Answer:
A) A) The gene encoding miR-5 is in a region of chromatin with hypoacetylation.
D) The gene encoding miR-5 in a region of heterochromatin.
B) D) the absence of the UCD protein due to miR-5 inhibiting translation of the UCD mRNA transcript
Explanation:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA sequences (approximately 20-24 nucleotides in length) that regulate gene expression by RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms. These sequences (miRNAs) bind by base complementarity to messenger RNAs and thus inhibit protein translation and/or trigger mRNA degradation. In this case, miR-5 binds to the 3’UTR of the mRNA transcript of the UCD gene, thereby inhibiting/slowing protein UCD synthesis. The UCD protein is an allosteric regulator that binds and activates the expression of the p101 protein, thereby the miR-5 RNAi pathway also indirectly decreases the expression of the p101 gene. Moreover, hypoacetylation is an epigenetic mark generally associated with gene silencing (heterochromatin is a transcriptionally inactive state of chromatin).
Unlike skeletal muscle, the muscle cells of the heart (called "cardiomyocytes") metabolize very little glucose, relying almost exclusively on metabolism of fatty acids for their energy. Which of the following statements are likely to be true of cardiomyocytes, but NOT skeletal myocytes? (select two answers)
a. low levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is high
b. high levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is low
c. low lactate production, even at high activity
d. high lactate production, even at low activity
e. many mitochondria compared to other cells
f. few mitochondria compared to other cells
Answer: A. low levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is high.
C. low lactate production, even at high activity.
Explanation:
Cardiomyocytes are also known as the myocardiocytes. They are the cells which makes up make up the muscle if the heart. They're responsible for the generation of the contractile force in the heart which helps in the pumping if blood.
From the options given, the statements that are likely to be true of cardiomyocytes, but not of skeletal myocytes include:
• low levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is high.
• low lactate production, even at high activity.
Answer:
The answer is A and C
Explanation:
Since cardiomyocytes are dependent on fatty acids, they rely on oxidative phosphorylation to generate energy, and consume very little glucose. Due to this, they have very low need for fermentation of pyruvate. In fact, they can absorb lactate generated by skeletal myocytes and erythrocytes and oxidize it for additional energy. Another consequence of this metabolism is that cardiomyocytes store little or no glucose as glycogen.
Skeletal myocytes and cardiomyocytes both have high energy needs and thus have more mitochondria than other cells. Cardiomyocytes have an even greater density of mitochondria than skeletal myocytes because they depend almost entirely on oxidative phosphorylation for their energy needs. This dependence on oxidative phosphorylation also explains the extraordinary sensitivity of cardiac muscle to hypoxic (low-oxygen) events. Without oxygen, cardiomyocytes rapidly run out of energy and can quickly die.
why do sun spots appear darker than their surroundings
Answer:
they are comer than their surroundings.
Sunspots are cooler because their magnetic fields inhibit the replenishing of heat from convective flows (due to the interaction between plasma and magnetic fields). This allows them to cool radiatively. The rest of the solar surface is constantly being replenished by convective cells that reheat it.
Answer:
because they are significantly cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface Despite their gloomy appearance, they are nonetheless extremely hot. A sunspot would shine brightly if it were alone in space.

4.In humans, the allele which confers the ability to roll the tongue is dominant over the allele which does not confer the ability to roll the tongue. If a man who can roll his tongue and whose mother could not mates with a woman who cannot roll her tongue, what proportion of the children would be expected to be able to roll their tongues if they have a large number of children
Answer:
The correct answer is - 1/2
Explanation:
the ability to roll the tongue is dominant over those who can not roll the tongue. The man is Rr (man), heterozygous. The woman is recessive and can not roll
Rr (man) x rr (woman)---Parents
r
R Rr (roll)
r rr (cann't roll)
The probability of their children to able to roll = 1/2 = 50%

b. Bobcats are another predator of snowshoe hare. If a population of bobcats immigrates to the
area, how is this likely to affect the habitat's carrying capacities for hare and lynx?
Answer:
Decrease population and carrying capacity.
Explanation:
If a population of bobcats immigrates to the area, the population of hare and lynx decreases that also affect the habitat's carrying capacities for hare and lynx because bobcats feed on both hare and lynx. Bobcats are very aggressive in nature, and has an aggressive hunting style. With these characteristics, the bobcats can hunt both hare and lynx which leads to decrease in population and carrying capacity.
Which structure transports urine to the bladder by peristaltic action?
Answer:
The muscular layer of the ureter consists of longitudinal and circular smooth muscles that create the peristaltic contractions to move the urine into the bladder without the aid of gravity.
Answer:
The ureter
Explanation:
The ureter is a long thin tubular structure 10-12 inches long which carries urine produced in the kidney to the bladder. The urine is transported by a process called peristalsis. The ureter actively propels urine from the kidney down into the bladder.
plz give a correct answer for the question how do canine and molar differ
Answer:
Canines are the sharp, pointed teeth that sit next to the incisors and look like fangs. Dentists also call them cuspids or eyeteeth. Canines are the longest of all the teeth, and people use them to tear food
Molars are the flat teeth at the rear of the mouth. Each molar typically has four or five cusps. They are used exclusively for crushing and grinding. Wisdom teeth are also called third molars. They erupt from the age of 18 onwards but are often surgically removed.Their function is similar to that of the premolars, to grind, tear, and crush food. Molars have a large flat biting surface which makes them perfect for this job.

