Explain the relationship among homeostasis, defective mitochondria, and the symptoms caused by LHON.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:  The Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is caused by defective genes contained in mitochondrial DNA.

Explanation:

LHON is causes the vision loss. This occurs due to mutation in the mitochondrial DNA. The symptoms are not associated vision loss thus it is difficult to predict that which member of family was the carrier of the disease. Some people do not get completely blind. A young male is expected to develop a risk of 50% development of this disease.

A plant that produces wrinkled, green seeds was mated to a plant that produces phenotypically round, yellow seeds. In the F1 generation, half of the plants produced round, yellow seeds and the other half produced round, green seeds. The round, yellow F1 seeds were planted and those plants were allowed to self-fertilize. In the F2 generation what fraction of the seeds will be genotypically identical to the plants of the parental generation?A. 3/16 B. 1/16
C. 1/4
D. 9/16

Answers

Answer:

A. 3/16

Explanation:

The plants with wrinkled, green seeds (rryy) and  round, yellow seeds  were crossed. Since the progeny did not show a "wrinkled" trait, the parent plant with "round" seeds was homozygous for seed shape and heterozygous for the seed color (RRYy). The genotype of the double recessive parent plant would be "rryy".

A cross between RRYy x rryy gives progeny in following ratio: 1/2 round, yellow seeds( RrYy ): 1/2 round, green seeds (Rryy)

The F2 progeny was obtained by self crossing RrYy plants. In F2 progeny, 3/16 plants (2/16 RRYy and 1/16 rryy) were genotypically identical to the parent plant.

Answers

If the Midwest experiences a severe drought that damages the corn crops, we should expect the supply of corn to decrease and the price of corn to rise.

Severe drought is a long period of abnormally low rainfall and dry weather, in a specific region, which negatively affects plants and living organisms. Severe droughts can have a considerable effect on the agriculture and ecosystem of the affected region. Severe drought damages crops, thus it influences crop production.

Answer:

Protein synthesis, RNA sequestration, RNA transport and  to control transcriptional gene.

Explanation:

The role of non-coding RNAs in transcriptional regulation as well as proteins synthesis etc. Non-coding RNAs is responsible for controlling different processes like protein synthesis, RNA sequestration, RNA transport and  to control transcriptional gene through epigenetic regulation and chromatin remodeling. By interacting with DNA, RNA and proteins, non-coding RNAs can regulate chromatin structure and function and the transcription of neighboring.
