make new cells, and only germ-line cells do it;
b) make eggs or sperm, and all the body cells do it make eggs or sperm, and only germ-line cells do it;
c) make new cells, and all body cells do it make eggs or sperm, and only somatic cells do it;
d) make new cells, and all body cells do it make new cells, and all body cells do it;
e) make eggs or sperm, and only germ-line cells do it
Answer:
A) make new cells(somatic cells)and only germ-line cells do it(meiosis)
Explanation:
Meiosis is the process through which germ cells that produce gametes such as sperm and eggs are formed. It is an equatorial division that involves the parental cell dividing into daughter cells each containing similar genetic material as the parents cell and this can be passed on to successive generation.
While Somatic cells are cells that form the building blocks of the body, they are the actively divided body part and only divide by mitosis.
Meiosis produces germ cells while mitosis produces somatic cells.

Answer: A. A fluid or air-filled space between the digestive tract and the outer body wall. - Coelom
B. Completely lacks a body cavity between the digestive cavity and outer body wall. - Acoelomate
C. Has a body cavity lined by tissue derived from the mesoderm and by tissue derived from the endoderm. - Coelomate
D. Has a body cavity completely lined by tissue from the mesoderm. - Pseudocoelomate
E. Germ Layer- Coelomate
Explanation:
Coelom is a fluid filled body cavity which stores food, blood like fluid in it in some animals.
Those organisms which do not possess the body cavity or coelom they are called as acoelomate. Example, Platyhelminths
Those animals which have a body cavity derive from the germinal layers ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm are coelomate. Example, Annelids
Those animals which have scattered pouches which are not lined by all germinal layers instead one mesoderm will not be able to form coelom. These are called as pseudocoelomate. For example, Nematodes.

For the voltage-gated sodium channel to allow sodium into the cell:_______.
a. the activation and inactivation gates must both be open
b. only the activation gate must be open
c. only the inactivation gate must be open
d. the inactivation gate must be closed shortly before the activation gate opens
e. the activation and inactivation gates must both be closed
Answer:
The correct option is - (a) the activation and inactivation gates must both be open.
Explanation:
Option (a) is correct because of the following reason -
The axonal membrane is at its natural resting potential until an action potential occurs, and [tex]Na^+[/tex] channels are deactivated and blocked on the extracellular side by their activation gates. The activation gates open in response to an electric current, allowing positively charged [tex]Na^+[/tex] ions to flow into the neuron through the channels. When enough [tex]Na^+[/tex] has penetrated the neuron and the membrane potential has reached a certain level, the [tex]Na^+[/tex] channels inactivate themselves by closing their inactivation gates at the height of the action potential. The inactivation gate can be thought of as a "plug" tethered to the intracellular alpha subunit's domains III and IV. When the inactivation gate is closed, the flow of [tex]Na^+[/tex] through the channel is stopped. As a result, both the activation and inactivation gates must be open to enable sodium ions to enter the cell.
Hence , the correct option is (a).
