Answer:
The correct option is d) head.
Explanation:
Bicoid protein works as a transcription factor. It enters the nuclei of the embryos in early segmentation, where it activates the hunchback gene. In Drosophila, embryonic development begins at the time of fertilization. The sperm enters the mature oocyte through the micropile, a structure located in what will be the anterior region of the egg. Bicoid and hunchback mRNAs, protein products are critical for the formation of the head and thorax. Already in the early stages of oocyte development, certain mRNAs are located in specific regions of the oocyte: mRNA molecules encoding the Bicoid protein are preferentially located in the anterior region of the oocyte. Moderate levels of the bicoid protein are necessary to activate the formation of the thorax (i.e., the expression of the hunchback gene) but the formation of the head requires high concentrations of Bicoid, the promoters of a specific gap gene of the head must have sites of low affinity binding for Bicoid, so that this gene can be activated only in extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.
The lack of Bicoid protein affects the formation of the head and other structures in the anterior region of the oocyte.
Answer:
Hi,
The correct answer option is B; A tapeworm latches itself in the intestines of a rat, feeding off all the nutrients eaten by the rat
Explanation:
In parasitism, one of the organism, the parasite lives in or on the other organism namely the host causing it harm and sometimes death.For example a tick that lives on dogs is a parasite.In this answer choice, the rat is the host whereas the tapeworm is the parasite.
Best of Luck!
A zoonosis (zoonotic disease or zoonoses -plural) is an infectious disease that is transmitted between species from animals to humans (or from humans to animals).
