What kind of new therapies are scientists working on to treat cystic fibrosis?

Select all that apply.

gene therapies to fix the CFTR gene
injections to add water directly to the mucus
inhalers to deliver CFTR to the cells
gene editing to remove the CFTR protein

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B make cells produce a functional CFTR protein.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is caused due to the mutation in the transmembrane protein known as cystic fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator or CFTR. Cystic fibrosis trans membrane regulator proteins helps in the formation of thin mucus and due to the mutation in CFTR the mucus becomes thick.The disease cystic fibrosis basically affect the respiratory system.

If gene therapy is used to treat cystic fibrosis then it can replace the mutated CFTR gene with a functional one so that the cell containing CFTR gene can produce functional CFTR protein.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. gene therapies to fix the CFTR gene

C. inhalers to deliver CFTR to the cells

Explanation:

Suppose that a farmer wishes to start a you‑pick berry farm, where customers pick their own fruit from the berry bushes. In this variety of berry, the tall, thornless, and terminal flower phenotypes are produced by the s, t, and a alleles respectively. These phenotypes are recessive to the short, thorned, and axial flower phenotypes, which are produced by the S, T, and A alleles. The farmer has two berry plants. When selfed, the first plant produces tall, thorned plants with a mixture of axial and terminal flowers. The other plant produces a mixture of tall and short plants, which are all thornless and have terminal flowers. The farmer wishes to generate a pure‑breeding line of tall, thornless plants with terminal flowers, as such plants are most convenient for berry‑picking. What are the genotypes of the farmer's two original berry plants?

Answers

Answer:

The genotypes of the two original plants the farmer has are as follows:

Plant 1: ss,TT,Aa and Plant 2: Ss,tt,aa.

Explanation:

A genotype is literally the underlying makeup that will produce a result that is visible and measurable, that we know as phenotype. In this particular case, we have a farmer who wishes to establish his farm with a specific type of plant: one that is tall, thornless, and has terminal flowers because they are the best for berry-picking, and that is the business he wishes to establish.

In order to be able to obtain this type of plant, he needs to first count with a starting point, the parent plants from which he will be able to produce the line he wants to establish. But to do that he needs to first know the genetic makeup with which, when he crosses the plants, he will then obtain the phenotypical results he seeks.

The question itself tells us the types of alleles (which are, in simple terms, the holders of the genetic information), that produce the phenotypical characteristics of the plants the farmer has.  So we know that there is one type of bush that is tall, thornless and has terminal flowers, and its alleles are s, t and a. The other bush has short, thorned and axial characteristics, and therefore its alleles are: S, T and A.

When the question then gives us the information about the resulting plants when the originals are selfed, and their characteristics, we are able to tell the genetic makeup, or genotype, of the original two plants the farmer has because we can combine the alleles mentioned given the characteristics (phenotypes) and thus obtain the two parent plants.  

Answer:

The genotypes of the two original plants the farmer has are as follows:

Plant 1: ss,TT,Aa and Plant 2: Ss,tt,aa.

The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration; the products of cellular respiration are the reactants for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis uses CO2, sunlight, and H2O to create glucose (C6H12O6) and O2. Cellular respiration uses glucose (C6H12O6) and O2 to create ATP (energy molecules), carbon dioxide, and H2O. One cannot exist without the other. They also help balance out CO2 and O2 levels in the atmosphere.

Which term best describes viruses?
a. Miniscule
b. Gargantuan
c. Harmless
d. Sterile

Answers

Answer:

a. miniscule

Explanation:

 A microorganism that is smaller than a bacterium that cannot grow or reproduce apart from a living cell.

Viruses are really small, much smaller than cells described as miniscule. Therefore, the correct option is A.

They are so small – ranging from 20 to 300 nanometers in size – that they can only be seen under an electron microscope. These infectious organisms are composed of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, that is coated with an inhibitory protein. Their ability to invade host cells and control the cellular replication machinery increases their pathogenicity.

Many diseases can be brought on by viruses, including the common cold, influenza, COVID-19, and more serious infections. To create vaccinations, antiviral drugs, and public health measures to prevent outbreaks and protect world health, it is essential to understand how viruses work. The complexity of these small but powerful agents is still being uncovered by ongoing research.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A. The next generation of the organism inherits the error
B. The mRNA produced has a different base sequence
C. A carbohydrate is produced instead of a protein
D. The gene used to produce the mRNA is altered

Answers

Answer:

B. The mRNA produced has a different base sequence

Explanation:

Transcription is the process in which mRNA is transcribed from DNA, which is then translated into a protein.

An error made during transcription does not alter the sequence of the DNA. Therefore, the gene itself is not altered and the error is not passed on to the next generation.

Carbohydrates are never produced by transcription and translation, which produce polypeptide chains which from mature proteins.

generations of such selection would it take to produce a true breeding flock of Blue

Andalusions?

Answers

Answer:

indeterminate

Explanation:

The answer would be an indeterminate number of generations.

The blue trait is a heterozygous trait. In other words, the blue allele does not really exist. Two different alleles team up to produce the trait, whereas, only two the same allelic conditions can produce a true-breeding flock.

Hence, it will take an indeterminate number of generations to produce a true-breeding flock of the Blue Andalusions.

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?

Answers

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A ligand corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the receptor is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that each receptor can bind to a specific ligand, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.

Read the passage.It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home.
