It plays an essential role in converting the food we eat into fuel for the body's cells. The pancreas has two main functions: an exocrine function that helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar.

Answer: The pancreas secretes the pancreatic juice which is a watery alkaline fluid that contains enzymes that aid in digestion.

Explanation: The pancreas secretes the pancreatic juice. Pancreatic juice is a watery alkaline fluid that contains the enzyme amylopsin, trypsinogen, and steapsin. Amylopsin is an amylase that acts on carbohydrates and converts them to simple sugars, steapsin is a lipase which acts on emulsified fats and converts them to fatty acids and glycerol. Trypsinogen is a protease which is inactive, and it is converted to its active form trypsin which then converts proteins into polypeptides.

Need help with lining up mutated DNA sequence
sergejj [24]
This particular area of genetics can be quite complex. So basically in DNA their is adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine. So, then there is another step to this: Adenine links with Thymine (A is to T), and Cytosine pairs up with Guanine (C is to G). This is known as base pairing. However, when translating DNA to RNA their is a catch, there is no thymine in RNA. Instead there is Uracil. SO in RNA it would be like so: A is to U and C is to G. So when transcribing DNA to mRNA it would be like this. I will give an example: DNA: TGA GTC AAT GGC. However with RNA it would be like this, using the same example I just showed you: ACU CAG UUA CCG. Do you see I it now? Basically when transcribing to RNA you use the opposite of all of the original copy except use Uracil instead of Thmine.
