Nebulin is an actin-binding protein that can be found in skeletal muscles.
Nebulin is large in size and functions
to stabilize actin and regulate muscle
contractions. The gene that codes for
Nebulin, NEB, is on chromosome 2 in
humans. Mutations to the NEB gene
can result in mutations in the amino
acid sequence of the resulting,
Nebulin protein. If the mutation in the
gene causes an amino acid deletion in
the sequence of amino acids that
make up Nebulin, how will this affect
the structure of Nebulin?

Sand spinifex grass is adapted to growing on sand dunes. it is a rapidly spreading plant and the creeping runners produce new root systems. which of these best explains the benefits of these features? a. it limits water loss through the leaves. b. it provides support by anchoring the plant. c. it protects the plant from predators. d. it allows the plant to tolerate salt. reset submit

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.
