Answer:

Pancreas.

Explanation:

Pancreas is an organ that acts as both exocrine as well as endocrine gland. As exocrine gland, it secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine that help in digestion of complex food molecules.

As an endocrine gland, it secretes glucagon (from alpha cells) and insulin (from beta cells) hormones, directly into the bloodstream. Both of these hormones are responsible for the regulation of blood sugar level in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is 'pancreas.'

Explain why mutations may or may not affect phenotype

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mutations may or may not affect the phenotype because they can occur in coding or non coding areas of the DNA. If they occur in coding areas of the DNA, the protein that is coded in that part could be processed incompletely or have a different amino-acid in some part of its structure, this would affect the phenotype. If they occur in non coding areas, this would have no effect on the phenotype.

If the pinsulin receptor, a, example of an integral membrane protein, is cotranslationally inserted into the ER membrane with th

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

As the proteins are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, they amalgamate with the vesicles and then they are conducted towards the membrane's cell surface where they act as an integral membrane protein.

The outer end will bind with the ligand and the other one will get attached towards the cytoplasm. Thus, the pinsulin in the given case will combine with the C terminus of the protein.

Answer: the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Explanation:

For organisms to survive changing environmental conditions, a lot of molecular processes occur in the genes.

For the arctic fox, enzymes coded by specific genes are periodically "switched on or off" depending on the temperature.

Thus, the change in colour can be EXPLAINED by the expression of certain genes affected by temperature
