Explain why the underproduction of albumin by a cirrhotic liver contributes to excessive filtration, which leads to ascites. Ref

Answer:

Albumin is produced mainly by the liver. Albumin is the major protein that is acts as the carrier protein for steroids, thyroid hormones and fatty acids in the blood.

Albumin stays in blood vessels as they are too large to move across the capillary walls, in blood vessels by contributing to osmotic pressure or colloid osmotic pressure that maintain water volume. So, the albumin is the protein that is involve primarily on the water reabsorption.

During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown b
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

b. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

There is redundancy in the genetic code. That means that different codons can code for the same amino acids, so some mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of the protein.

Here, the amino acid is unchanged with the mutation.

If the amino acid sequence of the protein is the same, then the protein is not changed, so there will be no change in the phenotype

Reciprocal altruism can be best explained with a model proposed by Robert Trivers in 1971. Trivers hypothesized that if one indi
Leni [432]

Answer:

Reciprocal altruism is one of the altruism behaviors in which an individual organism helps in increasing the fitness of another organism by reducing the fitness of itself temporarily in expectation of the same behavior from another organism in the future later.

It takes place in the same set of organism partners which is a continuous interaction ion in stable groups of organisms.

Thus, the correct answer would be - an ongoing interaction in the same set of partners.

Why does maltose have both alpha and beta anomers?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Maltose is a disaccharide sugar made up of two units of glucose.

In cyclic structure, the glucose exists in two anomeric forms; alpha and beta.

These glucose units can either joined by α (1→4) glycosidic bond or by β (1→4) glycosidic bond.

Thus, the maltose exists in two anomeric form alpha and beta.

If a homozygous black bull is mated with a homozygous white cow and the calf is gray, this would be an example of ________. howe
I am Lyosha [343]

The first statement above is an example of incomplete dominance. If the calf has black and white spots then that’s an example of codominance.

 

Incomplete dominance is a form of transitional inheritance in which one allele for an explicit trait is not entirely expressed over its paired allele. This effects in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a mixture of the phenotypes of both alleles.

 

Codominance<span> is a form of dominance by which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are wholly expressed. This effects in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant or recessive. A usual example showing this type of dominance is the ABO blood group system.</span>
