Answer:

Abnormal, unhealthy cells develop

Explanation:

Gene expression is the process through which genes are turned on through transcription, and to some extent through the translation of the mRNA.

Gene expression is highly regulated to ensure the cell can create the correct combination of proteins to carry out it's tasks. If gene expression is out of control, the mRNAs that are transcribed in the cell are not properly regulated, and therefore the proteins in the cell are not regulated. Since proteins carry out essentially every function in the cell, the cell becomes unhealthy, and incorrectly uses its resources.

Accurate control of gene expression also ensures that the cell can perform specialized functions, it is what makes a heart cell distinct from a brain cell, for example. Therefore, if it is out of control, cells will not be specialized correctly.

Use Chargaff’s rules to predict the missing values for E. coli, human, and ox DNA. Round your answers to the nearest whole numbe

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

Explanation:

Chargaff's rules state that in a given DNA molecule the percentage of Adenine %A is approximately equals the percentage of Thymine %T and the percentage of Guanine %G is approximately equals the percentage of Cytosine %C.

Answer is

E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

Please Help Next to Mark’s house, there is a large meadow with small plants and no trees. Behind the meadow is a dense forest wi

Bumek [7]

The forest would be cooler because the trees are thick and no sunlight is allowed through. things are much cooler when there’s no sunlight allowed near them- think about the difference on a hot summers day sitting in unshaded grass vs sitting in shady grass under a big tree.

Which of these tasks would a hydrologist be most likely to perform?

GuDViN [60]

Hydrologists are most likely to perform actions relating to estimating the amount of groundwater in an aquifer.

<h3>Hydrologists</h3>

Hydrologists are scientists that specialize in the study of how water relates to the various crusts of the earth.

Hydrology in itself refers to the branch of science that studies how water moves relative to the earth's crusts.

Thus, species identification, age of fossils, or extracting underground oils have nothing to do with the work of hydrologists.
