Wernicke-korsakoff syndrome is associated with the decreased absorption and utilization of thiamin. The correct answer is c. thiamin..

The neurological condition Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is brought on by a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamin). There is no distinction between Korsakoff syndrome and Wernicke encephalopathy. The disease process is the same but at various stages. Both result from brain damage brought on by a deficiency in vitamin B1.

A prevalent deficiency in vitamin B1 is found in patients with alcohol use disorders. Additionally, it frequently affects persons whose bodies do not adequately absorb meals (malabsorption). This can occasionally happen after bariatric surgery or in conjunction with a chronic condition.

Following the disappearance of Wernicke encephalopathy symptoms, Korsakoff syndrome frequently appears. The thalamus and hypothalamus, two lower regions of the brain, are damaged as a result of Wernicke encephalopathy. Memory-related brain regions suffer permanent harm in people with Korsakoff syndrome.

How many different codons can code for the amino acid tryptophan (Trp)?
Minchanka [31]
The chart very nicely lays out the amino acid each codon corresponds to. You're looking for "trp" in the chart, which only appears once, beside the UGG codon. Therefore, only one codon codes for tryptophan.

A.

Because yellow is more dominant so it’s more common for offsprings to have yellow petals but some of the offsprings will also take some traits of the pink petals so it’s A!