The process by which dissolved gases are exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluids is Select one: a. cellular respiration. b. diffusion. c. external respiration. d. breathing. e. pulmonary ventilation.
Answer:
b. diffusion.
Explanation:
Diffusion can be defined as the movement of gas molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration until an equilibrium is attained or reached. This mixing of gas molecules in the liquid or gaseous state is due to their kinetic energy of random motion i.e without requiring bulk motion.
This ultimately implies that, diffusion is a phenomenon through which gas molecules in either a gaseous or liquid state spread out in response to a concentration gradient, which is simply the difference in concentration of the gases across a space.
During diffusion, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
In this context, the process by which dissolved gases are exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluids is referred to as diffusion.
On a related note, this process is also referred to as internal respiration because it involves the exchange of oxygen gas and carbon (II) oxide gas between tissue cell and capillaries.

Traditionally, the classification of fungi has been based on the nature of sexual stages of the life cycle. For Penicillium, however, no sexual stages of the life cycle have been observed. Without evidence from sexual stages, speculate about other possible sources of evidence that scientists may use in classification.
Answer:
Without the evaluation of sexual stages, fungi can be classified according to the type of colony they present, the speed of growth, the formation of pigments and the type of coloration.
Explanation:
Although the observation of sexual stages is extremely efficient for the classification of fungi in the laboratory. This type of analysis is not always possible to be carried out. In that case, scientists need to find other methods that allow for the classification of fungi. These methods are carried out with the help of a microscope, where scientists observe the morphology of the fungi and are able to classify them according to the type of colony they present, the speed of growth, the formation of pigments and the type of coloration.

g In order to stimulate the renin-angtiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), _______________ cells in the kidney detect _______________blood pressure which causes ________________ to be released from the juxtaglomerular cells.
Answer:
Macula densa cells, lower and renin.
Explanation:
Macula densa cells in the kidney detect lowers blood pressure which causes renin to be released from the juxtaglomerular cells which is an enzyme. The arterial cells observe the drop in blood pressure, and the decrease in Na concentration is transfer to them by the macula densa cells. The juxtaglomerular cells then release an enzyme called renin. Renin converts angiotensinogen which is a peptide, or amino acid derivative into angiotensin-1.

In the cell bio lab, we use company manufactured gels, however you can make you own polyacrylamide gels. List all of the ingredients found in an SDS-PAGE gel. Which ingredients are responsible for polymerizing the solution?
Answer:
The list of ingredients are used in this method are as follow-
1. Acrylamide - mostly 30%
2. Bisacrylamide - mostly 0.8%
3. 1.5M Tris-Hcl pH 6.8 for stacking gel and 8.8 for separating gel.
4. 10% SDS
5. 10% APS
6. TEMED
7. Double distilled water
Polymerization:
Acrylamide is a polymer that is used to dissolved in buffer and bisacrylamide is the cross linking agen.
Two types of gels are prepared for separation of protein. Stacking gel is usually 4 or 6% and separating gel is usually 10 to 20%. Lower concentration of stacking gel will allow the migration of all the protein same because of larger pore size. It will stack or line up the proteins for its next level of separation.
Higher concentration of separating gel will provide resistance to the movement of protein because of the low pore size and therefore linear bands can be achieved neatly.

By the early 1980s, the population of Florida panthers had dwindled to fewer than 30. Furthermore, within this population was a high frequency of detrimental traits, including low sperm count and undescended testicles in males, and kinked tails in both sexes. The future for this iconic population was bleak at best. Provide an explanation for the observed detrimental traits. Provide a possible solution that would both increase the likelihood that the population would survive and preserve the genetic identity of this unique population.
Answer:
The population suffered a genetic bottleneck, which decreased genetic variation and thereby randomly increasing the frequency of harmful alleles
Explanation:
A population bottleneck, also known as genetic bottleneck, can be defined as a drastic reduction in the size of a population, which may be caused by anthropic activity and/or environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, famines, fires, droughts, etc). A genetic bottleneck leads to a reduction in genetic variability within a population. Moreover, the genetic drifit caused by a genetic bottleneck can also increase the frequency of harmful alleles/mutations (it is due to the random sampling of individuals), thereby increasing the frequency of deleterious alleles/mutations in the population.
