Because the stomach is lined by a mucous membrane (the gastric mucosa)
Answer:
The correct answer is - 1:2:1 for black : blue : white chicken.
Explanation:
We know that color of the feather is a trait of the chicken that shows the codominance type of inheritance pattern where both forms of the trait are dominant and make a mix of the forms. In this case, blue is heterozygous BW and black BB and white is WW, then crossed between BW with BW
gametes: B, W and B, W
Punnett
B W
B BB BW
W BW WW
thus, the phenotypic ration is - 1 black : 2 blue : 1 white
The following tests can determine the mineral in a rock specimen:
1. How does the rock crumble or split under pressure?
2. What is the texture of the rock?
3. Observing it under a magnifying lens.
4. Determine the color of the rock
Test 1 and 3 determines if the rock is granular and the types of grains in the rock. Test 3 also determines if the rock has layers hence sedimentary rock.
Determining whether color of the rock is dark or light also helps identify the mineral and type of rock.
Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?
follicle-stimulating hormone
prolactin
thyroid-stimulating hormone
growth hormone
Answer:
growth hormone
Explanation:
Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The lymphatic system can be defined as a system of network of tissues and organs that helps the body to clean toxins and other materials of the body that is not required.
The main function of the lymph is to transport lymph, which is a fluid that helps in fighting with infection.
The pathway that is followed by the lymphatic system inside the body is lymph nodes→ lymph vessels→lymph capillaries→ subclavein veins.
