Answer:
a. Glucagon is released by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans.
Explanation:
When the body is fasting, the pancreas releases glucagon so that your body can produce glucose. Glucagon is a protein hormone made and secreted by alpha cells from pancreatic islets (or islets of Langerhans).
The islets of Langerhans are a special group of cells in the pancreas that produce not only glucagon, but also insulin. These substances act as important regulators of sugar metabolism.
Answer:
Option (1), (2) and (3).
Explanation:
DNA is the genetic material of all the living organisms present on earth. The DNA contains the nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar and the phosphate group. DNA strands runs in the opposite direction and shows polarity.
Watson and Crick explain the structure of DNA based on the X ray diffraction produced by Rosalind. According to the structure, chromosomes are present in the nucleus and contains the DNA and wrapped around the proteins. The genes is considered as the functional segment of DNA.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1), (2) and (3).
D. One sex has a higher chance to inherit it than the other (male).
These can be either recessive or dominant. We usually think more of the recessive traits like color blindness and hemophilia but dominant sex-linked traits also exist (fragile X).
Answer:
A point mutation is a type of mutation in DNA or RNA, the cell’s genetic material.
Explanation:
DNA and RNA are made up of many nucleotides. There are five different molecules that can make up nitrogenous bases on nucleotides: cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA), abbreviated C, G, A, T, and U.
