Describe two examples of how an understanding of genetics is making new fields of health care(treatment or diagnosis)possible?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Genetics is a branch of science that deals with the study of genes, their sequence, function, variation, and heredity.

Increasing understanding of genetics help in making new fields of health care, for example,  

  • Gene therapy helps in treating various genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis et cetera.
  • Molecular genetics help in the development of more precise methods for diagnosis such as ELISA.
  • Pedigree analysis and karyotypes help in early detection of possible hereditary diseases.
  • DNA fingerprinting helps in detecting criminal suspects, paternity test, identification of dead organism et cetera.
Answer 2
Answer: Genome sequencing allows specialized cancer treatments, and research regarding genetic markers can help to predict an individual's likelihood of having diseases such as heart disease or diabetes.

When you squeeze lime juice onto sliced avocado or drip orange juice over your sliced apples, you are using citric acid as a competitive inhibitor to prevent oxygen from binding to the active site of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), the enzyme that causes fruit to turn brown.Which model best shows this inhibition?

Answers

Answer:

The correct model is attached as the image.

Explanation:

In this model, there is large green circular in shape on that a medium circular indentation towards the left to the green circle. On the other hand towards the right there are two small circular indentations. There is a green smaller indention is shown as the site where oxygen binds when lime juice is squeezed on avocado.

There is two tiny gray circular structure that is joined together by a spaced line represent the oxygen that moves to bind to the active site. Arrow is connected from this gray structure to the indentation and turn back which shows inhibition. The model is given below.

Which factors provide the basis for the differences observed in the major land biomes on Earth?A.Average temperature and average precipitation
B. Average windspeed and average oxygen levels
C. Average day length and average night length
D. Average organic content and average mineral content in soil

Answers

Biomes are most influenced by their latitude, precipitation and their temperature.

A.Average temperature and average precipitation
-yes, this is a very good answer!

B. Average windspeed and average oxygen levels
-no, not as much

C. Average day length and average night length
-no, this has to do with latitute, but does not directly influence biome

D. Average organic content and average mineral content in soil
no, this is rather influenced by precipitation and by temperature, not the other way

Correct answer choice is:

A) Average temperature and average precipitation


Explanation:


Some people say there are only 5 important types of biomes aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, and tundra. Forests are divided into the rainforest, temperate forest, chaparral, and taiga plains are broken into savanna and warm grasslands, and the marine biome is divided into freshwater and marine.

Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the sun. What is its distance from the sun in kilometers? 28,846 km 78,000 km 28,846,153 km 780,000,000 km<-----

Answers

Answer:

Distance of Jupiter from sun in kilometers is 7.779 * 10^8 \n km

Explanation:

Given,

The distance of Jupiter from sun in astronomical unit (AU) = 5.2\n

One astronomical unit (AU) = 1.496 * 10^8\n Kilometers

So, in order to convert 5.2\n AU into kilometers , the distance in AU should be multiplied with total kilometers in one unit of AU

Thus,

Distance of Jupiter from sun in kilometers

= 5.2 AU * 1.496 * 10^8 ( (Km)/(AU))\n= 7.779 * 10^8 Km\n
approximately 780,000,000 km from the sun.
