Answer:

The correct option is d. it causes exchange diffusion

Explanation:

Amphetamines are synthetic substances with a stimulating effect. Their action lies mainly in increasing synaptic levels of monoamines by various mechanisms, including diffusion exchange through membrane transporters. Amphetamine increases extracellular concentrations of serotonin by displacing the neurotransmitter from its specific presynaptic transporter. When amphetamine binds to serotonin transporters, on the one hand it prevents it from entering the terminal and on the other it reverses the recapture mechanism so that serotonin leaves the synaptic space.

In humans, polydactyly (more than 5 fingers and toes on each hand and foot), is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. What
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

C. More than 5 fingers/toes on each hand/foot

Explanation:

According to the given information, polydactyly is an autosomal dominant trait which means that the phenotype would be expressed in both homozygous dominant and heterozygous dominant genotype.

The given genotype is heterozygous dominant. The individuals with heterozygous dominant genotype would exhibit the polydactyly and would have more than 5 fingers and toes on each hand and foot.

Imagine you are a student trying to decode the genetic code. An artificial mRNA molecule consisting of poly-CA (5ʹ... CACACACACA
Semmy [17]

Answer:

ACA: Threonine

CAC: Histidine

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to remember that the ribosome reads every three bases or 'codon' in order to assign the right tRNA carrying the amino acid.

In the first artificial mRNA we see two patterns of three letter:

CAC and ACA.

In the second artificial mRNA we are able to identify three different patterns:

CAA

AAC

ACA

And they repeat, so we end with three different polypeptides: polythreonine, polyglutamine and polyasparagine. This will depend on the initial letter the ribosome starts reading.

The only amino acid that repeats in both artificial mRNAs is Threonine,  and we see its pattern ACA also repeated.

So, we could assign this codon (ACA) to threonine.

We can then assume that the pattern CAC codifies for histidine since we only get this two polypeptides in the first mRNA.

Lastly with the information provided we cannot determine the codons AAC and CAA for glutamine or asparagine. We would need further experiments.
