Answer:

Genetic and Environmental Factors

Explanation:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects how a person behaves, interacts with others and learns.

Studies have found that when one identical twin has ASD, chances are extremely likely that the other twin has it, too.

Genetic and environmental factors are connected. Environmental factors includes such influences as parental age at conception, maternal nutrition, infection during pregnancy and premature.

For example, genetically, fraternal twins share about half of their genes. Because these twins shared a womb, they are more likely to have had the same environmental influences than non-twin siblings.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Ionic compounds are ion compounds. These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. Metals tend to lose electrons, so they have a net positive charge and become cations. Non-metals tend to gain electrons, creating a net negative charge of anions.

The cholera toxin, an AB exotoxin, attaches an ADP-ribose group to the host's stimulatory G factor (Gs). The normal function of
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Some bacterial toxins cause disease by  altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
  • Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
  • Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
  • Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
  • CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
  • Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions

ANEK [815]

Answer:

you would use your muscles from your legs and your body to get up from your bed and go to your fridge, your muscular system helps you up by being a structure for the muscles to apply force, you will use arm muscles for getting out cookies and milk. Then you will drink and eat your cookies and milk with your jaw muscle and send it down your esophagus to the intestines for the digestive system to break down your food. Then you will use your legs(muscles) to go back to your bed and sleep.
